I travel all over the country every month and I always make it a point to stop here. They have hands down the best food in this entire area. From the birria Ramen to the drinks I have such a welcoming great time every time I come here.

I came here after seeing the famous Asian guy on YouTube Shorts eat here, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Even though I don’t eat meat, I was really happy to find that they had a delicious vegetarian burrito, which was flavorful, filling, and clearly made with care. It’s not always easy to find good veg options at a birria-focused spot, so this was a pleasant surprise. My brother ordered the famous birria, and he said it was really delicious and totally worth it. Just a heads up for anyone curious: the only meat they serve here is birria, so they really focus on doing that one thing well. Overall, great food, solid options, and a spot that lives up to what you see online.

Great authentic birria spot. That’s all they sell and they know what they are doing. I will be back for more!

Food is very very good. Birria is juicy, tender, and flavorful. Portions are also very generous and filling. I ordered 3 Quesabirria tacos with consomé, and a birria mulita. Got full with two. Service is excellent as well as the young gentleman at the counter greeted us with kindness. Would 100% recommend.

If you are craving a hearty meal, this Tijuanastyle beef birria is a must try. The portions are generous, and the beef is tender, packed with flavor, and falls apart perfectly. The salsa is top notch just the right amount of spice. The owner is super friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. It’s a small place, but the food makes it totally worth it. My kids also really enjoyed the fried vanilla ice cream coated in corn flakes definitely a sweet treat to end the meal. Highly recommend

Food was hot and fresh. The male behind who kindly took the order was the same one who brought the food out. When he brought out the food he asked if I wanted a refill of my pineapple drink. This was the best food I’ve had this week.
