Went here in two different days and enjoyed myself both times. Staff was very friendly. Bathrooms were clean. Food was good but lacked flavor. There was a hair in our giants drink and staff was quick to resolve the issue. Parking is limited so get here while you can.

Great queso birria taco combo (comes with consomme & 4 tacos) and good horchata. They also give ceviche when you dine in and its really good. They have BYOB which is nice and the staff is really friendly and helpful. I can't give it 5 stars only because of how inconvenient the parking lot is since the entrance and exit is the same side. once you get to the end of the lot its hard to even make a 3-point turn to leave. The patio is really pretty though and nice no matter the time of year because it is shielded

The food was great & flavorful , it came out super quick. We had the chicken and the beef Birria tacos & the frozen strawberry lemonades. Our total was around $50. Everything tasted soo good, we got full & still had some to take home. The customer service was great, our server was really friendly even though we came in an hour before they closed. There was even live music it was cute & fun! I highly recommend.

Every time I have driven past this place the parking lot is full and people are waiting to get into for a meal. Well my day arrived and as usual I tried a number of dishes, 4 to be exact. My sister and I enjoyed the experience. Let me say the service is EXCELLENT. Food came fast, hot and ready. No I didn't eat everything, neither of us did. Good price points. The food was good but nothing we had IMO was like, "WOW, I can't wait to have that again!" It is good food. That was it. The experience was delightful. The people were kind, pleasant and efficient. I think I liked that more than the food. Maybe one day I might want to return but if I don't I am pretty sure I won't miss anything. They provide a nice ceviche when you sit down. We ordered their Tacos Birria with Beef Stew, 1.5 lbs of King Crab with potatoes and corn, Some type of Shrimp Cauldron Stew, and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. If you like Crab or Shrimp then this is your place. It's BYOB, and there may be a Mariachi Band working tables.

This place definitely lived up to the Facebook craze it created! They originally exploded due to their amazing food videos, which included the birria tacos and everyone responded! Lol So yes, if you go on the weekend, there will be a wait. A long one. I waited about an hour and a half on a Friday to get a seat outside. The lot is medium sized but jam packed so street parking might be your best bet. You put your name and number on the list and then sit and wait in the car until they call you. If you go during the week, early in the day, you should be able to bypass the crazy wait. The food was worth all of the wait. I got the birria tacos and king crab legs. They weren't too spicy and the platter was ENORMOUS! It can easily feed 3 people! The tacos were super flavorful, too. I was also able to order smoothies/slushees that are delicious on there own but can also be used as a base to mix with a drink. The service was quick as well and I was surprised given the fact that the place was so packed. This place is definitely worth the wait and worth checking out!
