" Had an amazing experience here! I was blown away by how authentic the flavors were—each bite reminded me of home. The consome was so good that I could drink it straight! Wasn't thrilled with the venue's size, but the taste made up for it. Can't wait to return with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this restaurant, but my experience was less than stellar. The birria tacos were just okay, lacking the depth of flavor that I was expecting. The service was friendly enough, but it took a long time for our food to arrive. I would recommend trying the quesabirria instead, as I've heard great things from friends. Overall, I wouldn't mind giving it another shot on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" This cozy little joint serves the best birria in town! The flavors are spot on, reminiscent of authentic Mexican birria. It's a small place with big flavor—every dish we've tried has been fantastic. I especially love the quesabirria tacos! The only downside? Sometimes it’s packed, which can lead to a wait, but it's oh-so-worth it. Make sure to try their fresh horchata too! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I first entered, I thought this place was small, but the taste is enormous! The birria is incredibly delicious, with flavors reminiscent of Mexico. The service was quick and really personal. I took my meal to go as the seating is limited and busy. I can't wait to try their other offerings next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although the food here was delicious, I found the service could use some improvement. We had to wait a while before our order was taken and the staff seemed overwhelmed. However, when the food finally arrived, it was remarkable! The birria tacos were flavorful, and the consome was the star of the meal—so rich and savory. I would consider returning, hoping for a smoother service experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended this restaurant to me and I was pleasantly surprised. The birria tacos were flavorful, and the complimentary consome kept me dipping throughout the meal! Service was great, with staff checking up on us regularly. The only downside is that it gets pretty crowded at peak hours, so consider visiting at off-peak times if you're looking to avoid waits. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week was my first time here, and I can honestly say it was a memorable meal! The birria had great flavor and the tacos were just the right size. Service was friendly and fast. I can see why this place is highly rated, looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
