" I’ve been on the hunt for authentic Mexican birria and finally struck gold! At Birrieria La Loteria, the flavors were spot-on, reminding me of the dishes back home. The quesabirria was oozing with cheese and the rich consome was perfect for dipping. Watching the staff made me feel like they truly love what they are doing. Even though it’s a food truck without a proper restaurant feel, the food certainly makes up for it. I will be coming back without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" Discovered another gem! Loving the birria tacos from this truck. They are tasty and made with an adequate amount of meat. I particularly enjoyed their consome – so rich and tasty! The service was responsive and delivered quickly. Unfortunately, my only complaint would be the limited seating available for guests. It would be great if they could find a way to expand that area. I still rate this highly for the flavors and service! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was blown away by the quality of the birria at Birrieria La Loteria! The flavors were bold, and everything tasted fresh. I enjoyed the quesabirria tacos a lot, they were cheesy, rich, and the meat was perfectly tender. The service was friendly, even though they were busy – it felt like a family-run operation. A negative note would be the concert-like atmosphere with loud music that can be distracting. However, I’ll be back for that outstanding food! " (*Curated Review*)
