" I was recently in Albuquerque and decided to try Torres Birria based on the rave reviews I kept hearing. The moment I took a bite of their birria tacos, I knew I made the right choice. They were unbelievably delicious! Tender meat, rich flavors, and the consomme on the side took it over the top. The service was just as good—everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The only critique I have is the atmosphere could use some improvements. Despite that, it's still worth every bit of your time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard about Torres Birria & Taco Shop and decided to give it a shot during my visit to Albuquerque. The hype is real! The birria tacos were phenomenal—rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. The staff was friendly and welcoming which made the experience even better. Though the atmosphere could use a touch of warmth—it's very straightforward—everything else was spot-on. I recommend everyone who loves authentic Mexican food to stop by. I’ve already marked it on my list to visit next time I’m in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh wow, we stumbled upon this hidden gem while visiting Albuquerque. The tacos were incredible—so much flavor and very generous portions! The qesa birria was definitely my favorite, with the cheese oozing out perfectly. The atmosphere was very laid-back which made us feel right at home. The only downside was a bit of a wait during lunchtime, but honestly, it was worth every minute. Plus, the staff were so friendly and apologized for the wait. Can't rave enough about this place—we'll be back before the end of our trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" I first visited Torres Birria & Taco Shop on a whim and was blown away! The birria tacos I had were packed with flavor—definitely one of the best I've had, delightfully tender and perfectly spiced. The staff were welcoming and attentive. A cozy spot with simple decor but clean. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this spot if you're in need of some great Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me just say, Torres Birria has completely changed my perception of what birria can be! From the moment I walked into the shop, I was surrounded by the enticing smells wafting from the kitchen. I ordered the birria ramen and was blown away by the fusion of flavors—who knew birria would complement noodles so well? The generous amount of meat and broth was both hearty and so satisfying. The staff was friendly and made sure we were taken care of throughout our meal. One thing to note is that the dining area feels a bit cramped, but it didn’t take away from the meal at all. I’ll be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for those craving comfort food! I was excited to finally try authentic birria tacos. I got mine with a side of rice and beans, and everything was savory and filling. I loved how fresh the ingredients tasted. The service was prompt, and the staff showed us a lot of warmth. The only drawback was the seating was a bit tight, but I believe it just adds to the cozy experience. I will surely return to try their other specialties! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Torres Birria & Taco Shop after hearing so many raving reviews, and I must say, everything was delicious. However, I did feel that the atmosphere lacked a little charm. The decor was quite simple, but it was very clean. The service was quick, and the staff was polite, creating a pleasant experience overall. The birria ramen was something I had never tried before; it’s a unique twist and surprisingly tasty! They'll definitely see us again. " (*Curated Review*)
