" I heard all the hype about this place and finally decided to give it a shot. The birria tacos were as delicious as everyone said; I would recommend getting them with the consome on the side. I also loved the fact that they have a variety of salsas to choose from, which really elevated the flavor! However, I found the seating a little cramped during peak lunch hours. Overall, I had a fantastic meal and will definitely return to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)
