" We went to Birrieria Tepa last Saturday, and I have to say, the food was incredible. I ordered the birria tacos, and they were everything I hoped for—savory, juicy, and full of flavor. Unfortunately, we had to wait a bit longer for our food than expected, which took away from the experience slightly. Nonetheless, the friendly service and soothing environment made up for the wait. I can't wait to go back for my next fix of tasty birria! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Birrieria Tepa yielded authentic flavors that I had not found in other Mexican restaurants around the area. The birria tacos were delightful! Although the portion sizes were slightly smaller than anticipated, what I tried was delicious. The service was swift which I appreciated, but the atmosphere could use some liveliness. Would recommend it for anyone craving authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I tried Birrieria Tepa last weekend and it was a lovely outing. The birria de chivo was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with their homemade tortillas. However, the service was a bit slow even though the restaurant wasn't busy. We also tried the shrimp diablo, and while it tasted good, I found myself wishing it had a bit more seasoning. Overall, a good experience and I would like to give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the most amazing experience at Birrieria Tepa! The authentic taste of their birria reminded me of the meals cooked by my grandmother. You can tell they use quality ingredients and the flavors were on point. The service was quick and attentive, and the atmosphere was lively with a hint of music playing in the background. Everything from start to finish was spot on. I will definitely be back, and I can't wait to share this gem with my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I regret not coming to Birrieria Tepa sooner! They have mastered the art of authentic birria. This was my first time trying it, and I was blown away. Everything from the meat to the tortillas was truly amazing. I felt like I was in Mexico enjoying a home-cooked meal. However, I must admit the place was a bit loud, which distracted from the cozy feel of the dining experience. A minor detail! I can't wait to return again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my most recent visit to Birrieria Tepa, I ordered the birria quesadilla and was not let down. The cheese melted beautifully with the flavorful birria meat. However, the atmosphere felt a bit off; there was loud music, which made it hard to hold a conversation. Also, we noticed our waiter was not very attentive, which dampened our experience a little. Despite these issues, I still enjoyed the food overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lover of authentic Mexican cuisine, I've tried many places and Birrieria Tepa has impressed me significantly. The birria was tender and bursting with flavor, and the homemade tortillas were a delight. The environment was quaint yet lively, with a nice decor that really reflected Mexican culture. On top of that, the staff was friendly and very welcoming. My only critique would be the prices; while the food was great, I felt the portion sizes could be a bit larger for the cost. Still, I plan on coming back, especially for their special birria tacos! " (*Curated Review*)
