" Each time I come to 'El Güero', I am reminded of the fantastic flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine. The goat birria was juicy, and the accompanying consome was delightful. A bit cramped inside, yes, but that just means it’s a beloved spot for many! I will keep coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered two birria tacos and was delighted with the flavor, though the portion was quite small for the price. I found the service to be friendly but a bit slow. The atmosphere is very simple – not a place for a fancy dinner, but a great spot to grab a quick bite to eat. " (*Curated Review*)

" The birria here is next level. The goat is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Last time I visited was a few months ago, and it feels like every visit is better than the last. The only issue is the cramped seating; however, that’s a small price to pay for this deliciousness! Will always be a returning customer. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved the birria here! Rich in flavors and served with a side of warm handmade tortillas. The service? A bit indifferent at times, but what can you expect from a busy spot? Despite the less-than-perfect service, I'll be coming back because the birria is worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is hands down the best birria I’ve ever tasted! I’ve eaten at a lot of places, but nothing compares to the flavors here. The consome was rich, and the goat was cooked just right. My only complaint was that it took a while to get our food, but everything was fresh and hot when it arrived. Definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The birria is not only authentic but also a comforting dish. The handmade tortillas provide the perfect balance with the flavorful goat. I'm not overly picky about customer service – I came for the food. The atmosphere could definitely improve as it tends to get messy, but I’ll return nonetheless! " (*Curated Review*)

" A real hidden gem! The birria is some of the best I've had outside of Michoacán. The flavors are spot on, and they serve everything with homemade tortillas. The only downside is the limited seating, but that just means it's popular! I’ll be back soon for more. " (*Curated Review*)
