" Every time I visit 'El Güero', the birria just gets better. I love the flavor of the consome; it's so rich. The only thing that could improve is the seating. It often gets crowded and feels a bit messy. Overall, this place is a must for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to stop by this little gem while exploring the area, and even though it was busy, the food was well worth the wait. The birria was rich and flavorful, and you could tell it was traditional Michoacán style. They also had a variety of salsas! However, I found the service a bit lacking, which was a letdown. Still, I’d recommend it to anyone craving authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high hopes for this place based on online reviews, and I must say, it met most of my expectations! The birria was delicious, and the handmade tortillas were exquisite. However, the customer service left a lot to be desired during my visit. They seemed disorganized, which detracted from the experience. Still, the food is amazing enough for a second chance! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the birria here! The first time I tried it, I was blown away by the authenticity. The flavors are rich, and the tortillas are made fresh to order. However, I was disappointed with the service during my last visit. The staff seemed overwhelmed and inattentive, which affected our experience. I hope they can work on that because the food is phenomenal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve heard great things about this place, so I had high hopes when I visited. The birria tacos were pretty good, but they didn't live up to the hype. I expected something with more distinct flavors, and there were times when the meat tasted a bit bland. The service was also mediocre at best. I might give it another try, but I wasn't blown away. " (*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*)
