" I’ve been craving authentic birria tacos and my search led me to Tacos de Birria El Chinito Jr. Boy, was it worth it! The tacos were bursting with flavor, perfectly spiced and the consomé was a delightful accompaniment. The atmosphere is cozy, though a bit loud due to the music. Overall, I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for great birria! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tacos de Birria El Chinito Jr, and it was an experience! The birria tacos are authentic Tijuana style with a juicy filling and a side of flavorful consomé that made all the difference. The staff were friendly and welcoming, although they could improve on the speed of service; we waited a bit longer than expected due to a busy lunch hour. The atmosphere is lively, and it feels like being in a neighborhood taco joint, which I adore. If you're looking for authenticity, this is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a tad overrated in my opinion. I expected more given the reputation. The birria was good but not something I'd rave about. The service was decent, but we waited a while for our food which left us feeling frustrated. The atmosphere was busy but somewhat chaotic. Might consider giving it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit and I can confidently say I would return! While we had to wait a bit for a table, the staff was friendly and the birria did not disappoint. Authenticity is their forte here, and the consomé had that perfect balance of spice and flavor. Hoping to try their other menu items soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos here are definitely worth the price! The flavors remind me of street food in Tijuana. However, remember it’s cash only, which I didn’t know until I got there. The interior decor is simple but welcoming, making it a good spot for casual dining. Efficient yet warm service made my meal enjoyable. Overall, a lovely spot for birria lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lively atmosphere with very friendly service! The tacos de birria were delicious, as promised. However, I did find the parking a bit of a hassle and we had to wait for open spots around the block. Overall a good experience that I would repeat but maybe not on a busy weekend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting for the first time was a delightful experience. The birria tacos were authentic and tasted fresh, but I found the service a little slower than I expected. The atmosphere felt like a family-run place, which I appreciated. Would definitely return but I hope the service improves next time! " (*Curated Review*)
