Nice small cozy place, the food is good but felt like it was lacking just a bit of flavor. The beer was on the warmer side but overall a good experience. It’s probably a family owned restaurant so they only have 1 waiter which wasn’t bad when I arrived but after a while all tables were full and it was hard for one guy to keep up. 3.8 stars.

I threw the majority of the carne asada tacos away because the meat wasn’t drained. It had so much oil in the meat that the tortillas wore soggy by time I got home and dripping oil. The meat definitely lacked flavor so I added some of my own but after a few bites it tasted like a mixture of carne asada and ground beef….not only that you can always see the chunks of asada in tacos this has more of a ground beef look, taste, and flavor to the meat so I tossed it out…..seriously a waste of $15. I will never eat here again. The bag of cilantro, onions, and lemons were tossed in 1 small bag but the cilantro had so much turned green that I didn’t feel comfortable adding it the meat. Next time I will stick with El Taco Man they seem to be the only spot to season the meat, drain it, and the condiments are always fresh. I never question their quality of their food. I could have went there and spent way less. SMH lesson learned.

We moved from OK and we haven’t found a place that serves birria like this….. We drive over an hour to buy some because it’s exactly Calvillo style. Thank you

Was not a fun of their birria. Was not impressed. Didn’t come with rice nor beans. The salsa they give for the side is not the actual birria salsa they use at other places.

My parents use to love coming to eat birria here it’s so good, authentic flavor just like my parents made it & portions are pretty big for the price. Reminds me of when we use to go eat it in Jalpa Zacatecas with my dad. Brings back so many memories. Service is great too.

Feels like you walked into a cenaduría, plastic tablecloths and all! Tried their BIRRIA DE CHIVO. Tasty. The salsa is hot. I loved the tostadas caseras. First time I’ve seen that in LA. Basically grilled tortillas. No oil. No salt. All crunch. Perfect for dipping into the tasty broth in your bowl. Bring CASH ONLY.
