Found out about this place through Uber eats. When I called to do a food order I was asked hurriedly to hold on. The employee continued her conversation and the phone disconnected. I gave the benefit of the doubt that she accidentally disconnected or maybe we lost connection but upon calling back no one answered. Customer service needs massive improvement.

4th time eating at this location, and can't help noticed that is now twice that I've been served food that taste days old?? it seems they like to switch it up too serving fresh food to old food here. The beef rolled tacos I decided to have again were old with a white hard overly cooked color after spitting out and looking at it. If I can requests a full refund that will be great?

Don't come here guys. They charge Dine-in restaurant prices for fast food quality meals. ? They can't even be bothered to cook their tortillas thoroughly. ?? And it's not my first experience with them. Every time I come they're consistently mediocre. ?I truly wish that weren't the case.Parking: Good luck finding parking there's only one or two designated spaces for the entire restaurant.

Phenomenal food, I have never had anything that wasn't delicious and exactly what I ordered. The variety and flavor lean heavily towards authentic dishes all while providing customer service that is very unCalifornia (I.e thoughtful, sincere, and expeditious) and and wrapped in a beautiful shop that's always clean and inviting!

OMG best birria I've ever had!! The consumé is delicious and the salsas, WHOA! If you like spice then you'll love them! My boyfriend who loves spice says he can't even mess with them, but I endure the pain. We have had other tacos, burritos, and ramen seriously everything has always been great! Good amount of food for the price and the flavor will have you coming back. Order ahead because this place gets packed during dinner time.

If birria is in the name--and it is--that's what I'm getting. You order seafood at a seafood restaurant, steak at a steakhouse, and so on. Don't yell at me if you order shrimp at a chicken sandwich restaurant and it sucks.The birria burrito seriously delivers. It's a giant beast absolutely stuffed with extremely tender birria and some chopped onions and cilantro. There is zero filler here. It's a very good burrito on its own but I highly recommend also getting some consomé. I would say that the burrito on its own could use a tad more flavor and that's where the consomé or salsa saves the day. (By the way, you have to purchase the consomé separately.)When I have a choice of tacos or burritos, I'm almost always on Team Burrito but the quesabirria taco here is fantastic. The gooey melted cheese really puts it over the top. The salsas in the salsa bar have good heat but nothing unbearable like some places.My food was ready five minutes after ordering. There is free parking in the lot.Birria fans, this is your happy place.

I don’t write reviews but I’m making this as an exception due to multiple good qualities from the foods to customer service and top with integrity and honesty to their prices that is very rare to find in businesses nowadays.

This place has some of the best tasting authentic and traditional Mexican soups in town. Menudo, caldo de res, siete mares, pozole, birria, all delicious and well prepared. Take it to go or eat on location. Haven't tried all the other items on their menu, but if you're looking for a hearty bowl of soup try this place.
