Thank you, yelp! My son and I followed your star rating straight to El Calamar. Yes, drove right by it because the sign was under repair but that didn't slow business as it was a revolving door of customers. Just couldn't be more authentic and the cost:portion was great! You could literally share an entre with two. The birria beef was very tender and flavorful. My son's street tacos and quesadilla, rice and beans very good as well. It just had a family like service and homecooked quality...that's just the best I can say

Very good delicious affordable food a real homemade style place.the staff is very friendly.the place is very small and the staff I think only speak Spanish but don't let that discourage you.the food is worth it.i like their specialty is called( bistek en salsa de molcajete.)it comes with beans and rice and hand made tortillas.its a bit spicy but it is absolutely the best. Support small business.

Food is still amazing. The owner is still at it working. Very nice person. I moved away and he still remembered me 4-5 years later when I visited.

This review is based only on their birria de chivo. I did not try anything else.Had the craving for birria recently, but our usual place was not answering their phone. They tend to close a bit earlier than their stated hours, which is understandable during covid.Found this place listed, had enough good reviews, so we thought we'd take a chance. So glad we did. Ordered the birria in consume, homemade tortillas, side of beans, and all the extras (lime, onions & cilantro, salsa).The birria has so much dept and flavor, the homemade tortillas were excellent, the beans a little plain, but fine, and their red salsa was hot and smokey. After 2 of us getting 3 fully packed tacos (and a bit more) out of the order, I couldn't stop drinking that consume. Woman that worked there was very nice and helpful, despite a bit of a language barrier. I believe our go to birria place has just been replaced!
