We had excellent food at their booth at a Cinco de Mayo celebration. I made sure to grab their business card because we have a party that we want to do for a special occasion-- and we want them!!

This restaurant sits a step above all other Mexican restaurant in the area. The food here is delicious and the menu is unique and not at all same as the menu in a typical Mexican restaurant. The birria was flavorful. My surf and turf taco was so good, I ended up reordering more. The soup flight offers a way to try multiple soups in one sitting and the night we were there I was able to pick from four different soups. Instead of chips and salsa, the servers bring pinwheels shape chips which are extremely addictive. Servers are super nice and helpful. The dinning room is large and includes a full bar. Overall, I am very happy I ended up stopping by for dinner. Certainly will be back next time I am in town.

The food was amazing! Made it in from Oregon, so worth the drive. And the owners are so kind, I would support this small business ten times over.

I went to have brunch with my daughter and they got me with the basket of chicharrones/duritos they serve as soon as you sit down, such a cool touch. We ordered shrimp a la kora and the birria tacos, very good portions and delicious. Great service, the mom was there, she asked how everything was, we had a little conversation about the food, very down to earth, friendly and hard worker. Place was clean, we enjoyed our meal overall we'll go back for sure.

Food was delicious! Service was great! All food came out hot. I love how the birrira wasn't too oily like other Mexican restaurants.

Giving it a 2 star because it was $30 for 2 tacos and a small amount of albondigas. Flavor was there don't get me wrong. I'd pay $15 max for that soup not almost $20 Never again. At least make it a bigger portion or add more stuff to it. I never mind paying for stuff if it's worth it. In my opinion this place isn't worth it.

We love Algo Bueno. Their surf and turf tacos of birria and shrimp is GREAT! I found it on TikTok and so glad we went. The drinks! The soup flights! It's definitely a place you should go!

Had to try Algo Bueno after hearing so many rave reviews on their Birria. The surf and turf didn't disappoint and it everything that people have been saying about it. Will be back for sure for this treasure. The soup flight was another novelty I've heard about, but it didn't live up to the hype. $17 for 3 soups and they tasted watered down. The albóndigas was literally broth and 3 small meatballs - no veggies or other substance. Service was amazing and friendly. I'll be back for sure to try some other items.

Okay well mixed feelings with this one I came for the first time a month ago and it was good!!! Maybe I came in a day were they weren't busy! Today I came with my family and the food/ service was horrible we ordered veggie taco and our veggies from the taco was burnt ! We also asked for salsa and 10 mins later we were done with our food and still no salsa.

Server was awesome. The food was good. But the pricing was horrible. A party of 5 charged $37 each. Ridiculous. Gratuity of 18% charged. Then $7 additional charge for use of a credit card. Give me a break. One and down. Not coming back. I have no idea how locals in the Northgate area can afford these prices. Price gouging. Sad.
When I visited AB the waitress seemed to walk pass me over and over while waiting on people who came after me. Mind you I'm the only African American in the restaurant. Didn't really seem to friendly towards me. Besides that, the Agua Fresca was amazing! Definitely something you have totally try. I also ordered the Birria Tacos and they were okay. Could've used a bit more seasoning in the Consume. This is definitely a place to have nice cold adult beverage, but food is average at best.

Stopped here for dinner with coworkers. I had the mango agua fresca and added tajin to the rim. Super refreshing! Tried their birria tacos and surf n turf tacos. Tasty flavors and reasonable prices. Staff was accommodating for our big group. Mirachi band showed up and played great music as we enjoyed our meal! Great local spot and I will be back to try some more items on the menu!

Yes, I came here because of tik tok, lol. The place is nice and clean. We went on a Monday 5pm hardly no one, so the service was good. But I hate that we have to ask for their hot sauce when they specialize in 4-5 different sauce. It should be a given to ask your customer if they want to try any of it. I got the AB shrimp taco, and that was good. The corn tortilla has a nice crunch cheese lay on it, and that is what makes it good and different. The drinks were good. I was really looking forward to the quesabirria. But too sad this place is not the place for it. The meat has no flavor to it. I'm talking literally slowcook the meat and putting it on the corn tortilla and toss some cheese on it. There was barely any white cheese on it. I was sad, like literally no flavor at all. I think who does it for queasabirria is street vendor/truck.

This place was absolutely horrible it was hyped up way too much on Instagram. The waitresses were beyond rude and talk too much crap about customers. Sorry but I understand Spanish. The food was absolutely horrible and the margaritas were terrible. I don't recommend this place at all. Oh not to mention they couldn't even take our order right.
