Stopped in to try the birria after I saw a recommendation on social media. 100% recommend this little place. We had goat and beef quesabirria, and they were loaded with meat and cheese and tasted amazing!! We also had pork carnitas, and let me tell you I could eat a truckload of theirs. There is so much flavor and so tender. Service was super friendly, and our food came out quickly. I will definitely go back over and over. They also have a drive thru!

Ok, so after reading some of the bad reviews, I'm a little concerned of people actually saying the food here tasted like dog meat, and made me ask the question how do they know what dog meat taste like Anywa, this is Birria and it's from goats or sheep meat, or cow, and if you've never had this kind of food, don't ask for goat meat. I have and let me tell you that not all places can cook this kind of meat without the strong smell or taste. This place pases my judgment and picky taste buds of a Mexican girl who grew up eating authentic Mexican food. This place food is amazingly close to what food in Mexico actually tastes like there was 3 of us and had full meals with a drink, very generous amount of meat, plenty of tortillas, more if requested. The total cost was well under what I would have paid for a regular meal at a high-end restaurant, and you can also add empanadas for dessert I would totally recommend it as a restaurant that feels like home away from home.

You have to go here. This was probably some of the best food I've had in OKC in the past few days. It's a tiny place with huge flavor and for a steal of a price. The quesabirria tacos were amazing (especially after adding some of the cilantro, onions, and lime juice). The meat was perfect and washing it down with a great horchata was the cherry on top!
