Delicious food. Had four birria tacos & four quesabirrias, coffee & chocoflan to finish. Give them a chance & you will leave with the ITIS & be ready to relax. Excellent customer service & good music vibes.

The carnitas tacos are super flavourful & tender, & the birria is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic Mexican food. Also the 7$promo are such a great deal. Thank you!! Ps. Don't miss the chocoflan!! 🤤🤤

Accueil chaleureux de ce qui semble être la propriétaire, qui s'occupait à la fois du service & de la cuisine, en plus de son rôle de maman. Je l'ai trouvé très impressionnante, car en plus de tout elle a fait l'effort de parler français à sa clientèle. Nous avons pris le birria & les quesabirria & avons trouvé les portions très généreuses. Une cuisine simple & honnête, avec un bon rapport qualité-prix.
