What to Order

The birria ramen is something unique and highly recommended. Quesabirria tacos (3) give you a solid sampling of what they do well. If you’re hungry, the Anejo burrito or a loaded papas platter won’t disappoint. For dessert, go with the Cajeta churro or the tres leches. Coffee or agua fresca helps balance the richness.

Atmosphere & Vibe

Casual but lively, very much a neighborhood favorite. The staff is friendly, there’s buzz from early lunch through dinner, especially on weekends. The décor is functional, food-centered, and the vibe is welcoming and warm. It’s not upscale — it’s about flavor, authenticity, and good service.

Price Range

Most items like street tacos, burritos, or tortas fall between $10-$20 USD. Specialty items like birria ramen are around $20-$22. Sides and desserts are more affordable. Weekend brunch combos run in the same range.

Writer’s Tip

If you can, visit during off-peak times to avoid wait, especially on weekend brunch. Order something with the birria consomé on the side so you can dip or pour — it elevates many items like tacos or quesadillas. And always save room for dessert.
