We slow-cook our birria until it's fall-apart tender, fold it into crispy tortillas, and ladle out rich, flavorful consommé on the side. Woodlawn neighbors keep coming back for the generous portions, the fresh fixings, and the fiery, soulful flavors that make us a true hidden gem.

First time ordering. I didn't get a chance to snap a pic before digging in. But the Pizza Birria was so good not to mention the consomme was so flavorful. The best I've had yet. Loved all the side fixings it came with. And honestly this was a very good quality Pizza Birria for a reasonable price compared to many other restaurants that charge way more and iits sometimes a miss. Overall, I will be trying them out again in the near future.

This was my first time ordering and it was absolutely delicious. The Pizza Birria was huge, flavorful and delicious. The Machete was big as well. I can't believe my son actually finished the whole thing in one sitting. Tres leche was good. Not soggy. Fresco de horchata was ok. Could definitely taste the cinnamon. I will definitely order from here again as there are some other items I would like to try.
