Customer Review Summary
The birria tacos and birria torta emerge as the clear draw, with reviewers repeatedly praising tender beef, a rich dipping sauce, and the birria consommé, alongside strong marks for lengua, cheek, and asada. Close behind, the salsa and toppings bar draws consistent praise for its variety of radishes, jalapeños, and salsa options, and several single out the charros soup, tamales, and strawberry tres leches. Margaritas and the Mexican candy shots also get individual mentions. The recurring complaint centers on the chips and queso: multiple reviewers describe the chips as thick, unsalted or overly salty, and possibly store bought, with the queso called clumpy and bland, and one notes chips cost extra. Refried beans draw complaints from more than one reviewer as bland or gross, and one visit found the tamales dry and underseasoned overall. Despite this, most describe the tacos themselves as well done, and several say they plan to return.

“Went here for the first time and I highly recommend! We will certainly be repeat customers! The food is authentic and there are so many salsa options! As someone who ho loves all things spicy and salsa their salsa bar is great! The staff were so friendly and kind also!”

“We will definitely be back! The tacos & margs were so good and the strawberry tres leches was amazing!”

“It’s always disappointing when you’ve been looking forward to Mexican food all day, and then it just doesn’t deliver. We had been playing pickleball in Clay and searched for birria nearby, and this place was the first result. I’ll start with the positive: the Mexican candy shots were delicious. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of the visit. Everything else was just lacking flavor and seasoning. The refried beans were awful, the queso was bland, and the chips were thick and completely unsalted. I ordered the steak tacos with the birria consommé, and I ended up adding a ton of salt and covering everything in salsa verde just to make it enjoyable. My friend ordered the tamales, and they were dry, bland, and just as disappointing. If you’re only stopping in for drinks, it might be worth a visit. But based on our experience, I can’t recommend the food. We had spent about $50, were absolutely starving after hours of pickleball, so we ate it anyway—but it was definitely not the meal we’d been hoping for.”

“Yikes! Let’s start with the chips, some of the worst chips I have ever had, the queso was a weird clumpy mess like it wasn’t melted all the way. The quesadilla was ok, but the refried beans, were gross. Like they were so bad I made every …”
