We came in on a particularly snowy Syracuse day. Hunger eating away at us. When I walked in , I immediately locked eyes with the tres leches. "What is that?" I inquired. I knew I had to have it. It was always the plan to get the chicken birria burrito, but this tres leches hit me like they say love does; when you stop looking for it. Let's get into the review. Tres Leches: 11/10. We got the last strawberry tres leches. It was a hefty $11, but BOY WAS IT WORTH IT!!! Words can't describe how heavenly this was. If you need a dessert, get this. Chicken birria burrito 8/10 The consume carried, but the burrito had a nice crunchy outside that really added to the experience. The shredded meat was yumf in taste and texture. Chicken birria tacos 9/10 Much better than the burrito. Corn tortillas were crunchy, and the consume, again, was a great addition read more

Absolutely delicious! The best Mexican food in CNY! We're from Southern California and it tasted like back home. Cannot recommend enough.

First time to the brick and mortar. They have a great interior and lots of space to sit and eat if you choose. Service was prompt and friendly. Lots of menu options and a good price on the tacos. read more

We tried the beef and chicken tacos from the birria quesa tacos food truck and they were delicious, the perfect texture and full of flavor. We also tried the pineapple cucumber refresher and strawberry watermelon refresher which were both perfect for a hot day, flavorful but not too overly sweet. Staff was helpful and food was ready quickly! read more

Birria Quesa Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Syracuse, New York

On a random Thursday night we walked in assuming it'd be a quick grab n' go meal. We very quickly saw that was not the case as a stream of customers went in & out of the front doors every few minutes. We knew it'd be a bit of a wait for our order to be ready and given the delicious smells coming from the kitchen, we decided to take a seat in their dining area and get comfortable. The wait was more than worth it as we scarfed down our meals that were packed with flavor. The agua fresca was the perfect, refreshing drink to pair with our meal. And of course, no good meal skips dessert. Despite our full stomachs, we made room to split a slice of tres leches that reminded me of Mexican desserts back home in LA. Our cravings were more than satiated. read more

I was in the area and came across this restaurant. The food hand down delicious. We had tacos, quessadillas and tres leches. The birria,sauce is so good. The tortilla for the tacos homemade. The service is excellent, nice family owned business. The owner Candy is so nice and her daughter as well. The location is easy to find with street parking outside. They have music playing, but not too loud. If you are in the area check out this place. A+ read more

I came on a weeknight. Service was a little slow and they seemed to be out of several things, but could have just been there on an off night. My visit wasn't too long after they relocated so they totally could have still been getting settled. I wouldn't particularly mind having to wait again (I'd just plan on it possibly taking time) because the food is made with a lot of love and flavor and is fantastic. Portions are huge. I ordered too much food and had leftovers. I wasn't expecting the heaping portions. Last minute I decided on the shrimp birria fries, and those were BANGING. Loaded with toppings. The shrimp were so plump and perfectly seasoned. The shrimp birria tacos were good too. Rice pudding was the only dessert they had in the case at the time but it was phenomenal. Very creamy and rich with the perfect amount of spicy cinnamon. Good amount of seating if you want to eat in. Great place to grab good food. I'll come back when I want an indulgence. read more

Holy seasoning! I finally found GOOD Mexican food in Syracuse! That rich flavor of the birria is perfection. You can tell it is a family recipe!!! They make their own drinks, corn tortillas, salsa,.... You get the picture. The place is cute with comfy seating and plenty of free parking. Staff and owner are so welcoming and kind. This will be my go to comfort food in Syracuse. read more

Love the chicken birria tacos and loaded fries. Always piping hot when I get it. Staff is always polite over the phone or in person.

Holy cow, I moved here 7 months ago from Southern California and have been craving Mexican like crazy. Came here on a whim, and I'm blown away. 10/10 food, 10/10 for being open late on weekends. I actually can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! read more

Really amazing Birria tacos! I have never been to the actual store but I was able to try their tacos at the taste of SYR. The line was so long and rightfully so because their food is great. The tacos were filled with meat, the consume sauce was amazing and they provide limes for a fresh squeeze. Definitely would love to check out the actual store and try some other menu items! read more

It's been on my radar for awhile and finally made it this weekend (Oct 2024). I had the birria tacos; one beef and one chicken. They were outstanding and may be the best birria I've ever eaten. A simple interior that is a counter to order with a countertop and barstools facing the street. There is also a sizable event/dining room that were offered to us for eating but we decided to stay in the window and watch the day pass by while pigging out. I'll be back here again hopefully soon. If you love birria then don't hesitate and get some!!! read more

Super impressed with this place. First of all, kudos to the owner on hours of operation. We are desperately in need of late night spots on Fri/Sat and general Sunday operation. Also, took a chance and ordered delivery....Food arrived in perfect condition! The tacos were delicious. Probably the best birria I've had. Packed full of flavor and not skimpy at all. Also love that they weren't soggy as I feel like a lot of places struggle to find that balance with birria. The consume was delicious and perfect consistency as well. You def get your money's worth. My fav was the shrimp. I'll def be ordering from here again. read more

Finally! I have been wanting to try the birria from this place for a long time! It was worth the wait! They opened a new location very close by so it's time. Despite the long wait they arrived hot, crisp and they were so big! They were so delicious! The beef super flavorful. Lots of beef and cheese! Prices were very reasonable considering how much food was there. Will definitely be back probably for pickup instead of delivery. It's a cute location with a small parking lot. read more

Delicious authentic food! Quick and friendly service. Definitely give it a try! Close to the oncenter too.

Food is great! Loved the beef birria tacos. Everything tasted so fresh. Was looking for a birria spot in syracuse for so long. A bit pricey but worth the try. read more

These were absolutely delicious. I had a mix of the beef and chicken tacos, both were excellent. They come with 3 different sauces. A robust red sauce, a lighter red sauce with overtones of cilantro, and a spicier green sauce. All were delicious, though I was longing for a green sauce with a little more heat. The service was great. They were a bit backed up when I got there and they offered me a free drink while I was waiting. The Syracuse test kitchen was clean and neat, but the atmosphere was quite nondescript. They were playing some indigenous music. This is real food with a home cooked character. Nothing like the fast food chains. I was delighted and look forward to sampling the rest of their menu. Highly recommended. read more

Hands downs the best tasting birria tacos in Syracuse. I bought the 5 for $25 bundle and 100% worth the price. The tacos are big enough to where you get full after two and they are generous with the meat. The flavor is impeccable and I love the crunchiness of the tortilla. The consume and salsa are tasty and add to the level of flavor. I was a little scared to try the horchata because I have not had good horchata in Syracuse but this exceeded my expectations. Food is outstanding and reasonably priced. read more

This isn't the most appetizing photo because I already ate one but we tried Birria queso tacos for the first time and they were delicious. We ordered from here once before and they canceled on us after the order said it was on its way, so that was a little disappointing but we decided to give them another shot. The tacos were big and filling for the price. I was impressed at how crispy they were for sitting in a takeout box and how well the tortillas held up. We'll definitely order again. read more

Birria I've got a bone to pick with you. You got me hooked on your flan (which is some of the best I have ever had) and it always runs out! I would eat it every day if I could so I BEG you please make more! read more

This place was so good! Don't let looks deceive you. Absolutely the best beef birria I've had

SYRACUSE! THESE ARE THE BEST BIRRIA TACOS YOU WILL EVER EAT! HANDS DOWN 10/10! 5 STARS! What started as a sweet woman sharing her fathers family birria recipe has turned into the hottest taco crave in Central NY! The flavor is absolutely amazing and has you craving more after every bite. Almost every person I've seen eat them for the first time either have no words or the only thing they can say is, "OH MY GOD!" Over and over again. These babies speak for themselves. DO NOT SLEEP ON THESE! They have beef or chicken tacos available as singles or in packs of 5. They also offer quesadillas. The tortillas are homemade! Did you see what I just said? FROM SCRATH HOMEMADE TORTILLAS!!! The sauces are also homemade and to die for. I cannot rave enough about the flavor of these tacos. There is usually a bit of a wait but 100% worth it. I promise. They're currently operating out of the Salt City Test Kitchen in Syracuse NY. The best way to get in on the deliciousness is to follow their social media pages on Facebook or Instagram and keep an eye out for when they're selling!!! They ALWAYS sell out so get there early, call if they tell you to call. Just don't wait on it cause you will regret it. read more

Authentic whole food birria tacos. Everything is homemade and fresh to order. The meat is incredible! Never a bad experience!

OMG this place was amazing!! If you're in the Syracuse area I would highly recommend going here. Everything is homemade and totally authentic. The owner was friendly and helpful. The building is unassuming from the outside but don't let that fool you, the food on the inside is top shelf. I can't say enough about the place. read more
