Stopped in for lunch and the place is a vibe. Sat at the bar because I was solo and the waiter/bartender (Luciano) told me all I need to know about the menu and deals. The Taco Burger was amazing and everything else was fresh. Definitely going to return at night because I know the atmosphere will be great. read more

I had the best chicken quesadillas ever last night at Birria1983. My husband really enjoyed the carne asada quesadillas as well. The food images on yelp do not do this place justice. I wish I had taken some on my own. This is a very convenient location, especially if you are headed to a soccer game at Inter&Co Stadium or an event at the KIA center. The staff were friendly and fast enough so we could get to the game on time, but not too fast to make us feel rushed. If it's cold (yes...that does happen in Florida) ask for a table away from the windows to stay more warm. Enjoy their hospitality....it's so worth it! read more

I saw this cute spot that took over graffiti junction. We did go before they were able to receive their liquor license. The food was definitely an upgrade from gringos locos. The service was a bit slow but the food was pretty decent and does the trick for a late evening on a Sunday. The portion size was Al's pretty big. read more

Just opened today off of Church Street, and this Mexican bar + grill is gorgeous and delicious. You can find all of the classics with a ton of options for tacos, birria ramen, quesadillas, burritos, and of course...tacos! The most notable is their Shareable Menu with a 12-tortilla taco board & 14 inch Mexican pizza. As for the bar -- they are still waiting on their liquor license hence the Soft Opening!! So have some patience, grand opening AND alcohol coming soon 54 west church Suite 141 Orlando, Florida read more

Beautiful day: we are outside. I recommend the mushroom tacos. Yummy. Served with black beans and rice. Friend ordered a Burris ramen. He said it was too intense. But ate it anyway It Faces the stairs and front if 55W. With nice palms and plants. We had wine. Not a huge wine list. I recommend though. read more

While at face looks as a full nice Mexican restaurant conveniently located in the heart of downtown Orlando, Church street it also has a few staples of the Chilean cuisine under a second formal Menu , great pisco sour and piscola to star, very good sopaipillas con pebre to go with drinks , we had Empanadas de queso frita ( good size and cheese taste ) and Empanadas de pino , We ordered Chacarero y Churrasco Italiano , both in excellent bread , large size , generous serving of sliced meats and the corresponding condiments that give the name to the sandwich ( including very nice aji verde ) . Attentive service from Gabriel, a vinamarino , that knows well the good Chilean food and brought as some ice cold Toro Bayos to go along the sandwiches . If you are itching for Chilean flavors while in Orlando now you have an option ! read more

We were here right when it opened on a Saturday so we were seated quickly. I got the birria tacos with beans and rice. The beans and rice were flavorful. 10/10. The birria tacos were good but not the best I've had. The meat was a tiny bit dry but you get consomé on the side. I would give it a 6/10. I still enjoyed the meal. We also got chips and salsa on the side. The salsa came in a little plant pot which I thought was cute. Our server was pretty young. He took a while to check on us. I felt like we were waiting for a while to get the check to get out of there. He seemed like he didn't really care to be there which I understand because he seemed so young and probably wanted to not work but he kind of killed the vibe of us wanting to be there. read more

This is place is right next to the Suntrust garage and so made for a convenient meal before going to the Kia Center for a concert. Came on a Friday night and it was quite empty. There was indoor and outdoor seating and the decor inside was cute. Worried that maybe the place wasn't good due to its lack of clientele but the staff was ethnic so that gave us some hope. The prices are a little high but maybe that's just what downtown is like. They bring you chips and salsa to start with the salsa coming in a little flowerpot-like container which was cute. We ordered the birria rice bowl by accident, meaning to order the birria bowl (really unfortunate that the names are so similar and right next to each other on the menu). The rice bowl is literally just rice, birria and a LOT of queso. Like a soup almost. The birria isn't bad but I'm sure I've had better. The queso was very creamy/cheesy but almost too much so. As I said, we intended to order the bowl which comes with corn, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes and beans so we asked if we could get those added on. They told us that there's a $2 price difference between the rice bowl and the bowl that we'd have to pay, to which we agreed. They brought out the extra toppings and after we started adding it into our pre-existing bowl, told us that we have to pay for the extras as a side instead. This meant that instead of an extra $2, we paid $10. Of course, it was our fault for initially ordering the wrong item but we really would've appreciated if we were told how much the actual upcharge was before we were given it as thats 5x the amount we agreed to. Flavor-wise, the bowl with the toppings was definitely better and much needed to balance out the soup of queso they give in the original rice bowl. The portion was decently large, my girlfriend and I shared the one bowl and were able to still have enough for leftovers after eating enough to be quite full.

Last night i ordered From this establishment at 8:48 pm (order is shown below), i was already skeptical about the pricing because its seems outrageous for just 2 tacos and some churros! In addition to that, the service was awful, my order was quoted to be ready at 9:03. I didn't receive my order until 5 after 10:00. I've asked multiple times for when i would get my food only to be told "idk" or "oh it's ready!!, we're just packing it now" but when i asked again at 9:50 i was told "oh they just started preparing it" WHAT!?!? Nothing was done to rectify the situation, and the portion of rice and beans was laughable at best. Other than that, the tacos were good if that counts for something‍ read more

Amazing hand painted walls with beautiful decor around. The service was excellent, and we were seated right away. The food is very good as well, I've had chimichangas before, and this one came with a twist. Usually, other restaurants pour the sauce on top. Here, they give you the sauce in tin cups so you can pour as much as you want. They do not have their liquor license yet. Therefore, they only offer non alcoholic drinks. You are right on Church St. which have plenty of places for a drink if that is what you are looking for. Prices are reasonable, I would come come to try other menu items . read more

Wow what a place. It's a nice Latin restaurant. Such a pretty spot on church street. My friend and I decided to go and we were greeted right away. Our server was nice and answered any questions we had. They are mostly know for their birria tacos but I tried their shrimp tacos and their side salad. Their salad is so fresh. It has guacamole, tomato, onion, and lettuce. The shrimp tacos were five dollars each, and it had cilantro with onion. It was also very flavorful. I would recommend this spot as a nice place to hang out or celebrate a birthday. read more

For only being 3 days into their opening, the food was pretty flavorful. I did the carne asada quesatacos. You get to pick between Mexican rice or cilantro lime and then Black beans or refried beans. I chose Mexican rice and refried. They were actually really good. They provide homemade chips and salsa, we did ask for more chips and were not charged for them so hopefully that doesn't become a thing like most downtown Orlando taco places. The seating service was a little chaotic, even though there were plenty of tables available there was a delay on where to seat us, however table service was phenomenal. She was friendly, helpful and attentive to our needs. The decor inside will definitely be an Instagramable photo opp. We came around 11:30am and by noon the place was poppin'. read more

Juan was great. Food was fantastic. Not a long wait at all. I would for sure come again.

A nice spot for a quick bite, especially before events downtown. Enjoyed the mushroom tacos

My 2nd time here. Great place to unwind and have lunch. I ordered their Sopa Azteca. My waitress's name is Francisca. Was greeted warmly, superb customer service as well! The cleanliness of the restaurant was superb, the staff were very attentive, Francisca was very knowledgeable of the menu as well! The soup was delicious, flavorful, with the right amount of spice and herbs! I highly recommend this dish and for anyone to come eat here! read more

I have had Birria1983 a few times now. I love the Birria quesadilla and burrito. I do wish the tortilla was a little thicker, because the Birria has so much flavor that it seeps through the tortilla and can get somewhat soggy. The taste is fantastic, it just gets pretty messy. Service is always quick and the place is great for a downtown meal or late night eats. read more

Came here before a concert for some drinks and a shared appetizer - it was 2 hours before doors, so not very busy, but fully staffed. Walked in and was not acknowledged by anyone, even the girl who seemed to be serving as host (although she was wiping and half-assed setting tables). After 10 mins, she finally had a clean table and just waved us over and put menus down without saying a word. I was confused because all I got was a food menu and mocktail list. My partner got the bar menu and a different food menu (so total 4 different menus for our table). After another 5 mins, our server came over and asked if we'd been helped, no greeting, nothing. We gestured to our empty table (no plates, silverware, water cups, like other tables had) and told him no. He came back with a bottle of water and then took our orders. Another five mins, he came back with glasses for our water. Another five mins, he came back with chips, salsa, and our queso we ordered. Five minutes later, he got app plates and cutlery. We finished the chips and dips after about 15-20 mins and he came back and asked if we wanted more chips. I said sure and asked him to check on my margarita (there were 3 rather chatty people working the bar, so no excuse for a place that seats 70ish people max). We got a second basket of chips and were told my drink would be out any second. We watched another table complain (to a lady not in any distinguishable uniform like the rest of the staff) that they had finished their appetizer and food and still not gotten their drinks. She went to the bar and they had drinks in under 5 mins. We thought about doing the same but the lady disappeared into the back. Two tables of 3 and 4 that were seated after us got their drinks and we were still waiting, so I decided to put a clock on it and say that if I didn't have my drink by 6:02pm (I ordered it at 5:02pm), I would ask them to cancel it. After all, doors open at 6pm and the clouds threatened heavy rains that I didn't want to be caught in. It took a few minutes to be able to flag down our waiter and cancel the drink, but they two tables next to us that got entrees and drinks or drinks and paid before we were even brought our check. SO disappointing. I would rate zero stars if I could. For a business in an area that is only kept alive by concert-goers, you would think they could operate more efficiently. read more

My wife and I decided to have a night on the town in Downtown Orlando, so we parked our car and headed down the world's famous Church Street Orlando. We noticed a few places to try but the one restaurant that caught our eye was Birria 1983 Mexican Bar & Grill. They are located in the heart of Church Street facing the street in a prime location, the bright colors of the outside is what drew us in and once inside the restaurant the decor was full of welcoming bright colors and lots of amazing looking artwork adorned the walls. We were greeted by Enrique who seated us at our table and took our order. We first ordered some chips with salsa and queso that tasted like a tasty grilled cheese sandwich it was quite delicious. My wife ordered a chicken quesadilla and I ordered a quesadilla called Birria. The Birria quesadilla was so delicious the meat was very tender and full of flavor its slightly spicy but not too hot well cooked. My wife had the chicken quesadilla which was really good as well both of our quesadillas were the best quesadillas we have ever eaten and we have eaten a lot of quesadillas over our lives. We also had dessert which was a tres leches cake which had to be the best Tres Leche I have ever eaten and my wife said the Tres Leches was better than her late step mother's which is saying something it was that damn good. The presentation of the food was top notch and the customer service was amazing Enrique was a great server. Lastly Thomas who was the chef and son of the owner came out to see how everything was which I thought was very lovely, he also told a little about himself which made our outing little more personal which was lovely as well. So if you are looking for a great Mexican Restaurant which has amazing food, great atmosphere, amazing customer service and some of the best Mexican food you will ever eat than check out Birria1983 Mexican Bar & Grill located in the heart of Church Street Orlando in Orlando, FL. read more

Visiting from LA here and I gotta say Birria did not disappoint! Bomb micheladas and delicious birria!

I came here afterwork on a Friday. I had heard good things about the birria here so I decided to try it out. When I got here it was pretty empty and the food came out quick. I got the Quesa Birria meal which comes with 3 tacos and rice and beans for $22. The Birria was on point no problems, no complaints. I have had good Birria and bad Birria and this was def top notch and on point. The rice and beans were very small portion, rice was kind of hard and beans had no flavor. I'm not trippin because it's the rice and beans so it's whatever but I would've just got the tacos which would've came out cheaper if I knew the sides were so small and not that great. I would definitely return for the tacos only and when they have the bar open. They are very new so there is no liquor here yet. Overall good experience, Birria authentic and on point and a must try. The service was great. I forgot my box with my leftovers at the table and my waitress ran out and caught me before I left. I would've cried if I didn't have my leftovers when I got home. Great spot and I will definitely be back. I can see this place being very busy soon when the bar opens and with these great tacos. read more

To start, the slowest service. Then I saw my $23 burrito was no bigger then the palm of my hand. I ordered two orders of tostones (asked the size of the order & was told 3 tostones per order) I was asked if it was okay for both orders to be packaged together only to receive 4 total tostones ($8 for not even half a banana lol). My order came out to be $85 for two 5" burritos (see photos) a quesadilla & 4 pieces of tostones (supposedly 2 orders). My burrito also came with pico after specifying only lettuce. Huge disappointment read more

Sorry- not sorry. The worst customer service I have experienced in quite a while. Server ignored us for a good 10 minutes and then proceeded to wait on a table that came in after us. When I did flag him down, he acted like he was doing us a favor by taking our order. If it wasn't raining and we weren't heading to the Kia Center, I would have walked out. The food was ok, a bit over priced. Nothing to go out of my way to experience again. When the longest time the server stands at your table is to see how much of a tip he's getting, your restaurant has a customer service problem. Won't be back. read more

I love me some Birria tacos and Birria quesadillas.

So far I've only had the quesadilla Birria tacos but I will be making my way through the menu read more

*** To go order*** I found this place on UberEats. I tried the quesadilla and quesataco. The quesadilla was made with care that is for sure! It was neat and the cheese was very tasty and fresh. It was a little greasy but with a side of consommé it made it taste great. The taco wasn't bad at all. With a lime it really made it taste great the food was a little greasy but I didn't try it out to watch calories. I would say for what I got it was a little expensive but I still would try this place again. read more

Pretty tasty tacos! It's in a very unassuming location, but with Covid, businesses being run this way makes sense. Dropped a star because of how long it took to prepare my order, but I totally get the process. Food was full of flavor, the consome was like peak deliciousness, but the winner of this whole meal was strangely the rice. This was some of the best Spanish rice I've ever had. 10 stars alone for that. With the three birria tacos, rice, and a side of sour cream, spent less than $14. read more

The worst customer service i've ever experienced! The food was good, but our waiter was horrible. First of all me and my friend came in at about 9pm and we wanted to get some margaritas that were advertised at the front. The waiter however said that the bartender left and he was the only one working. When we asked him to make margaritas he said he is not allowed to because he is underaged. The fact that an underaged guy was the only one working (on a tuesday as well) was the first red flag... We waited FOREVER for him to even come up to us to offer water (even though it was us and one more table sitting at the restaurant). We kept calling our waiter up and he was actually just ignoring us. Later, when he brought out the food (we got birria tacos), he spilled the consomé all over the table!!! And the worst part was that he didn't even clean it up. We waited and waited and he just left and proceeded with doing other things. So me and my friend literally had to use napkins to clean up the mess that HE MADE ourselves!!! At about 9:40pm some other people came in to eat and the waiter told them that the restaurant was closed. (Even though it says they close at 11pm). The whole time it felt like he wanted us to hurry up with our meal and leave, because he kept coming up to us while we were eating. And at the end, when we ordered dessert, he didn't even take away our plates or the HUGE pile of napkins that were covered in consomé (that we used to clean up his mess). So we had to clean our table up ourselves and set the mess aside because we didn't want to eat our dessert like pigs!!! I've never experienced such lack of care for customers, and I do not recommend coming here for anyone, unless the management takes care of this and starts training their employees... read more

Despite the fact that birria is so trendy, it is one of our favorite foods because when it is done right, it is SO good. Birria1983 did not disappoint! The restaurant offered birria in so many different formats, and each option was pure deliciousness. We tried the Birria Ramen, Birria Burrito, QuesaBirria Tacos, Birria Quesadilla, and Dulce de Leche Churros. Everything was amazing, but my favorite had to be the Birria Quesadilla and the Birria Ramen. The quesadilla was so cheesy and meaty, and the consume was so rich and flavorful. The same consume was the base of the ramen, and I could indulge in that every single rainy day of my life! The churros were also really good, and they were covered in a homemade dulce de leche (caramel) sauce. They were a nice ending to our meal, and we even had some left for a late night snack. The "restaurant" is really just a warehouse-type building that houses multiple restaurants that source most of their customer base from Uber Eats, Door Dash, etc, so it is a takeout or delivery only model. The owners, however, told us that they are planning to open up a dine-in location in Downtown Orlando soon. We'll be sure to keep an eye out for that, and we can't wait to dine with them again!

The chicken quesadillas were delicious, the wait not so much. Spending 40 of my lunch really sucked.

Dip, baby, dip! Ordered the 3 birria tacos with extra cheese, added jalapeños, and an extra side of their dipping au jus. Picked up my order from the Dollins Ave Pick up point and my order was piping hot and ready to eat. Loved the dipping sauce and green salsa verde for the tacos. The rice was so outstanding with the soft texture and mild garlic flavor. The tacos were really good and very rich since the meat and the dipping sauce is on the oily side. That is not an insult, these were rich, meaty, and very filling. Will definitely order here again and look forward to trying a quesadilla or burrito. Saw on the menu they also offer birria ramen, say what?! Overall a great choice for when you need some filling tacos! read more

Saw this place on DoorDash and decided to try it. We got the birria burrito and the birria quesadilla. The burrito was great except the rice needed to be cooked a tad bit longer cause a couple grains in the burrito were hard and the birria quesadilla didn't come out like it looked in the pictures although it is packed full of flavor I wish the quesadilla it's self was pressed a bit more. Overall it was a decent spot I would probably try again in person read more

Pictured: a THIRTEEN dollar .5 cup of largely flavorless guacamole. Okay moving on, I'd title this review growing pains. The service here was great and they were putting their all into it but I definitely wouldn't go back anytime soon. My Diet Coke had a strong taste of sanitizer in it (which they thankfully replaced for me) but that's never something I love to taste. The guacamole is also just not good at all and horribly overpriced. We just stopped in for a snack before the hockey game but they definitely have a lot of growth to do before we'd come back. The service was fantastic, the ambience is super cute, but they need a lot of work on getting running efficiently. I'd rate this experience much lower if they were an established business but they have good potential to be a fun spot near the Kia center once they're really up and running. I'd suggest more clear dietary labels on the menu as well. read more

Holy hell. This place couldn't have been worse if they actively tried to. We arrived at 4:45 wanting a bite to eat before the Nate Bargatze show. There was a wait. No big deal we were happy to wait. 5:15 we sit down. No server or anything for about 15 minutes. We finally get someone's attention and he acted like she wasn't our server but would help us out and we ordered drinks and our meals. About 10 minutes later my husband received a drink, not what he ordered but we decided to roll with it and about 10 minutes later I got my drink. We finished our drinks. Still no silverware or waters or literally any sign of our server. We find someone to ask about our order. At this point we've been seated for an hour and we ordered 45 minutes ago. They said they would check in our order which was clearly never put into the computer but we never saw this person again. We wait about half an hour longer and decide that we really need to leave. We try to ask for the bill to pay for the drinks we had but the server literally turned and started talking to another table as we were asking. I have literally never had a worse experience at a restaurant. So we left. We arrived at the Kia Center just in time for the show but starving because we never ate any dinner even though we arrived at this ridiculous restaurant at 4:45. Do yourself a favor and do not go here. read more
