Wow--what an incredible find. We had a friend visiting from out of town (all the way from Wenatchee by way of Texas), and decided it was worth the trek across South Seattle to Birrieria Grumpy's on Interurban Avenue in Tukwila after hearing about it from a food blogger on TikTok. It absolutely lived up to the hype. We know our birria, so expectations were high. We ordered a variety of dishes--enchiladas, a keto taco, a birria torta, bacon wrapped jalapeños, and a crunch wrap--and every single item delivered. I started with the keto taco, expecting a standard (and often disappointing) gluten-free tortilla. Instead, it was made entirely of cheese--and it was one of the most delicious things I've had in a long time. Completely unexpected and amazing. I'm especially picky about tortas, and I can honestly say this was the best Mexican torta I've ever had. Perfectly balanced, flavorful, and satisfying. Beyond the food, the experience was just as great. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and we even had the chance to meet the owner, who shared the story behind "Grumpy Gramps"--a fun and memorable touch. This place is absolutely worth the trip. Highly recommend--and we'll definitely be back. read more

Personally, this use to be the spot for quesabirra but we stopped coming as much after they switched from goat to beef. I decided to give it a try after 1-2 years or so because I woke up craving good birria. This was honestly super disappointing. We ordered the trio - which stated it comes with chicharrones (usually includes fried pork belly of some sort not just fried skin, which is what I was imagining), chips, and tostones (plantain slices) - plus guacamole salsa, sour cream, and pico. We got chips, French fries??, and basic plain pork rinds (like from a gas station) - with no guac salsa. The service was ok, if anything I felt bad because there seemed to only be two people working the entire restaurant on a Saturday evening. Just the appetizer was 18$ and it was all types of inaccurate. I ordered a guacamole side in addition and the small little side was nearly 5.00$. The tacos itself were decent but nothing amazing like they use to be. Probably won't be back, not worth the price & it's unfortunate the items reads differently. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to stop by here as they have an offer (through BECU's Equity in Action) for this month to try out some of their offerings. We arrived and saw that they have quite a large space so plenty of seating, lovely decor and just cozy vibes overall. However this is not your usual sit down restaurant as you go up to the cashier to place your order. They do have a menu that is shown on their screen or physical menus. I got their birria ramen, my boyfriend got their quesabirria, and we got two tacos. The cashier was polite and friendly with us and anyone else who came by. It seemed that the cashier and cook had to communicate a lot as she had to remind him that our order was for here. My boyfriend's quesabirrias did come in a take out container but everything else came in as a regular dine in order. The tacos was very filling and the meats (asada and adobaba) was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The birria ramen was okay but the broth was way too salty and the ramen was not cooked fully which was disappointing as it is instant ramen and that is pretty easy to cook. The quesabirrias was good and so was their rice and beans. They do have a self-serve water station. The bathrooms were clean and lovely. Music was played at a decent volume as we could have a conservative without issues. Additional you can leave your table without cleaning as the cashier will come and grab them when you leave. Overall we would love to try out this place again in the future! It seems they are a local favorite as they kept getting customers for dine in and take out throughout our time there. read more

We ordered (2) Queso Birrieria plates, it came with 2 queso burrieria and consume. It was good and filling, but it was a bit pricey. The host/cashier/ waitress was very nice and friendly. We had a good experience just a tad more than we wanted to spend. It was New Year's Eve so it was a bit slow, but it wasn't busy or loud, and we enjoyed our food. read more

Birrieria Grumpys - The Grumpy's Mad Burrito de asada literally had no asada ‍ - Mexican Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

Really good place best Birrieria around town, nice and clean complex, and ambience house warming.

Service as really bad. Waiter seems more concerned about chatting it up with his co workers than actually place our order. There were three tables and one was getting irritated waiting for their cheque to be sent to them. The ambiance is just...off. The food as some have mentioned, looks bland and lifeless. Considering their sign is a banner over the other sign of the previous restaurant, that's what you need to pay attention to. Do not go here. It's not worth the headache. read more

I should've known when there are no customers in the restaurant during dinner time that the place was suspect. I ordered the surf & turf here. I've had surf & turfs at many other Mexican restaurants and this was by far the worst. First off it was $24 dollars, second it only had 2 small shrimps, third the amount of steak inside was ridiculous and sparse for the amount they charged for this dish. It was very poor quality as well. Then they loaded it with fries. I'm guessing they don't think people would open it up to look inside. I'm not that critical about food, but when you charge that much you should stand behind the food that you serve. Come on now! I should have taken a picture to show the poor quality. Yes, I could've driven elsewhere but considering where we were I was in a pinch & needed to feed my family. I told the server that I opened it up and was dissatisfied with what I saw inside and wanted a refund. The young lady had to call her boss for the refund. She stated her boss said that's how they serve their surf & turf. Really?!! That proved my point! She also said I had to call her boss to get a refund! SMH!! That drives home again the fact as to why there were no customers in that restaurant during dinner. I could be wrong and no I was not having a bad day. I don't mind at all paying for good food. I ended up gathering my family and didn't bother trying to get my money back. I chucked it up as a donation. I will never go back to that place. I would advise you to do the same. Stopped at Alibertos on the way home cause I was still hungry. For half the cost I can tell you there was way more carnisada & shrimp. read more

We went to Birrieria Grumpys around 12:30pm. The restaurant was not crowded. This is not a restaurant where you sit down and a waitress comes and takes your order. The cash register area is where you look at a menu on a screen on the wall or a physical menu and place and pay your order with the cashier. We both ordered the Queso Birrieria. It comes with two tacos and a small bowl of consommé. It was very tasty. This restaurant is located kitty corner from the Riverside Casino. There was ample parking in parking lot. read more

This place deserves a mic drop. Dios mío I inhaled the food. Thank you so much for this amazing lunch spot on our way to Mt. Rainier national park. - Birria Ramen: 5/5 once I added mucho limón and hot sauce. But I pretty much add that to everything. - Birria fries: 5/5. I lived two years in SD and was blown away by carne asada fries and the one thing I felt LA could never do well. Well, these birria fries were BOMB. Privilege to have had the opportunity to stuff my face with them. And yes, I did add a bunch of limón and some hot sauce. Great place. Very friendly staff. read more

In WA for work and was searching for some good food. Being from Chicago, it's hard to find food that compares to our city but there are some gems in WA including this one. Here on a quiet Tuesday night. Only customer at the moment but the restaurant is very welcoming. The decor, the music, it all screams authentic cuisine. Trini was my server and was extremely helpful. Had several recommendations for me; quesabirria tacos and a steak "grumpy" taco. I'm bummed I can't try the grumpy taco as is due to my small spice threshold. It comes with habanero sauce. I opted for it without and the taste was incredible. I added some green sauce she recommended and I demolished the taco. One of the best steak tacos I've ever had. The quesabirria meal is served with two tacos and consume. Huge portions! From the first bite I knew it was going to make me feel happy and completely satisfied. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town and will recommend this to anyone in or out of the Seattle area. read more

We tried this place based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. The food was very good. We had the ramen and Grumpy's burrito - both very, very good. We felt like they can't decide if they are a sit-down restaurant or a fast food place. It felt a little spendy for what we got, but still very good. Worth a try! read more

It was odd not to sit and order food first but still pay ordered and paid, $86.00 + $20.00 tip before I even sat down. We didn't get chips and salsa which was a bummer. We did get an app, the bacon wrapped jalapeños. There were 3, we didn't receive small plates or utensils, the napkin dispenser was out at every table except one-- that we had to take from. We got a couple plates of (2) quesobirrieria tacos. No salsa, lime, scarce cilantro and onion. The consume sauce was more liquidity than i wished it was. The service was nice. read more

Bland, expensive and not as advertised. My mediocre chicken flautas didn't come with the rice and beans I thought they would (they were in the Dinner section which states served with rice and beans) Got the grumpy sampler and was underwhelmed plus it didn't come with the guac. A strange thing happened too when I was checking out- it's cafeteria style where you order at the front, an 18% gratuity was added on without my consent? I'm all about tipping but I'd like to have a say and cafeteria style wouldn't really warrant more than a 10% tip IMHO. Rice and beans had to be ordered as a separate side and were super bland - a huge let down for $6 extra. Definitely won't be coming back here, which sucks I had high hopes! Appetizer Sampler, 2 fish tacos, flautas, kids nuggets, rice and beans side plus chips and salsa (meager portion no refills) was $108. Insane. read more

I really wanted birria tacos and close to us was this place it was new to us so we decided to try it. Upon arrival it was empty we stopped at the counter and the guy said to order there. Once more customers arrived white were seated and then they took their order there? Not sure what happened. The prices seemed high but we hoped it was good. It was not, the taste of the birria it self was mid the broth needed flavor, the sauces are okay. The quesabirrias tasted better bc the cheese added flavor. Ordered 2 birria ramens my kids did not eat so that speaks for it self it had a weird smell pretty sure it was top ramen so for the price not worth it. The jaimaca was good but it was artificial. Will not be coming back. read more

I just started working in Renton and I am still exploring many of the food options. Birrieria Grumpys was a random find while looking for a quick and tasty dinner. I ordered the quesadilla and it exceeded my expectations! It was massive - I enjoyed half of it for dinner that night and the other half for lunch the next day. Packed with meat, wonderfully cheesy, and had this slightly spicy green sauce that was a great compliment with the meal. I grabbed the order to go - picking it up myself. The inside of the establishment looked pretty clean. There was a lot of construction going on in the parking lot, but it was still easy enough to find parking. As for the to-go order, the tasty green sauce was packed in a tied-up zip lock bag - that was kind of strange, but it didn't take away from the flavor. Excited to go back! read more

Super delicious tacos with a delicious consommé. The people who were very nice there. One person might've been new, but she was trying her best. Another lady noticed that they forgot to give us mango margaritas and she sweetly tried to give us our money back. We said no.it's a very old-school place that was a bit rustic, but was compensated by how delicious its food was. The best ones I've had. read more

Per Yelp this place was open til 11. We arrived at 9:40. When the lady inside saw us walking up, she unlocked the door and said they were closed. I advised that Yelp said 11 which is why we showed up, she stated they close at 10. Since it was 9:40 and open for another 20 minutes, I asked if we could still order but she looked at us awkwardly so we just decided to leave. read more

Price of items on the display board didn't match what was being rang up on the register.

Food needs more flavor... taste like it can use a bit more of tomato bouillon. Rice needed flavor, the beans were okay. First time in Seattle trying Mexican food and prob won't be doing it again. To add to the story.... I asked for more limes since they had only given me 1 half of a half of a lime for ramen ! And they charged me $1.59 for the side lol? You are running a "Mexican" restaurant... in a Mexican culture you don't charge for limes. I can see why this place has "good" ratings cause this is all the people out here know... if you are not going ti have good flavor in your food please don't over price. read more

Came in since I was having a craving for birria tacos, and Birrieria Grumpys delivered!! I regret only ordering the normal birria tacos, but my stomach felt like it was best at the time HAH. I will definitely need to return to try the quesa-birria tacos. The meet was so tender, and the consume was flavorful without being too oily. The portions are large but not too overwhelming. I would say 2 tacos was perfect for me, but the nachos would need to be split between two people. I ordered the horchata, which I didn't love (too milky with not enough spices), but the food outweighed this for me by a mile. Inside is very large, so it would be ideal for large groups, and you order at the counter, so food is delivered to your table number as it's ready. read more

We came here after seeing this place on Instagram. I love birria tacos after having them in AZ so we came here. The location is pretty secluded but it's a nice place inside. You order your food at the front and they bring it to your table. They have ample seating inside and a nice ambiance. We both had the birria taco special with 2 birria tacos and consome. We also had a side of rice and beans. The 2 tacos were HUGE and absolutely amazing. They were queso birria with melted cheese and the consome and meat were high quality. The rice was also delicious and simple. The flavor was bursting in it all. That is why the beans were a little upsetting. They were plain pinto beans and they did not add seasoning or flavoring. They were the only thing at the table I didn't like. We also had chips and salsa and they came with 3 different salsas. None of them were chunky. They were all runny with 2 regular green and red spicy options and a creamier guac based salsa. The red was not my favorite but the two green were amazing. I will definitely be returning!! read more

I really enjoy the soup here, the ramen noodles are good and the deep rich broth is amazing! The Birrieria is tender and in abundance in the soup. A nice touch if radish and a squeeze of lime bring a brightness. I had the wrapped jalapeños this time and they were filled with cheese and more meet, delicious and you never know what heat will be there, they were perfect. They are never busy which is too bad because the food and service are excellent. They do have a counter where you order and the bring your food to you at your table. The ambiance is interesting, lots of windows and booths or you can choose a table. It is roomy and bright. read more

We decided to try a different Birrieria place since the delivery fee was less than where we normally order. First look at the guacamole photo. This is how it arrived dark and inedible. The sauces were not in containers but baggies that could easily be punctured. So the outside was greasy. The consommé was in a small paper cup that could've easily been tampered with. It was mainly grease. So I threw it away. My tacos were ok, not as much flavor as the other cheese tacos I get for other Birrierias. My husband said the burrito was ok. Since there are other Birrieria places around, I won't be pressing from this place again. It's too bad because I like supporting local small businesses, but if I'm sent products like what is pictured, I won't support this business. read more

I love my tacos and wish the tortillas were sometimes less dry and more flavorful. Birria is exactly what I'm looking for and Grumpys does not disappoint! Birria tacos are more pricey than normal tacos, but I think it's worth it. Food here is as filling as any other spot so price may seem intimidating, but you will likely be full or satisfied from one to one and a half items, so averaging $10-15 a person. To start, they have a large parking lot which is extremely convenient and easily makes the trip and experience worthwhile. No need to drive around looking for parking and eventually deciding to park far away and having to walk. I heard the crunch wrap was the MVP and the birria ramen is a pass, so I definitely took note of that. Birria ramen sounds so interesting but I believe it's unconventional for a reason and probably isn't as good as birria tacos. However, it is cheap for ramen so maybe worthwhile trying. Crunchwrap - the downside is that this item lays on a bed of oil. Very messy but flavorful. At first the outside looked dry so we were like okay cool, we have the birria from the tacos to dip. We didn't need it, but it did taste better dipped! The inside was saucy (and greasy) so it was not dry at all. Quesabirria tacos - a much cleaner option than the crunchwrap, these birria tacos are not leaking oil. We opted for the quesabirria over the birria taco because cheese sounded good. They're pretty solid on their own but the birria dip was fantastic. Rich broth that's not overwhelming and it enhances the tacos. Would definitely order both items again, but lean towards the quesabirria tacos for ease of eating and being a more simple item. Not to say the crunchwrap wasn't good, but it's definitely a heavier item. read more
