Cons: I came for the 1$ taco Tuesday. I didnt find out until I was ordering that the special doesn't apply to flour tortilla, only corn. If you get your tacos on flour tortilla, you will get charged regular price (2.50 each). My 9 dollar order quickly became 22! I ordered all of the different tacos.... out of 9 (i think) I only liked 4. Pros: food came out hot and fast! read more

I'm always on the hunt for the best Taco Tuesday deals, so when I saw this place offering $1 tacos, I had to check it out! The food itself was okay, but the service really needs improvement; the attitude and shady behavior of the staff made me never want to come back, even with such a good deal. When we walked in, I stopped at the front to ask about their specials to confirm they were still active. The lady told me all meat options were included, then told us to grab a seat. They brought out chips and salsa, which were really good, but the portion of chips was tiny. We skimmed the menu quickly and were ready to order. When the waitress came back, we asked for more chips. She agreed and brought another small basket without mentioning any extra charge. On our third request, while still waiting for food, she suddenly told us chips would cost extra. I thought, okay, maybe after two baskets that makes sense, but it should've been clear from the start. We ordered our tacos, but during that process she told us lengua wasn't part of the special and would be $3.09 per taco. That confused me, since I had asked earlier and was told all meats were included. I declined the lengua because I didn't want to pay $3+ for a small taco. Food took a while but came in decent portions. However, they still brought out a lengua taco, even though I had specifically declined it. She took my plate back to the kitchen to remove it. Some of the meats tasted a bit grimy, but I was trying cuts that were new to me. My favorites were the beef birria and tripa, they were delicious! That said, eating the meat on its own was VERY salty. When we went up to pay, they charged us $4.50 for extra chips. At this point, I was already irritated with their lack of communication and service. My friend paid, but when I noticed they also charged for the lengua taco that had been returned, I was FURIOUS. I walked back to demand a refund. All the staff knew that taco was taken back, so why would they try to charge us for it? She apologized and said they "forgot"... but there were only three tables in the restaurant. How do you forget to check the total before charging customers? We didn't notice it at the register because it was a Square terminal, which only shows the total and doesn't let you scroll through line items. Later, I read other reviews and realized many people had similar experiences. The tacos themselves are fine, and I would have enjoyed the meal if the staff hadn't acted like scammers. Just beware before you go. read more

Such an underrated spot. Old school and kind of a hole in the wall, but the taco Tuesday and Thursday specials are unmatched. 20 tacos for $25 dollars on Thursdays, and $1 tacos Tuesdays. They have a drive thru which is also rare for smaller restaurants. The Birria is what they're famous for but there isn't a thing on the menu that isn't authentic. The best tacos in DFW. read more

The food was really good! I got a bean burrito with cheese and avocado. The tortilla was especially delicious. The music was annoying and loud and could have been much quieter for the small space so the ambience wasn't my favorite. But the service was great, they were very friendly with no communication barriers and got the food out rather quickly, everything was fresh and tasted great. I'll definitely come back to try more. The burrito was a perfect size and I really appreciate them cutting it in half, almost no places do that. Much easier to eat that way :) read more

It's alright. We got the quesadilla birria and the Plato mix. The birria was okay, but I just think it needs more flavor. The actual quesadilla was really good. The quesadilla was grilled real nice and the meat was really tasty. Music was a little too loud for my taste, but atmosphere was good. read more

Food was extremely mid. However, could've let that go. The service was pretty bad and their specials were very unclear, could have let that go. The lady with dyed red hair was extremely rude. Their mistake resulted in a very small overcharge. She said either I paid it or the waitress paid it. With management like this, I don't understand how this place is still in business. Will not return. read more

Delicious and authentic tacos. We love to switch between getting the Quesabirria Taco Plate 3 Tacos, Consome, and grilled onions and or the Quesabirria Qursadilla de Birria. The service is great. The food is delicous. The atmosphere is casual and all are welcome here. There is a drive-thru as well or you find come in and order to-go. Me and my family enjoy inside the restaurant. Yummy flan and churros! read more

Birriería Aguiñaga - This is my order of parillada 24 dollars for just this amount is complete robbery I use to go here alot but now not anymore. - Mexican Near Me - Garland, Texas

One of the most authentic places and that is saying a lot considering that I am Latino and have had my fair share of Tacos de Birria! AND........ They have a drive thru! Which just makes it so much more of a dinner option dure to not having to get out of my car lol! The flavor is on point, eating at the location is nice as well, and they have snacks! Salsas are nice and spicy and drinks deliver as well. I could eat their food any day of the week and for the amount of competition they have in the surrounding area, they definitely stand out. Gotta go now, bye bye then! read more

Birriería Aguiñaga - Quesabirria & Michelada - Mexican Near Me - Garland, Texas

If I could give more stars, I would. i'm from los angeles, out there we have nothing but authentic mexican food EVERYWHERE. So when I moved here and tried tex-mex I was deeply disappointed with the lack of taste and quality. but this place. THIS is mexican food. I had the birria tacos last week and I can't stop thinking about them. 10000/10 Si pudiera, les daría más de 5 estrellas. Yo so latina de los angeles, y tenemos comida mexicana auténtica en cada esquina. Y. cuando me moví para Dallas, no había nada pero el Tex-Mex. para ser sincera eso no es comida hecho con sabor. pero este lugar si es la cosa verdadera. fue un placer comer aquí. me sentí que estaba otra ves en los angeles comiendo comida rica. compre los tacos dorados de birria y no puedo parar en pensar en eso read more

Birriería Aguiñaga - birria tacos w/consume - Mexican Near Me - Garland, Texas

Ordered tortas, they were a complete mess. They felt wet. It's like they just smash the beans into it and all the ingredients. The meat tasted horrible like rubber. Me and someone else got one (different meat) and we both ended up eating soup at home and barely biting these things. They also commented their meat tasted old even though I hadn't mentioned anything about mine. It's just very angering to pay such a high price for honestly trash preparation. Plus they seem to remove bad reviews because I recall I had already left one bad for their tipping amount dishonesty. read more

Stopped in on my way home to grab some tacos. Very calm, cool, and clean inside. I ordered the pastor, beef fajita, and birria tacos and they were all fantastic! I wanted the try the birria ramen but I'll have to save it for next time. Great, friendly service as well. I'll definitely be back! read more

Came here to try the birria and loved it!! The food was great but service was extremely lacking. We waited almost an hour for our food, only to have it come out wrong even after the waitress read back our order before putting it in. The birria tacos were crispy and cheesy, the consume was perfect for dipping! Of course, the chips and salsa/pickled veggies were delicious as well. Definitely need to go back asap! read more

HORRIBLE!!! Customer service was ass. Our server had something up her ass. She stayed arguing with the customers. Giving us whatever she wanted. I asked for a water and all I got was ice. The birria was so oily. Definitely had better. Do NOT recommend. Our server had very dark eyebrows. Hoop earrings. Limping a lot. Big attitude. FIX IT. read more

The food is very good and so was the tepache . The machito is my favorite. I always order aguas frescas when at an authentic Mexican restaurant but was disappointed at the lack of quality of the Jamaica and melon , they use soda machine fake aguas frescas . Definitely not worth $5 for a cup of cheap soda machine horchata. read more

I ordered from here off of doordash and was disappointed I even bothered to try it. The Quesabirria Quesadilla was extremely greasy, pretty bland, and had multiple bones in it. You could tell they really didn't care because one of the bones was pretty large. There's much better locations to order food from in the area that have much better flavor. Would NOT recommend. read more

Stopped by on our way home to get a to-go placed. Even though they were about to close, they were so accommodating and took our order without complaining. The kitchen was still opened and did a great job with our street tacos (they have a variety of meats) and I ordered the chicken flautas with rice and beans as a side. As expected the food didn't disappoint and the service didn't either. Will definitely be back to experience their sit down service. Not sure if they do curbside due to covid but I know you can definitely place to-go orders at reasonable prices. Come check them out! read more

Good late night eats. We came in about 9:40 pm and they closed at 10 pm. They allowed us to still dine in and didn't rush us out. The chips on the nachos are homemade- they weren't fried hard - when I received them they were really soft and chewy. The Tacos and quesadillas were wonderful! The rice was PERFECT!! They have an amazing hot sauce that I really enjoyed. They ladies there were fantastic! read more

The food was enjoyable, however, my experience soured when I went to pay the bill at the register. Our server tallied up the total ($80+), including an 18% gratuity for my family of five (3 adults, 2 kids), without presenting an itemized bill. She turned the screen for me to insert my credit card and all it had was the total amount, plus an option to leave a tip. An ADDITIONAL TIP!! When I asked her if my total included a tip, there was hesitation in confirming its inclusion. I asked to see the itemized bill and that's when I saw the 18% gratuity that was added without telling me. Had I not asked, I would have given another tip. This lack of transparency left me feeling disappointed and frustrated. My advice to others is to be cautious when settling the bill. read more

In the words of my 14 year old son, "bussin bussin...!" delicious food and the friendliest service ever! Gracias!

My husband and I were looking for an authentic spot but this isn't it. I ordered the Guiso de Puerco and as soon as I got the plate the pork smelled old. My husband did like the birria but didn't rave it as the best. Customer service was terrible. Honestly it felt like if you aren't a man that's there to flirt with the waitresses you weren't getting the attention of none of them. My husband had to go get us straws even after our waitress came passed our table 3x. Not worth coming back. read more

The staff was very polite, and it was very clean. The waitress mopped the entire restaurant while we were eating. It was kind of off putting as the scent of the cleaning agent was very strong. The mole sauce tasted and looked like it was out of a can. I don't know that I would recommend this place or go again. read more

This is a pleasant surprise. Real Mexican food that is really good. Just had lunch here and had the Mole Con Carnitas plate (see the picture). Awesome! Also had a Al Pastor taco,which was also great.

I've passed by here a few times in the past two months and have been to the restaurants that have been at that location before it - hopefully this one's a keeper! This was the first time that I have had Birria (lamb) at a Taqueria (of sorts) and food from the Mexican state of Jalisco, but I would like to think my experience went fairly well. My host/waitress/server/cashier was courteous, knowledgable, attentive and prompt from the get go...of course, the restaurant was empty when I came in around 7pm on a wednesday, but I don't think that had too much of an effect. Just ask if you don't understand the spanish terminologies and I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help. When I came in, I didn't expect a sit-down feel nor the free chips and (interesting, but good) a bowl of carrot-onion "salsa" that came soon after I had sat down at my table, which was all a pleasant surprise. As I wrote in my picture, the carrot-onion bowl was fragrantly acidic with a nice kick, and the chips had a delicate char - good start so far. The ambiance is that of a bright, fluorescent lit taco bell...which this was a while back...no matter, the "cowboy/girl" themed pieces were a quirky, amiable touch to an otherwise somewhat "lightly brash"establishment...I would recommend routing the fluorescent units into dimly lit individual hanging pedants to create some intimacy and not have everything so jarring so late at night...of course, you do have two other locations, so what do I know... I ordered three tacos, birria, tinga, and pastor. The lamb was tender and succulent, spiced decently, and, with the tortillas (a little dry, but a good base), green (it has an acceptable pungency for what it is, but I would have liked more heat) and red salsas, lime, cilantro, onion, and adding the carrot/onion mix they give you at the start of your meal, the taco was well-rounded and filling - It was the star of the night. The pastor (shredded, spiced pork) and tinga (I think chicken) fell a little short, but helped in the stuffing process. Bathrooms were clean, stocked, and laced with the aromatic scent of wonderful artificial deodorizers - not bad. Not bad at all. Water - fairly neutral...which is nice from what you usually get from the City of Garland. A refreshing palate cleanser. Would I go back? Sure. I had my fill o' the night for $3.25, a decent, certainly respectable meal, and a clean, quiet environment to stew in my thoughts. Overall, nicely done, señores, señoritas, and señoras of this establishment. Thank you for a warm meal and warm service at the end of an otherwise busy day. read more

I order 5 tacos and some flautas. When I arrived to pick up my order no one seem to want to help I waiting at the front counter and ignored. Customer service is poor at this place. The food was bland tacos came with very little cilantro and onions. The flautas had cheese when we clearly order no cheese. Not impressed would not recommend this place. read more

Have passed by this place plenty of times growing up, but had never stopped in, but now I wish I had sooner. Really delicious food. I get the Al Pastor Birria Tacos and they were amazing. Just the right amount of crunch but not too dry. Only difficulty is the language barrier when ordering, but they are very understanding and kind. read more

I am HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AT THE SERVICE I JUST RECEIVED from their establishment. I have been coming here for years (since I've lived in Texas 2015) and have always loved the food and at times ignored the bad service/the amount of being ignored. But this time no way! There was a new young lady taking my order and she was sweet but to her coworkers that I know have been there for a while I watched as they rolled their eyes at me several times and when I asked for a hot sauce (not extra) but simply one with my Togo order they had a 2-3 minute conversation in Spanish as if I was asking for something that didn't come with my meal that I had just paid for. I WILL NOT BE BACK! I'll find somewhere to get my birria. I won't spend my money where I'm not treated fairly and right. read more

We love the REAL JALISCO-STYLE food at Birrieria Aguinaga! This is a great use for a former Taco Bell. More real Mexican places ought to take over Taco Bells. We are adventurous, and whenever we come here are the only Anglos in the place. That means it's our kinds place!! Lamb birria is delicious and tender, served on a plate in a delicious broth (consome) or dry (sin consome) if you prefer. It's delicious either way!! We like the Plato Mix which is a mix of Lamb meat birria and lamb tripe. Lamb tripe looks unappetizing, but is tender, succulent, and delicious!! We found the lamb tripe plate itself delicious but a tad rich for dinner. EAT HERE NOW read more

The tacos and quesadillas were flavorful but the consume was kind of bland. I had to add salsa and salt to get it to taste right. I also order the wings and I would advise all to not even bother. Somehow they weren't crispy but dry anyways. Flavors on the wings is below Wingstop and that's saying something. read more
