    Birria quesadilla

    Super chill little spot! It's nice and small so it doesn't feel crowded, and the parking right out front is amazing.

    Birria Pizza

    It was definitely a college scene looking decor and vibe. But we went during the early dinner, so can't say for sure. Service was good, would have liked my water refilled without asking, but overall she was great. My food was great. I was pleasantly surprised by the Birria Pizza as I love a Mexican style pizza, but a good one can be hard to find. The personal size is at least a medium pizza at other places. So come hungry. My peers steak tacos were very bland, she asked for the green chili and cilantro on the side, which could have impacted the flavor. But was surprised to see a taco without any cheese

    I'm so glad we chose here for lunch! Tacos and salad pictured were both delicious, as were the Birria Quesadilla and churro that were devoured before the camera had a chance. The service was friendly and wonderful. We didn't have drinks this time but I can't wait to go back for another quesadilla and a margarita!

    Parking is a bit of a challenge because it is street parking. I was able to find a parking spot right across the street even though there was snow on the roads. When I first walked into the restaurant, it gave me a nice cozy feeling. I never heard of Birria Tacos before until my brothas told me about it. It was amazing when I took the first bite. The experience of taking that first bite after dipping the Birria taco into the consume was amazing. The amount of meat in the tacos were excellent. Also tried the tres leches cake which was also super tasty. If you are craving Birria tacos then this place is highly recommended!

    The Carne Asada was absolutely delicious and the Margarita had some serious pucker power. They rimmed the glass with Chamoy and Tajin. Just the best Margarita I've ever had!

    El Rey Mexitalia is the perfect example of don't judge a book by it's cover. To explain, waking by El Rey you wouldn't think much of it, but then you would be wrong. With that being said, I'm always on the lookout for great quesadillas and I was told that El Rey has some of the best. In any event, I ordered the birria beef quesadilla and it was absolutely delicious. To enumerate, the tortilla was light, crispy, and incredibly fresh. Furthermore, the beef was tender, juicy, and melted in my mouth. In addition, the sautéed onions and cheese added excellent flavor and really brought it all together. Finally, the birria was flavorful, savory, and worked as an excellent dipping broth. In summary, El Rey Mexitalia may not be the most glamorous place, but they have some of the best quesadillas I've ever had.

    Very good 10/10 flavorful well seasoned only thing I didn't like was that my limes were super dry

    Birria Beef Quesadilla and Churros
    Sherise K.

    Okay the quesadilla was half eaten in this picture because I couldn't wait to try this lol, but I ordered the Birria Beef Quesadilla and the Churros and WOW. The quesadilla was amazing, great flavor, big portion. The consome was really good, could've used a touch more cilantro but lots of flavor as well. The churro, incredible. I will dream of this meal, highly recommend.

    Birria tacos are probably best eaten in the restaurant as opposed to taking them to go. Get a little soggy in the transport.

My expectations weren't too high because I didn't know if Albany had a thriving Mexican community. Viva Cinco de Mayo blew me away! We sat in a comfortable outdoor dining section. Our waitress was extremely helpful! The menu was extensive and felt authentic to me. My daughter ordered chips and queso, clearly house made chips were outstanding! Her chicken and cheese quesadilla was also delicious. My wife and I shared some of the best tamales we've ever had! So fresh and vibrant, chicken with green salsa. My wife enjoyed three tacos and the sangria. I absolutely loved their pozole with mole sauce! The hominy was perfectly cooked. Their fresh Tamarindo juice was also delicious! Truly an awesome lunch!

I like my huge plate of chilaquiles, big portion of steak and chips. They know how to cook rice and beans here. Rice is not too mushy and soft, just the right texture. I wish I had room to try their tres leche or flan for dessert. Next time Service could be more attentive. I think if you know some Spanish that would be ideal, because they got my order wrong. Parking, just street parking. you should able to find some parking on the street nearby

Upon arrival you'll receive complimentary chips and salsa. It was fresh as the chips were warm and I could taste the fresh ingredients in the salsa. We ordered the carne asada and the Baja tacos (and the enchiladas verdes to go based on hot good the food was). The carne asada was fantastic, and it came with rice, beans, and tortillas. The Baja tacos were delicious and came with a super spicy sauce (they did have a lot of onions which was my only drawback). We ended the night with a special strawberry tres leches for Valentine's Day. It's not something I would have typically ordered but I do love tres leches and this did not disappoint - it was amazing. All in all excellent food you'll be glad you came for the food! A few other notes- the inside of the restaurant is pretty and draws on what I've seen in other Mexican restaurants. Staff were so friendly and had the perfect balance of checking in with us to letting us eat our meal. There is a small bar area that is separate from the dining area. Street parking only but there seemed to be plenty of spots. However, I would try to park as close as possible to the restaurant as the neighborhood itself didn't seem like the greatest. We had no issues during our experience but just something to consider. Overall I really liked this place and will definitely return!

It somehow manages to feel upscale while still being approachable and relaxed. Everything works together beautifully. The decor, the atmosphere, the energy. The design screams that it feels Bonita.

Who goes to happy hour at a brand-new restaurant and doesn't order one of the cocktails when they looked exceptionally good? Me, apparently. I'm on a fitness journey, so I stuck with a soft drink - and a ridiculous amount of chips that came with the guac and nachos. #DontJudgeMe The food was great, and the happy hour menu was definitely worth it.
