La Birria Loca - Birria tacos, Consomé (4oz), rice, beans. - Mexican Near Me - Winfield, Illinois

My first visit to La Birria Loca. I was initially expecting a sit-down restaurant, but it turned out to be carry-out only, with a few picnic tables in the back for seating. That was a surprise at first, but we made it work. One thing that caught me off guard was the pricing. When ordering, I was asked if I wanted pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole, but it wasn't clear these were additional charges. I assumed they came with the meal. Three orders plus drinks ended up being over $100, which was unexpected. I did have to double-check the receipt, and to their credit, the staff quickly removed the extra charges once I brought it up and told him I didn't need pico, sour cream and gaucamole. Our tab still came to $87 for the 3 entrees with drinks. Despite that, the food itself was very tasty. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared, and we were genuinely surprised at how good it was. Consume was one the best I've had hands down. They portion sizes are well worth it. Their hot sauces were also excellent, with spice levels clearly labeled by number, which made it fun to try different heat levels. Overall, even with the confusion around pricing and setup, I would definitely come back again for the food. read more

Man were we amazed... We were in the area due to my brother having a baseball game and we searched up food near us & we saw they had a birria taco spot like 7-8 min away. We pull into the parking lot the first thing I tell my husband is "well this looks promising" AND WE WERE DEFINITELY RIGHT! From the moment we walked in we were amazed by the artwork we were surrounded by and we were immediately greeted by this wonderful guy I forgot his name but he was so cool. Our food was amazing it definitely hit the spot. Can't wait to come back!! This is definitely in my top two favorite Birria spots here in IL so sad we are so far away from here tho!! -ALSO PLEASE TRY THE COFFEE HORCHATA!!! (the horchata is home made!!) read more

The food was great. They got all the food out real quick. And there was a nice park right around the corner for our big group.

We stopped on a recommendation from a store we were in. It's a take out spot so you are aware. They do have 3 picnic tables out back when the weather is nice. The staff is personable and the inside is small but clean. I got the quesabirria quesadilla. Grass fed beef which was delicious. My husband had the tacos. Both were missing the crunch we like but still very good. I suggest calling ahead as it takes a while but worth the wait if you don't. Eyeball the artwork in the walls in the meantime. The beans and rice added on for $2.99 were eh. And very small. Luckily they gave you consume, limes, onions, salsa, cilantro for those who like it. Sour cream and guacamole I believe we paid for. 3 Hot sauce came in ranges from hot to oh no! So pick your poison. read more

La Birria Loca - QUESADILLA - Mexican Near Me - Winfield, Illinois

Another outstanding experience at this place. Besides terrific staff, tonight we tried the birria ramen ... so f'in delicious!!! It might be my new fav. My friends C chilaquiles with 3 eggs was huge & tasty. The chicken quesadilla was also really, really good. We also went with the Oreo tres leches cake for the win to finish out the meal - Yum-O! 5.0 deliciousness It also great the weather nice for us to eat at their picnic tables out back. read more

What an amazing experience I had here. The owner was very friendly and gave me a full run down of their menu and how things are made. Everything is made fresh and you can really taste it. The birria was so fresh and flavorful. Shout out to dad as well! I've been in the restaurant industry for over 8 years and I was thoroughly impressed. I will be back soon! read more

First time here! I was warmly welcomed by Joe and Dan (not sure I got the names right!). They helped me choose beef and cheese tacos, which were absolutely delicious. They serve it with a consommé for dipping that is delicious. It also came with chopped onion and cilantro and a variety of sauces. I brought the same home for my husband and he loved them! I can't believe I hadn't heard about this place before. We'll definitely be back! read more

Delicious food and vegetarian friendly! Fast service and friendly people. Conveniently located near the train station so I was able to quickly grab my food and take it to go. The food tasted fresh bad if you like hot sauce you MUST try the habanero. I am always searching for a good spicy sauce and this was one of the best I've ever had. Also has the Tres Leches cake which was moist and delicious. They have rotating flavors as well! While I waited for my food, I also got to sample the Banana Horchata - also delicious and just the right sweetness. read more

La Birria Loca - VEGGIE TACOS PLATTER - Mexican Near Me - Winfield, Illinois

First time, and boy I was impressed! Grass fed and grass finished beef is the highest quality, and that's what got me in the door. I had three large corn birria tacos- they came with onion, cilantro, two sauces and of course the consommé on the side. Excellent. Two gentlemen working had the best personalities- one was the owners son. Friendly, lively , engaging, unexpected. I don't know what makes them so happy to be at work, but boy they give a great impression. The building itself is decorated so cool. Stop here, it's unique and delicious and an exceptional staff!! read more

La Birria Loca - Birria corn tacos- these were heavy and large!! - Mexican Near Me - Winfield, Illinois

Great food and a lot of fun talking to the owner! Definitely not your average Mexican restaurant. No tables inside so you can take your order home or eat at a table out back. read more

I had the best experience going to La Birria Loca. Everyone was very nice and explained in detail how everything was made! They had the best horchata and the elote was immaculate! I would highly recommend this place for anyone! read more

Next level food experience!!! Got to hand it La Birria Loca! This is my hands down favorite introduction to a restaurant! Upon walking in I was greeted and asked if I was new, they had a feeling it was my first time in. I was given an introduction to what the restaurant does and who they are. I ordered a 3 Birria taco dinner with rice and beans for lunch. The food was excellent and paired with three sauces one hotter than the next. This joint is family operated, compliments to everyone here you can taste the love and authenticity to it! Place is riddled with cool urban metal art! Will be coming back and glad I gave this shot! read more

How did I just notice I've never left a review for La Birria Loca?!? Shame on me!!! Also shame on me that I just went to town and ate my food before getting pictures. I'll add some next time! Anyway - you ever wonder what it feels like when Jesus comes down and blesses you? Eat at La Birria Loca. My goodness their food hits EVERY TIME!!! I lived in the city for over 10 years before coming back to the burbs. Chicago has some of the best Mexican food, but La Birria Loca beats most of them out. No doubt about it that their consume is the absolute best. The meat quality is just unmatched. You won't find better quality steak, beef, or chicken. I'd put money on that statement. My husband and I have had their tacos, Baja tacos, Birria ramen, super beef burritos and finally today tried the Quesabirria. I won't lie, it hits my soul a little when I click the order button because their prices are a lot higher than most Mexican restaurants, BUT the second you take a bite, all is forgotten. They have a high quality product. The Quesabirria was hands down my favorite thus far with the Birria ramen close behind. Their Baja tacos are also some of the best tacos. My only suggestion to this place would be to consider making the corn tortillas fresh to order. That is the only thing Invicto in Naperville has on this place. If La Birria Loca had the corn tortillas of Invicto, they'd be stealing the entire state of illinois for best Mexican food. Salsas, toppings, meat and cheese quality, consume, etc. La Birria Loca wins. Do yourselves a favor and eat here!! It would be a true disservice if you didn't. read more

Love the food here!! Amazing family recipes and really cool interior. Great people here and so friendly service!! Cute picnic tables to eat outside or takeout for going back home. The breakfast burrito is so delicious. The quessabirria was delicious for my daughter and she is so picky!! The horchata was an out of body experience and the elote is flavorful. Epic!! read more

Great flavor, over priced, not intended for sit down. You must get it to go. It's definitely higher quality and worth trying.

We had just finished a cancer awareness walk and wanted to find a casual, local Mexican restaurant. We are from out of town, but we loved talking with the family who owns the place. They gave us a lot of history of the building, talked to them about their band touring days, and enjoyed hearing the passionate stories about their food. We both got the birria chilaquiles (off their secret menu--use their QR code to find their link tree that has their current full menu) and it was DELICIOUS. It's dunked in their level 4 sauce (tangy and mild) with delicious birria meat and pico de gallo. Additionally, DO NOT miss the churro cheesecake! It is everything. Not too sweet, so creamy, still thinking about it hours later. You can only take out. Long complicated building codes prevent them from being a sit down restaurant but there is a cute park behind the building. Just be aware that bathrooms might be locked! read more

Been wanting to go to this place for so long and found myself at CDH visiting someone and needed lunch. Got the birria tacos and they were the bomb! The vibe in the place is outstanding and they have a cute seating area behind it. This is a must stop! read more

Best Birria you will have. Service can't be beat. We are new in the area, and they took the time to explain their most popular items. Did not disappoint at all. Went off their recommendation, and it was out of this world. Love that it's a family-run place and it has a special character that can't be beat. Make sure to check out all the artwork too. Really cool place. Have to go if you're in the area. read more

Birria burrito no onion Large koRn Steak quesadilla platter Dreamsickle tres leches This comes with a ton of different sauces and I don't know why or what they are but it's fun to try them and several of them are very good (I liked orange). This tres leches was ridiculously excellent. Apparently they have rotating flavors so this is going to be the star of this restaurant for me and pretty much the whole point of going here. They don't have horchata yet but apparently they're putting in the machine. The quesadilla was pretty boring and the steak was fine but it really wasn't worth the $2.50 up charge. Probably my fault for picking the most boring thing on the menu, I guess. The corn was pretty good - a goopy and buttery mess. The burrito is unbelievably huge and I was told it was good so maybe I'll try that next time. read more

such amazing food. best BEEF birria around. best service. helpful. friendly. monthly flavors of horchata-delish! read more

Phenomenal experience - staff was friendly and the reviews prove how good this place is. Extremely flavorful and plenty of different food options. It is a small place but in this case size doesn't matter. Will definitely return and after reading through their low reviews it couldn't be any more false. It's pretty rare to be treated as nice as these folks. Will be back for sure! read more

We absolutely love La Birria Loca -- it's hands down our favorite birria. Every bite is packed with rich, authentic flavor and you can tell the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The tortillas are warm, the consommé is savory and comforting, and the portions are generous. On top of the amazing food, the staff are always friendly, welcoming, and attentive -- they make the whole experience feel personal and genuine. If you're looking for top-quality birria and a place where you're treated like family, this is it. Highly recommend. I would have posted photos but I ate all the food instead! read more

This place has been on my radar for a minute. But it is a minute away from me so I needed the right time to stop. A few of us ordered to have food pick up and we ordered a variety of things. Everyone loved the food. Especially the birria tacos were so good! I'm not sure about what the place looks like because I myself didn't go but from what my bud said it was cool and the service was real nice! Salsas were super good too! And don't forget the cheesecake when u go! read more

The food was absolutely delicious. I've never had so much flavor at once, I genuinely recommend this place. I've maybe left 3 reviews in my life time but this deserves one. Best place ever! You need to try this at least once in your lifetime. read more

La Birria Loca - Wonderful food - Mexican Near Me - Winfield, Illinois

I've been here twice due to experiencing intense cravings two days after finishing leftovers from my first visit. First visit I ordered the quesatacos platter which came with 3 birria & cheese tacos, beans, rice, and consommé. (Also: fresh lime, onion, and cilantro.) I'm not exaggerating (very much) when I say I almost passed out from delirium after my first bite of taco! OMG so good! The portion size of the tacos blew me away. I ended up only finishing one at a time. The good news is that these reheat nicely in the air fryer. I almost never get too excited about rice, so it's not a dig when I say the rice was 'fine'. The beans had a nice flavor but were a tiny bit salty for my taste. For my second trip I skipped the extras and just got 3 quesatacos, a side of guacamole, and horchata. I very much appreciated that the guac wasn't cut with tomatoes, and the horchata was lovely! Apparently, La Birria Loca has a following for the creative tres leches recipes. I got some on my first trip and learned that squishy cake isn't my thing, but the ingredients were fresh, and the portion size was generous. I'll try the cheesecake at my next visit, and *maybe* a different main, but I think those tacos will be calling me again soon!! read more

I called again around 6:40pm for a pick up order, and was told "We're only taking online orders". I didn't mind at all because I understand working in the food industry, they're trying to clean up which is understandable. I went to order online at 6:42 and all of the platforms they're on said they're not taking orders anymore?? I'm very confused as to why I was told to order online if their platforms are saying that.. If they were done taking orders in general, why tell me to go online.. Very misleading... I just wanted birria:((((((( read more

Finally!!! I struggle sometimes to be able to find food I like. I stopped in right after lunch. When I came in I was told they just ran out of Birria, but they can still make other stuff. I ordered the birria pizza with steak, elote, and churro cheesecake. The owner told me that everything is fresh and never frozen. They don't fry or microwave anything. While I waited he told me a little about the place. We talked local restaurants and shared places we both liked. The food came and I took it home. First off the pizza. Good lord. It's huge (that what she said) it is personal sized, but it has so much meat and cheese inside its killer filling. So delicious also. The steak was perfectly cooked, not crispy and dry like most tacos places. The sauces were awesome also. Second was the elote. I'd leave my wife for it. Enough said. I get full quickly, but I had to slowly eat it over 30 minutes. I could not put it down. Final item was the churro cheesecake. It was good. I'm not going to go into detail, because you have to try it. No review or picture could give it justice. Anyways, go to this place. Please. I've been trying to gain some more weight and I won't make goal if we don't keep this place flourishing. Also, owner has cool art on the walls. Adds something. read more

Small place for pick up orders ran by father in law & son in law. The son in law was super friendly and we loved their story! Congrats on making it 3 years in business! The Jamaica was a bit bitter for my liking & the Horchata tasted different than what we are used to..not sure if it was a good or bad different. Ordered the Baja tacos and they were ok...when I think of Baja tacos it usually consists of a slaw and Baja sauce but the tacos came with pico de gallo and cheese. The steak burrito was good however the salsas were entirely too spicy and we were unable to enjoy them with our food. read more

First time trying today, friendly customer service when picking up food. Good variety on salsas. Birria ramen was amazing. read more

Amazing food! Go every week! The staff is always so sweet and always remember me by face

Super unique and different establishment. Customer service was through the roof!! I was just searching for tacos tonight in Wheaton Area and stumbled across this place. Never heard of Birria before, but it was so good! Best Horchata I've ever had in my life, and the food quality was great. If price is an issue to you, it's on the more expensive side. Two people around $47.00, But for the value you are provide I believe it is super fair! Especially with the freshness and the grass fed/organic meat! Highly recommended!! The ambiance of the place is super different and cool! Loved the atmosphere read more

Thank you for being such a good restaurant! Thank you for having really good service when we came in. You guys were kind and told us about the new sales and treats.
