But once you find it, you'll be so glad. It was the sweetest, cutest little restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. I always like to try Chile Rellenos at different places because everyone's is a little different. Their sauce that they put on top is a fresh made tomato sauce. It did give me a little bit of Italian vibes. I had ground beef in mine and I really enjoyed it. Their are beans had a nice flavor and I loved their rice. When you're seated, you're given a cup of red sauce, a cup of green sauce, and a little cup of beans to dip your chips in. I really enjoyed it, but our chips were a little stale, but honestly, it wasn't that big of a deal. We kept eating them. My husband really thought their flavor of their mole sauce was pretty good. Not everybody makes good mole sauce. We would definitely come back again so we can try some of their fancier dishes.

Yum, yum, yum! I was happy to stubble across this place. If you like birria, this is the place to…read morego! I had the 3 birria tacos with consome! They were stuffed with tender meat and were not excessively greasy. They come with onion and cilantro and three different salsas. Kind of embarrassed to say I ate it all but I couldn't help it. The place has interesting murals and Mexican music and clay plates which made it feel more authentic. Service was friendly although they gave my plate to the person next to me, they went back and brought me my food fairly quickly. The horchata was also very good.

It's easily our favorite place for anything birria. From the birria pizza to the tacos, everything is incredible. The dipping consomé is seriously to die for, and the meat is cooked to absolute perfection. The service is great, and the Chicano art painted throughout the restaurant gives the whole place such a cool, authentic vibe. We always share the combo because you get a little bit of everything, and trust me, it will definitely fill you up. Seriously, get it. This is our number one taco spot in DFW, and after your first visit, it might be yours too.

They have pickleball courts and a large seating area, part indoors and part outdoors. Because of that, there were an overwhelming number of flies that we had to fight off while eating indoors. I kept it simple and got the carne asada tacos. We also sampled the fries, birria tacos, and a quesadilla. The service was friendly enough, although we didn't interact with the staff all that much. The food was good and made to order. I also got a mangonada that was basically a mango-flavored slushie that tasted like it had been sitting in the freezer all day. I don't know that I disliked this place, but I am not in a hurry to go back. It was the flies for me.

The beans had a lot going on and included ingredients that probably should be mentioned when ordering. She thought the fries were decent, but said the birria tacos were just okay and that she's had much better elsewhere in the area. The service is good and straightforward. You walk up to order, grab a seat, and wait for your buzzer to go off. One thing to note: if you order drinks, keep an eye out for them because they're not brought to your table. As for my meal, I tried the mushroom, shrimp, and pastor tacos. The pastor was underwhelming, and the shrimp was overcooked. The mushroom taco was easily the standout and will definitely be my go-to if I come back. The weather will soon be nice for enjoying the patio, but there's also plenty of indoor seating available.
