Fresh, good flavor and hit the spot! The nachos are HUGE! 2 people can share them. The tamales were yummy! Nice and hearty. The service was great. A sweet young man in high school took our order. Great to see a nice young man working and being so kind and respectful, he is being raised right! It's a small spot, no tables or anything and a small landing for 2-3 people max to grub and it was totally fine, we opted to eat there. Please support local businesses!

I ended up at Birria Ocotlon by mistake, thinking I was heading to another restaurant with a very…read moresimilar name. At first glance, the style here reminded me a lot of that other spot, but I decided to stay and give it a try anyway. The staff was genuinely great -- very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I really appreciated the customer service, which made the experience pleasant on that front. Where things fell short for me was the food. The tacos ($3.50 each) were greasy and bland, and they left an odd film on the roof of my mouth. I also tried the consomé, which unfortunately had a flavor I couldn't get past. Overall, I just didn't enjoy the meal. I respect the effort and the great service, but the food wasn't for me. I don't plan on coming back, but I do hope they continue to work on improving their recipes because the team itself was wonderful.

I was hungry and my craving directed me to stop here. It was the right stop…read more My significant other and I walked inside and were able to choose our table. We chose table 1. The menu was already at the table, so that was convenient. From the Bebidas Drinks section, they had Pepsi Products and I went with a Diet Pepsi 16oz. $2.49. The Tacos were $3.29 ea. and Served with onions and cilantro. I went with a Pollo - Chicken. The Burritos were $8.99 ea. and I went with a Chorizo - Mexican sausage. The Burrito: Served with beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. We were given free chips, salsa, and limes. It was all excellent. The Diet Pepsi was smooth and tasty. I ended up ordering another one and it was just as good. The Pollo was great. It had a good amount of ingredients. The Chorizo was fantastic. All of the ingredients came together to form a spectacular flavor. I added green sauce to it that was at the table and it perfected it. I added red sauce to it that was at the table and it wasn't too good. The service was good. I didn't have any issues. Overall, I had a great experience here. I would definitely go again.

The cute, small dining room is filled with true Latin soul and good ambience as well. I got the steak burrito dinner and my wife got the cheese enchiladas both came out right away after we sat down.

I don't think it's been open for too long, but it's already serving up some of the best quesabirrias and tacos de canasta I've ever had. The quesabirrias are perfectly crispy on the outside, loaded with tender, flavorful birria, and come with a rich consommé that takes them to the next level. The tacos de canasta are just as impressive--soft, packed with flavor, and exactly what you want for a quick, satisfying bite. I've been coming here every Sunday for the past month, and I've lost count of how many times I've stopped by during the week. If you're looking for a great deal, they have $1 tacos de canasta on Wednesdays, which makes it even harder to stay away. The service is friendly, the food is consistently great, and the prices are more than fair. Oh and you can grab a michelada while you're at it!

So happy I stopped in this cute little Mexican restaurant!!…read more Decided to stop in for lunch on a Friday right after they opened. I was sat quickly and I informed them I was in a rush but would love to eat quickly. The accommodated and my food was out in under 10 minutes. I ordered the bierra dinner with rice and beans and boy it was so good!! The beans and rice were incredible some of the best I've had at a Mexican restaurant. My main gripe is the music! Almost took a star off for it. It's incredibly loud. Needs to come down by 50% at least. Overall would definitely come back here and recommend it!

The lamb did not taste like how it usually did and the tacos were pretty dry. The service was good. They predominantly speak Spanish be sure they are transparent with you about what it is that you were paying for. My order was correct. The ambience of the place was clean. There were a lot of pick up orders in there along with me during lunchtime hour. This is definitely my sign to try something else on the menu. You can't go wrong with your order here. Just communicate to them if you like your meat more juicy let them know if you like it more dry let them know. The next time I go I'll be sure to communicate that to them.
