That being said, I highly recommend their menudo and I hope your experience is as good as mine.

Extremely disappointing portion size. The menu advertised birria as the main dish, but what I…read morereceived was mostly rice and beans with a very small serving of meat. Looking at the plate, it honestly feels like the rice is the entrée and the birria is just a side. The flavor was decent, but the portion of birria was nowhere near what I expected for the price. If you're ordering this expecting a hearty birria plate, be prepared to get a lot of rice and very little meat. I left feeling like I paid for a plate of sides rather than a birria meal. Would not order this again.

Be careful with some of the bad reviews here, Yelpers. It cannot possibly be the case that EVERYONE…read morehad to wait 45 minutes for their food. That is pretty sus to say the least. The Bautista family (which owns and runs the place) are fabulous - shout out to Christian, Danny, and Alex - and the food is simply superb. You can't beat the homemade tortillas (go with corn!), the adobada (my wife and oldest son are literally addicted to it), the carnitas...everything is top shelf. Eat in if you can because the food is better when it is hot and made to order. I am about to head there in a few minutes!

Everything i wanted to eat was not available at all! I was sourly disappointed! Its not too small inside and it had a very small outdoor seating. Its nice and looks authentic inside. My server was really nice. She was a sweetheart! My cabeza taco was pretty good. The meat was very soft and tender. The salsa is very mild. It practically had 0 spice but it tasted good. The burrito meat was also bland and my chille rellano was pretty cheesy and tasty. I only gave this place 3 stars bc who doesn't serve birria daily?? Lol!

The service was excellent and they started us out with chips drizzled with black beans and salad. Their hot salsa horchata was the best my Mexican mom ever had! Their hot salsa bar had mild, medium, spicy and extra spice and all of them were flavorful had brought good heat to the dishes. My family ordered enchiladas, chille relleno, birria plate and the vegetable burrito with fries instead of potatoes. YUMMM! Every l dish was a knock out -- super delicious. Even my finicky 10 year old niece loved her food. We finished with tres leches cake which was also super good. We ate so fast we forgot to take pics!

Complimentary chips and salsa. Chips are thicker than what I'm use to (not good or bad, just…read moredifferent). Salsa tasted fresh. Not spicy Ordered carne asada fries. $17.

We loved it so much that we brought our good friends and our daughter to share the same experience.

We were not disappointed. The food and the service was excellent as usual. I can't wait to go back. We highly recommend this restaurant.

We loved all the decorations. They were playing 80's music. Staff was attentive & the food was scrumptious. It was a total VIBE.

The micheladas are also the best out there, and is a big portion so I usually split it with my husband.

Our son recommended Main Street and we discovered 3 competing Mexican food spots closely situated. I saw this spot and they had me at the word authentic on the sign. We arrived around noon on a Thursday and the place was empty. The convenient drive through makes things easy but we went inside. She ordered Chile Relleno which came with rice and beans and I asked for a chicken enchilada and a crunchy hard shell machaca taco, (shredded beef) with double frijoles. Chips and salsa and 2 beers. It all came out hot and fresh and the beer was ice cold. The home made salsa Roja had the very best flavor and it had the habanero kick we were looking for...so look out. The chips were fresh but had a touch too much salt. If your in the mood for authentic Mexican food you need to visit this spot. The clean dining room has televisions and the booths are comfortable.
