    Birria Grilled Cheese- Includes a 12oz consomm
    Jon B.

    Service was so homely and inviting . Ambiance was decent it had a certain atmosphere to it. The food was as good as people say though I'd love to try more of the menu.

    I ordered for pickup and they were ready on time. Super friendly people. The burrito is greasier than I'm used to. The ramen was interesting. I think I'm just not used to that kind of flavor, but it was still very good. The way they package everything is so thoughtful.

    Stopped in before a comedy show because our friend wanted the gingerbread torta. It was so cute we felt obligated to get it! The bread was beautiful but overall it definitely did not have a lot of meat on it to be $25. We waited an hour for to go, but it was a pretty busy night. We got the birria tacos as well which had yummy crispy tortillas but the flavors of the meat weren't like the birria we had the weekend before. The consommé made up for it. I would try it again when we weren't in a hurry, but not sure I would buy the $25 sandwich again. The cucumber chia seed drink was so refreshing! Our friends got the marzipan horchata and it was THICC. Very sweet.

    Tortas &  Birria Ramen Combo- Includes One Quesabirria
    Madeleine A.

    Filling birria full meal! We got a hot chocolate horchata, birria ramen with quesobirria, & birria torta! The server was attentive & patient with how busy it was around dinner time. It's a sit yourself shop so you are at will of the people in there. Luckily we found a spot & were able to eat the meal within an hour time frame. I loved the plate designs & the food was presented beautifully. It was very filling & flavorful. There was some cheese pulls too! The birria ramen broth was thicker than the consome. Both soups good but made the ramen very heavy.

    We decided to go try out Tacotlán after seeing it all over TikTok! The inside is busy, but we were sat immediately. They have an extensive birria menu that I think is the main reason for all of the hype! The birria ramen was huge! The food came out piping hot and was delicious. I had the build your own burrito with Al pastor and added avocado. The food tasted authentic and had loads of flavor. They also have tons of agua fresca flavors! I had the tamarindo. Overall the service was friendly and speedy! It was a rainy day, but the patio outside looked cute.

    3 birria tacos for $19.94. I feel like there should be more to go with this besides the consommé.

    Okay, let me start by saying that as far as the location goes, it reminds me of a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall type place. There weren't too many tables, the floor was damaged and the overall appearance was a bit dingy. The service was nice and friendly. The food was good. I was expecting "great", based upon all the other reviews here on Yelp. It was decent. The birria tacos satisfied my hunger but not my cravings. I also felt that it's a bit overpriced.

    Ordered some food for delivery and was pleasantly surprised! The food was made quickly and was well-packaged. I loved that it's a birria-heavy menu. I ordered the birria grilled cheese and was not disappointed. Tons of meat!! Though I wish there was a bit more cheese. My partner got tacos and they were pretty tasty, though nothing spectacular. Am definitely interested to try some more of their menu items!

    Came across Tacotlon on DoorDash and wanted to try a new taco spot. When you can't decide but definitely want birria the sampler is a great option! I was only able to eat 2 tacos (chicken and steak) and very full. The consume tastes better when you add the salsa and stir really well, dip, and enjoy! I will definitely order from here again!

    Birria Dinner
    Uche N.

    We ordered takeout from Tacotlan and it was pretty good. I heard it was a bit better before, nevertheless, I enjoyed my meal. I ordered the birria taco special and my friend ordered a few tacos. The birria taco deal was around $17 for 3 tacos and a small side of rice and beans. I would say this is on the pricier side for tacos outside of downtown. I felt like the rice and beans were pretty bland, so I recommend skipping those. Pick up was very easy and the staff inside was kind. The restaurant itself seems pretty small, but there appears to be a few tables for dine in. Pretty good and I would probably eat it again.

    Great local restaurant! I've always heard good things so I decided to come with some friends. Space is very lively and the staff are super friendly. We came on a sunday in the early afternoon, the wait was about 20ish minutes for a group of 3, so not bad. I got the chilaquiles, and they were delicious. Nice and crispy, lots of flavor. I hope to come back again and try the birria!

    Came here twice because of the ratings and it's family owned and they're known for their birria tacos. During The first visit, we gave the birria beef tacos a try and those were excellent. I enjoyed the consomme which comes in a tall Styrofoam cup. FYI, Their Mexican style cooking is from the region Northwest of Mexico City. We also enjoyed the steak burritos, carne asada tacos and lengua (beef tongue tacos), which were so very, very soft. It's street parking and byob and expect a lot of local amigas y amigos. Great service from the daughters who are very much hands on in running the business.

    I got the 3 quesabirria tacos with consumme and it was amazing! I've been wanting to try for a long time, I ended up ordering on Ubereats. They had a happy hour for 25% off which was great as well (2-5pm)

The aguachiles were easily our favorite -- super fresh and full of flavor, with really well-balanced ingredients. You can tell the food is made to order and not rushed. The chips and salsa were also way better than your typical starter. The chips came out warm and crisp, and the salsa was smooth, flavorful, and super addictive. We also tried a few drinks, and they were excellent -- well-made, not overly sweet, and a great way to start the night before heading to the game. Our server was amazing -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They kept checking in at all the right times and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable even with the pre-game crowd. Definitely a great spot to hit anytime you're in the area looking for solid Mexican food and a fun vibe.

Starting with margaritas (because obviously ‍), queso and chips that were dangerously good, and the chicken empanadas that came out perfectly crispy with so much flavor. We kept looking at each other after every bite like "okay wait... THIS is the best thing here" and then another plate would arrive and prove us wrong again The carnitas fried rice??? I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. So savory, flavorful, comforting, and packed with crispy carnitas on top with the eggs and pickled onions... literally unreal. And then the skirt steak tacos absolutely stole the show. The steak was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired so perfectly with all the toppings and sauces. Every single bite tasted fresh and homemade in the best way possible. And can we talk about the ambience for a second because WOW. The music, the energy, the vibe inside, everyone celebrating, the drinks flowing -- it felt like the perfect Cinco de Mayo dinner spot.
