I came here for my birthday dinner and overall had a great experience!…read more
We started with the House Salsa Tasting, which came with black bean refritos with cotija cheese, salsa macha, salsa roja, salsa borracha, salsa cruda (pico de gallo), and agave totopos. Every salsa had its own unique flavor, and they were all delicious. The chips were fresh and crispy, and we even ended up using some of the salsas with the rest of our meal because they were that good.
Next, we ordered the Beef Quesabirria, which came with braised beef, Oaxaca cheese, salsa cascabel, birria consommé, pickled red onion, white onion, cilantro, lime, and flour tortillas. These were absolutely incredible. The beef was tender, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The consommé was honestly a 10/10 and tied everything together.
We also tried the Chicken Tinga Quesabirria, which came with chicken tinga, Oaxaca cheese, salsa cascabel, chicken birria consommé, pickled red onion, white onion, cilantro, lime, and flour tortillas. These were just as enjoyable! The chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked really well.
To finish, we were surprised with complimentary churros because it was my birthday, which was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture. It was a great way to end the meal.
The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and the outdoor patio has a great atmosphere.
The only downside during my birthday visit was the service. We waited over 15 minutes just to get our drinks and another 15-20 minutes before anyone came to take our food order. There were quite a few long gaps throughout the meal. Our server was friendly, but I expected quicker service, especially for a Wednesday evening around 7 p.m.
That said, I actually returned a few days later, and the service was much better, so it seems like it may have just been an off night.
Overall, the food was outstanding and definitely the highlight of the experience. I'd absolutely come back for the quesabirria and salsa tasting!
