Got the loaded beef burrito and had no clue it came with birria consommé and melted cheese on the outside of the tortilla. But listen... am I glad they made those upgrades? ABSOLUTELY. Without all that extra love, the burrito is already a solid contender. With it? They pushed this thing into a whole new tier of delectableness... like "love at first bite" good. Side note for my sodium-conscious folks: The consommé recipe has glowed up since the last time I tried it here (maybe 1-2 yrs ago). Back then it was flavorful but WAY too salty... the kind of salty that triggers migraines and has your ankles looking like they're prepping for Q4 retention bonuses. Now, it's perfectly balanced, plays nice with your bloodstream! #winning (side side note: I might be confusing my past experience with the birria ramen) Cost to Benefit Analysis: $81 for 3 loaded burritos, 1 loaded chicken nacho, 1 piece of tres leches cake, and 3 waters is no small sum of dinero. But considering our high level of satisfaction with order efficiency, taste, presentation and portion size, my family has zero regrets on this visit. Won't hesitate to come again, occasionally. read more

I am adorned in gold from head to toe I wear a flock as white as snow I can't go out until I'm grilled to perfection My choice of perfume is a spritz of lime Sprinkle some chili powder and I'm good to go What am I? Answer: A Mexican Street Corn (Elote) Original poem written by Pamela L. and not AI Here is what we ordered from our first two visits here at Birria Kitchen. - Elote - Birria Tacos w/cheese ($1.00 extra) - Birria Ramen (be warned that this is quite a heavy dish) Everything is served piping hot, even the consommé. The item I go crazy for are their Elotes. I love corn on the cob and have had many Elotes that I thought was only okay. OMG, these are thee BEST!!!! It has just the right amount of mayo, creaminess and seasoning. The corn is sweet. Don't share, get your own and nibble away. Definitely worth a visit for some good Birria. The lovely young lady working in the front is super friendly. Plenty of parking available. read more

Birria Kitchen in Edison is a small, cute place that is clean and quiet, with very friendly staff. We ordered beef birria tacos with cheese, a birria bowl, Mexican street corn esquites, and two passion fruit juices. The food was very flavorful and we enjoyed every bite, but it was a bit salty, so make sure to drink plenty of water. The passion fruit juice was refreshing, but not enough to balance all the salt. Overall, I really recommend this place, and next time I'll just order more water. read more

Bit of an overdue review because I came here a while ago, but the juicy, cheesy and rich beefy birria tacos are worth the trip. Don't skip the delicious consomme to dip your tacos.

My new go to Birria and taco place. This place is unbelievable good. I have been trying to find a Birria place that didn't cost an arm and a leg, and I found it! The portions are big, clean, filling, and CHEAP. 4 tacos are about $14, compare to other places where I paid $25 for 3 tiny tacos. There is only chicken and beef, and as a person who only eats halal it made me soooo happy. I didn't have to worry about there being a ton of pork on the menu! This place is super lowkey, hidden from the world but super trendy and spacious inside. Definitely great for meeting up with friends to overeat great food. The consommé was hot and flavorful, and if you needed more of a kick, they had a hot sauce station! The staff was very kind and helpful with all the questions and when we came back for a second round of tacos! This is the type of place to order everything on the menu with your friends and go crazy. I highly highly recommend and I will be back! read more

This review is pending from July, I went here for lunch on a weekday with a friend around ~2pm and it wasn't busy although they had folks coming for takeout. Service was average - she answered our questions but wasn't super friendly nor mean, just average. Ambiance is fresh and clean. The food was good but felt like it lacked flavor or punch. I will come back again to give it another chance. read more

I love a restaurant that focuses on one kind of food and does it perfectly. The menu at Birria Kitchen is small and I applaud that! I've eaten in here multiple times and gotten takeout just as many times. Customers order and pay at the counter and can get bottled beverages from the refrigerator case. I'm happy that the restaurant offers Starbucks bottled drinks. The flavors in all the tacos are satisfying and the portions are good. I usually get a Mexican street corn along with my tacos. There's a very small free parking lot. The restaurant is in a little strip mall next to a pizzeria. read more

I have only done takeout and am always pleased. The food is fresh and packed with care. The combos are a good size and full of flavor.

Place was decent, more of in a hidden away location and I didn't know this existed in Edison. The store is decently sized and very organized. The one thing I didn't like was that how cold it was inside the actual restaurant, I did bring a jacket but still felt like it was too windy with too many fans on. You order upfront and then sit at the tables and the waitress brings your food, services is decent and the staff cleans right after the customers leaves. Now time for the food, I've had plenty of tacos and I feel like these are decent, taste way better with the spicy green sauce. My husband got the burrito and said it was average. We would be down to come back and try other food items in the future. Hopefully they expand the menu a bit more. read more

This was an ok place. I got the street corn on the cobb, hot Cheetos corn on the co b, birria tacos, 2 chicken and 2 beef, churros, and a tres leches cake.

Very welcoming but the birria tacos are tiny and kinda overpriced in my opinion. Although the birria tacos taste alright the price of them is what makes it not worth it since youd need 9 tacos to feel some what full. 2.5/5 read more

Can't wait to come back & try the other delicious looking food!! Thanks for making my granddaughter's Day!! read more

Quick and casual spot for some tasty birria tacos. I love how the menu is simple and straightforward, and you know that also means they've worked hard to perfect what they offer. The birria tacos are definitely the star of the show! I ordered the combo of 4 beef tacos with cheese (+ consome), which had tender, flavorful meat and wasn't too greasy as I would've expected it to be. The consome is a bit salty on its own, but works out as a great dipping sauce for the tacos. I also tried the nachos, which is a solid appetizer for sharing. The restaurant also serves a variety of beverages, and their churros looked delicious - will have to try them next time! read more

Happy Thursday Adventurers! A friend of mine recommended this place recently and my gosh I'm so glad I went. Getting there wasn't hard, the parking lot is a little small and is shared with other food spots, so I imagine this would get packed real quick. I ordered the beef combo birria and my friend got the chicken combo birria. Both were so good but I prefer the beef because it's the more traditional style of meat. This place offers the birria with cheese, which I know a lot of people are torn over, but I really enjoy it with the cheese. Most dishes come with a side of consome to dip your tacos in--so savory and delicious! The tacos come with the normal lime, onions, and cilantro. They offer other bites and the jarritos drinks that I normally get at Mexican spots. I want to go back for the ramen, churros, and birria fries--literally all of my favorite foods. I ended up taking home some of the consome and making my own birria steak ramen at home. Highly recommend if you can a chance to try this place. It is a smaller spot but plenty of seating and outdoor seating is offered. read more

The best Birria tacos I've ever had!! I got the combo with half chicken & half beef with cheese! Make sure you ask for the salsa de verde on the side! Not a huge fan of the street corn. It wasn't anything special and tasted bland. The hot Cheetos was a wet texture and I couldn't really taste the hot Cheetos flavor. It's a nice casual place to grab a quick bite :) read more

The beef birria tacos are delicious. The consume is just right. The guacamole could be a bit better, but still a decent appetizer with their homemade chips. The rice and beans was also one of our favorite appetizers. My wife ordered the birria ramen and it was delicious. Just wished it had a bit more toppings, but the flavors were delicious!!!! read more

Ultra casual, no vegan option, and a very limited menu. Yet you will find their limited menu to be exceptionally satisfying because everything they make is delicious. I had their combo birria tacos. I was able to have 2 chicken and 2 beef. The way they cook them is so savory and the dipping sauce that it comes with, will make you smile and your tummy will be doing a happy dance. They claim you can sip their sauce after you finish their tacos and dang it, they were right! I also enjoyed their Elote "Mexican Street Corn" with hot Cheetos which is basically the best corn on the cob smothered in a hot buttery sauce with a thick coating of flaming hot Cheetos. Am I going to spoil my calories and enjoy this? You betcha! Do yourself a favor and just order these. You will be smacking your lips and licking your fingers as you eat this. For those who wish to eat more neatly, you can order yourself the Esquites (cup) and add hot Cheetos for an additional $1. You can pair down the heat with fresh mango, papaya, or guava juices. Other bottled and canned beverages are also available. The staff did not wear masks nor gloves but they do wear beautiful smiles. Hand sanitizer can be found near the cashier as you are paying either by charge or good old cash. read more

Been dying to try birria forever. Absolutely delicious. I don't have a comparison but these were well done and flavorful. Definitely recommend the cheese as it just really balances out the flavor. Also bonus kinda keeps all that goodness from dumping out all over the damn place. Four, two chicken two beef. Beef even better. I would drink the consommé it's amazing, complex flavors muddled together, it's warm and comforting and not greasy at all. This place is worth the stop. I like the vibe inside, my one suggestion maybe a little more recommending some popular choices people like or her recommendations, I'm an easy sell with a smile and food to back it read more

Get: Beef or Chicken Combo + Cheese, Elote, Churros and the Horchata This was my first time trying Birria tacos and I am a fan! This place is tucked away in a small strip mall in Edison. It has a small menu which I'm always a proponent of...I like when restaurants concentrate on what they do well. The Birria Kitchen does tacos very well. I got the chicken and beef tacos and split them with my date. Both were awesome, I like how the tacos shells are dipped in the consume or stew and are then cooked, making a nicely crisp soft taco shell. The meats were flavorful and I could definitely see myself craving their tacos in the future. We also tried the elote, churros and dulce del leche cake. I'd say go with the horchata and freshly fried churros and skip the dulce del leche. I'll definitely be back! read more

And one of many unfortunate days before I found myself too busy at work to stop for lunch and myself at about 3:00 p.m. haven't eaten since 7:00. And needing to stop for food. Loving. Tacos and seeing the name of this place it seemed like it would be a great fit to treat myself for lunch. I was driving home and it was on my way and there was a fair amount of traffic which felt like a good reason to stop. When I went inside there were two other guests dining. I walked straight up to the counter and ordered some tacos from the woman there. She was friendly and got what I ordered together fairly quickly. I was told I could sit wherever I want and she brought over my tacos shortly thereafter. Play came with three tacos and a bowl of the burial sauce. The sauce was so good that after I had finished my tacos it still had some left. I spent a good couple minutes contemplating if it would be rude to drink the broth. Figuring that it was more of a broth than a salsa and it was delicious. Would be a shame to go to waste. I sipped the leftover broth my content. Since coming here the first time I have often thought about coming back and who I would want to bring. It is fairly unusual for me to fantasy about coming back to a food place and bringing friends here so we can share the experience. If that isn't enough for you to want to try this place, I don't know what else I can say. read more

If you're a cheese lover than you'll probably let LOVE this. I'm not crazy about cheeses like that but have been wanting to know what Elote tasted like so I gave it a try. read more

What is Birria? Birria is a traditional ancestral soup or stew made from a combination of chili pepper-based meat, adobo, garlic, cumin, bay leaves, and thyme. Cooked at a low heat in a pot and refrigerated over night , the rendered fat is removed and saved to fry the corn taco shells into a flavorful crispy shell. The Birria Kitchen does this and does it well. The menu focuses on Birria style tacos, as well as several Mexican sweet treats, appetizers and beverages. We ordered the Combo and chose 2 beef and 2 chicken with cheese and the Hot Cheetos Mexican Street Corn. The tacos were fried crispy, filled with savory meat, topped with onions, cilantro and sides of lime slices and a cup of stew broth. The side cup of stew can be used to dip or eaten as a soup. The Street Corn was buttery and generously topped with crushed Hot Cheetos. We ate in and enjoyed our delicious traditional Mexican meal. A future visit will happen when the craving for Birria Style Tacos hit me. Notes: * Located on Talmadge Road which has lots of heavy truck traffic * Parking lot but is small * Indoor/outdoor dining available * Order at the counter. No wait staff. * Family run. Friendly staff. * Order the beef. It's more savory. read more

Food: I ordered the Birria Beef & cheese combo which came with (4) tacos and consume. $14.50 Asked if I could do (2) chicken (2) beef, she said yes. I received my food and it was (4) beef tacos, not a big deal. The Birria tacos were just ok imo, flavor was decent. I also ordered a Horchata $5 which was extremely sweet, would not recommend. Service: It's a order at the counter type of spot. I'm not sure how my total came out to $22.73. $19.50 + 7% tax doesn't add up. Not sure what the extra $1.87 was for. Price/portion: I feel like it was a bit overpriced for what I received. Ambiance: Located in a small plaza, restaurant was clean and had a good amount of seating. No complaints Overall: Would probably not return, unless I was really craving Birria tacos again. read more
