4.0
I’ve always passed by this restaurant and wanted to give it a try, so I ordered the birria tacos. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed the tacos were plain and lacked flavor. I also got the broth to go with them, but it was overly greasy and contained only onions and cilantro. I won’t be ordering from here again. - maria lopez
