Decided to take a drive for the birrieria ramen and otw I tried placing my order and couldn’t place it without card over the phone(I have cash) and get there and absolutely no parking. That’s why they empty now. Almost 20min drive wasted. Should’ve took the 30 at don luis. At least I know the ramen is bomb and I can park my car to get my food. Smh

This place is plumbing -like an Astro fall out of the sky. The food is so salty. The portions are very small and the prices have gone up very high wouldn’t recommend it. and I used to love this place 😔

I fell in love with their ramon birria since my first try in 2021. Today, 2024, I purchased 2 ramon birria, and they were too salty for my taste. Attention to the chef/cook, please go back to your original recipe. Side note, I also noticed less birria in this dish as well. Will probably give them one more chance before I find another spot for ramon birria.

The food is really good but way over priced. They charge $12.00 for a burrito which is the size of 2 tom tom tamales. Come on

Para er sincero solo fuimos por la publicidad de la radio.
Pero nada que ver. Llegamos tardaron una eternidad en atendernos (en darnos el menu) y ni siquiera dieron totopos algo similar
Bueno por fin. Pedimos carne asada y una tampiqueña tomaron la orden
Regresaron al tiempo solo pasa decirnos que no tenían carne para la tampiqueña ni para el platillo de carne asada
Algo de no creer. Cambiamos todo por pollo
No nos trajeron tortillas, al tiempo llegaron.
Bueno es un lugar muy pequeño que no tiene nada de malo el tamaño
Pero por lo mismo fuera más fácil de atender al cliente supongo. No lo recomiendo.

The food is so good here worth the money. Some people forget that with good quality comes a little higher prices. Service is amazing Maria took my order and she was very helpful and nice i have also had another young girl serve me and she is also very nice. Good atmosphere. Go to place for tacos! The parking can get a-little tight but all in all i give this place a 9/10.

I see this place has a 3.9 rating. Hmmm, I didn’t think it was bad. Who cares if the place is small? I thought it was cozy. Employees were nice and took care of my order pretty quick. Waited maybe almost 10min. perhaps?

I picked up an order of 3 quesabirria tacos and an order of rice and beans on the side, came with the consume. Tacos were normal size, right amount of meat and cheese and a small cup of consume, believe me it is more that enough unless you’re chugging it with every bite of your taco. It was definitely flavorful. I think I saw a sign that said they’re #9 in Chicago for quesabirria? Maybe so, but truth be told this is the second spot I’ve tried for quesabirria in the city.

Here’s the negatives:
Not enough cebolla and cilantro to cover 3 tacos. It was more cebolla than cilantro. And the side order of rice and beans was literally a child like serving. You can’t be tight with the rice and beans. They also gave me 1/4 lime wedge, I needed more juice for the other two tacos. You can’t be tight with the limes. I saw a review of someone who took a pic of their takeout container and they had more rice and beans! I was a little jealous.

I’d go back since I live in the area. My total was $16. I do have a go to place for quesabirria, but that’s for a different review. Excuse the pic but I was hungry lol.

A year ago this place was nice,but now the QuesaBirria tacos are hard & almost meatless with no cheese,I'm a frequent customer & I noticed patterns on chefs & cashiers,some days the Ramen is spicy,thick or watery,cashiers are rude when you ask to make sure the consome is in the bag & gets mad & try to speak in Spanish,blacks know Spanish but not all can hold their composure.For those reasons I won't be going back ,plus there's no parking, Consistency on the chefs recipe and fire all the young cashiers

THE PIZZABIRRIA WAS AMAZINGLY AMAZING! IT WAS EVERYTHING I HOPED IT WOULD BE. IT'S LITERALLY ENOUGH TO FEED 4 PEOPLE. THE SLICES ARE NICE SIZED AND THE MEAT TO CHEESE RATIO WAS PERFECT. I ORDERED QUESABIRRIAS TO GO AND THEY WERE JUST AS GOOD TOO.
DINORAH WAS SO GRACIOUS AND KIND.... THANK YOU!

Never coming here again - even after giving them another chance after a terrible UberEats experience, too!

I thought this place would be great because the 47th Street location is so amazing, they have trending items like Quesabirrias - but don't be fooled! The food is poorly prepared and (I hate to say this) it's disgusting.

I ordered the Birria Ramen and my sister ordered the Milanesa. The noodles for my ramen took forever to soften; the birria/soup was soooo thick, and when the noodles finally softened it thickened the soup more making it a disgusting glob.

My sister ordered a milanesa but it was so oily and not fresh at all. It had the markings of the grill. So they pre-cook it, let it sit, and when it's ordered they oil the grill again and re-cook it. This just makes it hold so much oil. To top it off, it had no flavor. Seems they didn't even have salt.

I should have known this place was a bust when they gave me all the salsas but chips would be an extra charge. Why put the salsas out then? To drink?

Their parking doesn't make sense; the salsas, their food - nothing. Please close.

I forgot to mention that their Submarine neighbors must hate them because they have a tow truck ready to take any of their customers cars who park next to the building. Their signage is not clear in the parking lot, and the sign on the door is a long letter to God which nobody reads.

My 1st experience was not that great , they don't answer the phone at all , I wanted to place a order for pickup due to covid and my time . I get there the employees are having a conversation in the middle of the restaurant with no customers. I ordered queso birra tacos and Im sorry to say they were not good , they are very very very small and they include little to no meat !! Birra tacos are know for having tons of meat and they barley had any and the meat had no flavor. The lady at the register seem to have an attitude when I ask for a fork and spoon.

this lives for the hype, if you are looking for non goat beef tacos quasobirra with the dipping soup. They do not skimp on the meat and the food is cooked to order. 1 taco is 4 dollars but if you get the 4 quasobirra plate you save like 3 bucks. Im not convinced that these are the best, but they are good and worth dishing out the 💰...
