Never been here before decided to give it a try. They did not disappoint with friendly staff, fast service and the food was delicious. I will be returning very soon and bringing my family next time.
I casually found this place well in the neighborhood looking for some thing to eat. Not a bad choice. Very tasty Queso Birria. Friendly and fast service. Unfortunately I did see a lot of dodgy customers, so I didn't really feel safe but then again I was worrying a lot of Jewelry because I just came from a trip overseas and I'm heading home.
