So even though it looks amazing , this is the driest taco on the driest tortilla that I have ever had ever with or without salsa. However the quesadillas are excellent and the horchata is delicious, but the price point is ridiculous even for people like myself who love love love supporting private business. They add all sorts of ridiculous taxes that the business itself should be paying to your bill, not to mention they are not a full-service restaurant.

BYOB fast casual Mexican food that is consistently super tasty and fresh. The veggie burrito, pescado tacos, steak plate, elotes and chicken tortilla soup are my go-tos and haven’t disappointed me yet. The people that work here are friendly and every time I’ve been there the dining room and restroom are both clean. Oh and pro tip there’s a liquor store next door for all your BYOB needs!

Update: The Mole Fries are where it's at. One of the best things about stopping in this little BYOB, aside from the fresh made tortillas, aside from the high-quality meat, aside from the friendly staff and quick to-go service, aside from the basket of tortilla chips and salsa for the table and aside from the fair prices is the fact that it is next to a liquor store. Stop in for a Grapefruit tallboy White Claw and get a few tacos on the way home from the burbs. Absolute perfection. I can't say enough good things about this place.

They’re tacos are perfecto! Dining area is spacious and clean, and their team is welcoming and kind. Definitely making this one of my go-to’s!

I love the Taco Birrias they are so good Staff is friendly and the restaurant is always clean!

The food here is so good, everyone that works there so nice and pleasant, the sauces they make are off the charts. I just wish they would get a nicer garbage receptacle. I want to throw up when I have to throw my food out. It is just disgusting. It is something that you could never clean to be perfect. It is just a bad garbage receptacle.

Pastor tacos, they give you a lot of fat and one tortilla, they used to give two. I called back and told them about the fat and the answer was "SORRY THAT'S HOW IT IS TODAY"

Great food, good portions, nice and clean atmosphere. Modernized Mexican restaurant.Had the fish tacos, a corn in a cup, and I had to try their mole fries. Fish tacos where awesome, they put a chipotle salsa on them which was nice! Corn was warm, sweet and juicy and the mayo, cheese and powdered chile really gave it a kick. I was expecting more out of the Mole fries but the potatoes it self was a little to bland for me. It was good, I just expected more. My opinion.

The price does not match what they give you. Ordered a total. Got more bread in the sandwich then meat. Which is the whole point of the meal. For their price you should be able to get more.

Food was amazing and the service was even better. We were only in Chicago for a few hours and we were so happy we stopped here.
