Everything I've had here is so good! PIZZACOA!!! Get the small for two people if it's lunch. (not pictured)Quesabirria Tacos? To die for.Just recently had the Parrillada which was pretty intense. 4 kinds of meat plus onions, peppers and cactus.Pictured is Parrillada, 4 quesabirria Tacos, rice, beans, and Pinacoda.

Hands down the best in town!!! My coworkers and I come here at least once a month for lunch. Photo below, tripe tacos! Yummmmm

I would give the food 5 stars because it is pretty good. However, how has no one else mentioned how moldy their soda machine is??? I’ve gone multiple times and the last time I was there, I decided to get a fountain drink as well and that’s when I noticed how filthy the machine is. Staff tends to be pretty friendly, except for one time when of the cooks who was upset because I ordered quesabirria tacos and was complaining that they take too long. *shrugs*

best Mexican barbacoa in town with hand made tortillas and rice

This is an updated review because the last three times I’ve been here, the older women were extremely short towards me and plain rude. I was a regular here pre-pandemic. I’ve gladly recommended this place as the best but the customer service is terrible. Their horchata is gross. And the tortillas are hardly anything rave about. When you go here, you’re spending at least $40 before tip, so I should at least get a thank you or a smile! ?

This place is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in the area.. being Mexican and from Arizona it's hard to find good Mexican food here. I always have to cook. The Birria here is made with goat, the way its supposed to be! ? I've never ate at the restaurant and always do take out and I love it. It's also not over priced like all of the other Mexican restaurants.

Best tamales in Tacoma! Fast and friendly service, plus the make their own tortillas.

Great menu selections. Bright & clean atmosphere. Quick & friendly service. HOrdered the pizzacoa, corn in the cup, & tacos. Food is good but lacks seasoning.We'll probably go back

Chicken in my quesadilla was very salty. Quesobirrias and consome had zero flavor. Staff was very nice though.

Beef tamales arrived hot and so good!! Gracias!!Yummy
