“ This taqueria has legit tacos. Their tacos dorados de birria and consome are some of the best I've tried. Their tacos dorados de papa are a hidden gem I don't know the type of cheese they use, but it's super tasty. Flour tortillas are good; I've tried them with their tacos de tripa and lengua. Unlike most taquerias, their avocado and green salsas are equally spicy, and their red salsa is fire; way too hot for me. I had the Mexican burger and fries To-Go. It held well and had great flavor, unfortunately I can't say the same about their milanesa torta. I give it a 7 out of 10 because it's made up of more bread than anything. Their horchata is so good. The place is extremely busy on weekends. I waited 15 minutes in line without even being greeted, but the food is great, and I had good experiences during weekdays (Thank you, Yuri!!), so it didn't discourage me from going back. ”
“ They do it right here. The birria is cooked perfectly and they have a variety of options.. definitely go here, it’s on another level! ”
“ Great dine in experience. There is a sauce bar for dine in customers which I recommend over delivery. Birria ramen was fine, but not life changing. That is describing the dish not the preparation. Just not for me, but worth a try. Everything else was excellent and I would order again. The fries portion and taste was great. If possible I'd like to see the fries served on something else. It was a bit hard to get off the paper. Order was easy, payment was simple, and service was great. Fast and friendly. ”
“ I order out but the foods always been soo good! Usually I get the grilled cheese but this time I got their 40-45 birria box and got to try a little bit of everything. Ramen 9/10 is so soft n flavorful I liked it a lot, the noodles are soft but it gets cold fast. Grilled cheese 10/10 my favorite but not enough to fill you up with one if you're hungry so I get 2. Hard tacos 4/10 not as flavorful or juicy as everything else so far, meat was dry n chewy. I left these for last while eating cause everything else was better. Flautas 6/10 somehow more flavorful and juicier than the tacos but It did not come with your usual ensemble of lettuce crema etc. Quesadilla 8/10 sofy cheesy savory- a good go to. Mulitas 7/10 on the hard side but basically like quesadilla less cheesy still good. Jamaica was better than the horchata since the horchata tasted more like watered down milk. ”
“ My daughter wanted to take us here, it's her favorite birria restaurant. It lived up to her bragging, the food was so very delicious, with large portions!! ”
“ It was good my husband loved the combo number 4 I got the combo 3.. the Barbara tacos were delicious n cooked just right the Ramon has a lot of delicious flavor ”
“ ILLEGAL! First time ever trying birria pizza. I have no other places to compare it to but for me, it was absolutely delicious!!! Yummmmy I bet it's ILLEGAL in 48 of our 50 states or maybe just illegal in Dallas county lol come get you a birria pizza before the authorities take it off the menu !!! ok so a few things for the record 1. BE CAREFUL how you put this in your car. My backseat seats tilt up and so as the box sat there until i got back to work, grease was puddling into a certain area of the box and i ended up with grease in my car seat. If i were you ask the employee for a bag to put the box it in. Sure it won't cover the entire box but some protection is better than none and then id also say just put it in on your floor board to be safe so if it does leak it won't be on the seats. 2. LADIES if you're with your man.... This is not a meal you can be cute while eating. I'm as girly and feminine as they come even when eating but this is sloppy eating right here. no way around it with grease drippin and you dippin this juicy thang in the consume and the spicy salsas sheesh! 3. For those that have been curious like me as far as whether or not this is an actual pizza NO it's not... It's basically just a huge quesadilla. I wonder how this would taste though with actual pizza crust or oooh made into a Stromboli. Bet it would be good like that too. Anyway try it if you've been curious. It's TEW good. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. And in other news...After receiving unsatisfactory service from two employees a few weeks ago, I vowed never to return to this place. HOWEVER, things have changed! The sun is shining again and pointing me right to Taqueria Moctezuma lol I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to the owner of this establishment for your handling of my recent experience. I was truly impressed by your willingness to take accountability for what happened. Your care for customers and the reputation of your business is evident, and I deeply appreciate your candor and the way you addressed my concerns. It was very refreshing! Because of your efforts, you've won this customer back. Thank you again! ”
“ So the wife and I have been getting the birria grilled cheese delivered from here for a while now. Today was the first time I went to their restaurant and tried their food fresh, right off the grill.......and it was DIVINE. From the moment we walked in the staff was very inviting and explained the menu to us whenever we had a question. The lunch specials were listed and I decided to get the birria taco lunch special. In total I spent about 20 bucks; food, Mexican coke, and the tip. Sure it was a little expensive for lunch but I love to support my local businesses. The food was EXCELLENT and everything was delicious. We didn't have to wait long for our food and there was plenty of seating, especially during lunch which I appreciated. All in all it was a great experience and I'm glad I was able to enjoy the food fresh. You guys ROCK ”
