"Es un lugar muy bonito y acogedor, lo único que las sillas y las mesas son un poco incómodas y los tiempos aveces son un poco lentos según la hora . El ambiente es muy mexican grill y todas sus comidas son a base de birria. Me encantó su promo de los jueves de tortas de birria, no la consideraría su mejor plato pero están ricas y las promos recomendadísimas y más si eres estudiante. Los tortas de birria están deliciosos, pero en definitiva sus mejores platos son el burrito y los dorilocos. Además tienes una variedad de 5 picantes con diferentes niveles de picor, lo que hace que allá variedad para todos los gustos. La bebidas no son tan ricas como esperaba, les falta más sabor y diferencial mexicano."

"Pedí para recoger. El chico de la caja me atendió muy bien. Pedí unos nachos para llevar y me los empacaron muy bien separando cada uno de los elementos y para que los nachos se mantuvieran crocantes. Los tacos estaban ricos también. Leí que algunas personas comentaban que la comida estaba grasosa ....pero no es grasa: es el caldo de la birra. Me gustó es una buena opción para comer en la zona. Me encantó que solamente carne de res y no de cerdo"

"Los restaurantes son simples pero bien montados. Con un concepto y una identidad muy marcado. Todos los productos son de birria y son generosos en servirla. El caldo me pareció algo claro y no tan concentrado en sabor lo cual permite que comas mas sin hostigarte. Por lo mismo, los primeros bocados no son tan sorprendentes. No pediría la quesadilla pues no siento creo que aporte mucho. Su porción es chica y en general le falta tal vez algo de costra para que no sea tan simple."

"Para el precio están muy bien los nachos con birria pero en vez de queso cheddar sería mejor que le agreguen otro tipo de queso de verdad ya que queda con muchas salsas los totopos y se le pierde el sabor a la birria que en mi caso no le sentí ya que me hostigue con tanta salsa"

"Sitio agradable, con una muy buena atención donde se esfuerzan por ser amables y con un servicio muy rápido. El sabor de la birria es muy suave y está presente en varias preparaciones."

"Ofrecen variaciones del mismo concepto (birria) pero son las suficientes como para no aburrirse. Los tacos de birria con el caldo son muy ricos y las salsas que ofrecen también. El caldo solo no tenía tanto sabor y me parece que sirven demasiado para lo que uno normalmente necesitaría, pero de resto todo muy bien. El servicio fue bueno y nos atendieron muy rápido."

"Un restaurante recomendado con un tiempo de espera medio, comida y servicio adecuado, espacios reducidos un poco incomodos, pero es MUY recomendado en cuanto a lo más importante la comida, el burrito, Doritos y quesadilla de Arequipe son muy ricos aunque pequeños para mi percepción."
