Clean and yummy birria, was impressed how flavorful it is but not heavy or oily. The aguas are yummy as well tried the orange and carrot juice, it was fresh and a good mix. Will stop here again.

I like hidden gems and this place has that gem flavor. The meat is just juicy, flavorful and primed to fill you up. Prices may seem higher than street vendors, but you're sitting in a fun and bustling area out of the sun. Eating food made fresh from the kitchen The hot sauces are amazing. That Horchata is not too sweet which is perfect. I got the tacos birria de res and carne asada Were almost perfect. I think they were on point for tacos, but I wasn't sure what it was missing. The fat and juices were what most LA food trucks lack, but I think I would like a few more options for toppings. But that's me being greedy and an American. Definitely Chek this place out and shop around the area.

After shopping and exploring around the plaza, we decided to give this place a try for lunch. We liked that they accept credit card, especially since we were just visiting Tijuana for the day. I decided to keep it simple and order a goat quesadilla and it was delicious. The meat was tender and the cheese was rich and soft

Excellent place inside the Hidalgo market. Homemade birria with all the fixins and great service! Excellent place to grab a quick bite while shopping in the market.

Good food. Menu has many delicious items. Place to sit and eat comfortably and restroom to use on site. They were so nice with my father. The restroom is upstairs but my father is elderly. When they saw him getting ready to go upstairs they of offered him an alternative restroom downstairs not for public use.
