Excellent Birria Tacos!! The corn tortillas so fresh, cheese ooey gooey, meat super tender, broth perfectly spiced. Dining area was very clean, salsa bar had lots of options, and staff were so accommodating. My mom eats like a toddler so they made her a special non spicy beef taco, after she told them the chicken was too spicy, no charge. 10/10 recommend! We will be back, without my mom

This is the best birria I've tried in Seattle!! So juicy and flavorful and they have a salsa bar so you can customize your food. The restaurant is small and has nice decoration and the woman who took our order was very nice. We had a great meal for a good price and we will be back!

Great food, ambiance and service! Our food came out within 10 minutes and the portions are HUGE! I got the Birria Ramen and I swear half of it was filled with meat. I absolutely devoured the chicken taco and the queso-birria looked delectable-- perfect golden brown. Everything was well-seasoned and all of the vegetables/greens (onion, cilantro, salsas, etc) tasted really fresh. The lady at the counter was very sweet and kind. She let us know where everything was (water, sauces, etc) and was very patient while we were deciding what to get. All tables and entire dining area looked very clean as well, I would really recommend this place to those who live near the Ave!

I love the tacos and mulitas. The salsa bar is awesome. The whole is experience is awesome every time! Yummy!

A very cute space with fun music and a lovely hostess. I tried the quest-birria taco combo (3 tacos and consommé) and couldn't be happier. Crispy taco shell, stuffed with tender beef and perfectly melty cheese. The combination of textures adorned with the warm, flavorful consommé was everything I could have asked for on a cold Winter evening. Looking forward to trying everything else on the menu!

If I could recommend one Mexican restaurant in Seattle, it'd be this one! They specialize in birrieria and have a focused menu, but their beef and pork protein options are both well seasoned and not overcooked. The portion sizes are huge. When I get the burrito I usually have lunch leftover for the next day. They have nice seating inside with seasonal decor.

My boyfriend and I shared some queso birria and al pastor tacos yesterday, and overall, we enjoyed the experience. The tacos were great, though the birria wasn't the best we've ever had--it is the best we've found in Seattle so far, which says a lot. We wouldn't go out of our way for them, but if we're in the area and craving tacos, we'll definitely be back. That said, they really do load up the tacos, which I appreciate, and the consomé was flavorful and delicious. I also loved the self-serve salsa bar--it's always a nice touch. The service was exactly what I needed: quick and efficient, nothing over the top. As for the ambiance, it's a solid spot for a quick, casual dinner with friends--comfortable and perfect for a taco fix.

I loved the environment! The restaurant had great decor, optimal space, and friendly/efficient staff. The presentation of the food was lovely and everything looked very pleasing. The birria itself was pretty good. Comparing it to birria I have had before, it was not as flavorful, and the consome was a bit bland. However, I would definitely go again when I am craving some birria.

Wow, thanks to other Yelpers and fellow Elite/IGer Carol C, for putting this spot on my radar screen! Because of other perishable items I had in the car, I could not dine onsite at this upper Ave (56th & University Way/UDistrict) spot. This used to be a Brazilian spot, soup site, and burger joint...now home to a great indie, Birrieria Pepe El Toro. Angled 2 hour street parking out front and on Metro bus routes. Very comfy with AC and definitely Frida Kahlo forward interior decor. Welcoming person at the main counter. Ordered the Queso Birria Quesadilla as takeout ($16). This came with cucumber slices, red & green salsa, lime wedge, consumé, and a very generously sized filled quesadilla. It had the best of both worlds of my fave quesadilla spot near Gas Works Park & my fave birria spot in Burien. Succulent, flavorful, omg hit the spot! I look forward to dining onsite, but good to taste the quality from this takeout order!

We were looking for the food truck and was pleasantly surprised to find their dine in restaurant that has been opened since February 2024. In search of birria tacos, this place hit the spot. We got the quesa birria tacos, birria quesadilla and combo sampler. The three of us were quiet while eating, so that tells me we all enjoyed the meal! The birria seemed like it could use a little more seasoning. The accompanying hot sauce helped to add some heat. The watermelon with cucumber agua fresca was refreshing. Horchata is my daughter's go to. Service was friendly and prompt.
