No place to sit so be prepared to wait for your order or order ahead. Joe will keep you entertained while you wait. Food is made to order, fresh !! We picked a birria bowl, corn in a cup and churro cheesecake. All was delicious!

Without a doubt, I would recommend this joint to anyone looking for a different experience. From the moment we pulled in parking lot, you could feel the vibe was gonna be on point. We were greeted by Joe and he was very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. He gave us the run down and shared a bit of their history which was exciting. Everything and i mean EVERYTHING is fresh and prepared fresh to order. Youre not gonna an atmosphere like this anywhere else. You’ll leave feeling like you’re part of the family. The food smelled delicious, and tastes even better. The different horchata flavors are out of this world. Tiramisu coffee horchata has gotta be the best thing since sliced bread. We live about an hour away and it was so worth the drive. We will definitely be making the trek back out this way very soon. Check them out on TikTok and show some love!

I got the Birria Burrito and it came with a side of consomè. It was delicious and a big portion! The meat was so tender and consomè so flavorful! Not to mention the fire hot sauce #7 & #13! Also got the Birra Tacos Platter which was also delicious! Great Food, Atmosphere, & Great People! Especially Dad cooking all the food in the Kitchen!

Amazing experience here. The food was incredible. The staff were knowledgeable and welcoming. The Son that greeted us walked us through the entire menu and options along with the family story that got them to this current spot. You can tell that this isn’t just food that they prepare. They take great pride in the product that they make for their customers and love what they do! This is a must visit spot and will be on my families monthly rotation!

This place was recommended to me by my cousins and one of my coworkers, so I had to check it out. I got 3 birria tacos, beans and rice, and regular horchata. They also threw in 3 levels of hot sauce (13.2 is where it's at!). Everything was DELICIOUS and the owners are awesome! I don't leave reviews often, so the fact that I'm leaving this shows how much of an impression this place left on me. I will definitely be returning and bringing my coworkers and friends along!

My son is in the hospital in Winfield and my husband went out to get food and they didn't disappoint. La Birria Loca has some of the best Birria dishes that I have had. They give you plenty of sauces and the toppings to put on your food. They put the limes on the side with the sauces, which is a plus for me as most places put them on your food. The meat was well flavored, tender and moist. Both the Quesabirria (Birria quesadilla) and the Birria Tacos with very good and had the right amount of cheese. The beans are good the sour cream was great and taste homemade. The rice was cooked well just needed a little toppings to hit the spot. My husband tried all the sauces and he really enjoyed them. I tried the #4 and I could use a #2 lol my spice level is low but it was good. My husband gives it a 10/10 and I say I have to agree.

Huge, delicious breakfast burritos! We will be back to try more items from the menu. We are staying at CDH across the street for our pregnancy and this place really delivers on flavor and customer service. Highly recommend if you're in town or having to visit or stay at CDH.

This place is so dam good; CHUCK NORRIS himself would give it a thumbs !! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As soon as I walked in, they treated me as if I was family. I told him it was my first time and he explained to me that everything they have is grass fed Halal no microwave no fryers. And boy let me tell you what their food proves it. The tacos are out of this world. The elote is absolutely perfect. And for those of you who are fans of the drink, and Jamaica know that there is a powder version and the real version that comes from the flowers - I can tell you firsthand that this is handmade no powder no sugar no added garbage! They even gave me extra hot sauce to take to home to try! Now thats service! These guys are super friendly, super amazing local business. Please support them. You will not regret the food!
