About Our Birria

From the Kitchen

A Little Place on Summit Avenue

Exposed brick, folk-art tablecloths, and a staff that remembers your order. It feels less like a restaurant and more like someone's home.

Have been coming to this place before they moved to the new location. Their food has always been great and still is. Usually get the birria and it's always on point. Definitely recommend this place.

Best Birria I’ve ever had. Flavored to perfection. The Salsas added some wonderful heat and overall boost of flavors. 10/10 service. 10/10 food. Will be coming back.

The staff is SO friendly and welcoming. My boyfriend ended up getting their birria torta after an employee recommended it to us and he loved it. Their esquites is also incredible. This place feels like a hidden gem and if we lived in NJ, we would definitely become regulars!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The food here is exceptional. The braised beef was to die for. Amazing flavor. Highly recommend the birria tacos. The loaded carnitas nachos were spectacular. They also have great house made hot sauces. I got the braised beef rice plate and almost licked the plate clean.
