Birrieria El Patron 323

Pretty good birria tacos! I opted for the tacos rojos, which are without cheese. (Not the super popular quesabirria style this time.) The tacos were flavorful and the sides (including consomé) were great additions. The service was fast and friendly! I ate inside the restaurant, not at the truck. I'll be back!

This Mexican food restaurant, @birrieriaelpatron323 in the downtown Raleigh, NC area, is the real deal. Authentic food served up fresh. We tried the taco rojo (3) and the Torta. These drinks are out of this world. You must experience this. The Horchata I'm holding is in a food service container. It's a huge drink. All of the Agua Fresca come in this container with fun toppings added to the lid depending on order. Our tacos and tortas were so delicioso!! My son said that this place and @lacostenita2022 in Greensboro, NC are tied for best Mexican food in North Carolina. We visited on a Saturday and the food trucks out front were grilling fresh meats that smelled so good and customers were having their meals at the picnic tables. It was a nice Weekend vibe with mariachi playing on the loud speakers in the parking lot. I hope to be back soon!! I'm always craving good Mexican.

I have always wanted to try this spot but never had the time. You know a spot is good when you find people from that same ethnicity or region patronizing the place. I went around lunch time and it was packed. I ordered the Tacos went to the car, eat it all and came back and ordered some more! Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the tacos but I do have of the fried tilapia and I can tell you it was hot, fresh and delicious!

The place has an unique style and it works for them. I am from San Diego and lived 9 years in Tijuana..... so I've had better birria tacos. I wasn't fully impressed but better than most places on the east coast. Friendly staff.

Love their taco rojos! I've introduced a lot of my friends here already and they love it! This is definitely the spot for the best tacos in town!

Authentic and fresh. I got the queso birria tacos with churros and they were so delicious! I also got the pina agua frescas and they're definitely not stingy with the amount they give you. Will definitely be back!

Just moved here and lemme tell you! For our first round of tacos, these were delicious!! I got their birria tacos and they were delicious. It comes with radishes,cucumbers, cilantro and onion on the side! And this little hot sauce that is soooo good! Like a smoky spicy sauce. I was so hungry I took no photos and devoured it but I will be back and will update this post! Highly recommend!

With the sudden popularity of birria tacos, I've been dying to try some. My friend recommended this food truck and after seeing on their website that they had birria ramen (!!), that sealed the deal - I had to come here. We actually ordered inside in the actual restaurant, not the food truck. My friend and I got an order of Taco Rojo (3 tacos for $10), a Birria Quesadilla ($9), and the Birria Ramen ($12). The Birria Ramen was amazing and super flavorful. The noodles seem like your typical instant ramen noodles, but the soup was so flavorful and paired really well with the birria. The quesadilla was also great, especially when you dip it into the consommé.I wish I had gotten the Queso Tacos instead of Taco Rojo, since the Taco Rojo just comes with the pulled meat inside the taco shell - if you want cheese, order the Queso Tacos! Each order of tacos/quesadilla came with some cucumbers, onions, and cilantro. They also include a couple of their red salsas, which added a great amount of spice.

This is such incredible food. I think my friend asked if I wanted lunch and offered to get it just as an excuse to eat here.

Great food and fast service ! You won't regret trying this place . Full of flavor and a good amount of food. You definitely get your money's worth at this place
