Birrieria Zaragoza

The staff here is so friendly while still professional! I really like their horchata iced coffee (seriously, I'm always just like take all my money for this).An of course - the Quesabirria Combo (w/Consommé) is an absolute must. Make sure you add their hot sauce. SO GOOD. Always so satisfying. Sure you might think it's overpriced than your average taco spot but it's worth it.

I tried this spot out towards the end of my Chicago trip, so I was suffering from a bit of a food coma at this point.That said, the birria here is excellent. I got 2 quesabirrias and they were probably the best I've ever had. The tender meat was decadent and the tortillas (homemade I think) were nicely crisped. My only regret was I definitely should have ordered some consommé to dip them in.Next time I'll come with an emptier stomach and take down a larger order.

Compact counter shop serving amazing meat. The vibe of the joint is like eating at a diner sans hamburger. But that's where it stops. Instead of milkshakes, Horchata. The menu is streamlined and they do birria well, like I would rate it in my top 5 and that's without trying the consommé. Instead of beef you'll find in most taco trucks and restaurants, it's the other ruminant meat, Goat. I'm a fan of goat and mutton, but one bite and you wouldn't think it was it. The flavor is relatively mild despite having a pepper based marinade. The meat melts in your mouth. The tortillas are fresh pressed and cooked to order. Even the tortilla is delicious and has an amazing mouthfeel. Overall an amazing dining experience and worth the wait.

This is a very busy happening place, and we decided to try it on a Friday night. All seats are stools against a counter- no tables or chairs, we thought we might have to wait or do takeout, but lucked out and grabbed the last 2 stools. The ambiance here lends itself to stepping back in time to a small, simple diner. It's true that the menu is limited, which asks you how would you like your roasted goat? They do one thing well, and word has spread.

Stopped by here after a day at the beach. My first time having goat birria! This place is great. Wonderful food and great service. Got the small plate (off the bone) to share for a midday snack. Would love to try the quesabirria next time. Would definitely recommend the large plate to split between two people if you're hungry!

I have been to their south side location awhile ago, but I knew that I no longer would be in the area for any business or running errands. Therefore, I was very glad that "Birrieria Zaragoza" got a north side restaurant for me to check it out. The owner, Juan, was beyond nice and really engaged conversations with his patrons. Obviously, birria was their speciality and all menu items were surrounded by it. I'm a fan of anything soup, so having a bowl of consome was absolutely the right way to go. I remember that I only ordered two (2) birria tacos, with one (1) being cabeza. However, I ended up receiving three (3) tacos and thought they made a mistake! Well, I would appreciate anything gratis. In addition, I was treated with a bottle of apple soda (Sidral Mondet). I was on my postpartum diet and purposefully discontinued the consumption of sweetened beverages. Nevertheless, thank you for the treat and I always finished anything that was given to me...lol! My partner is quite familiar with Mexican food, yet I didn't think he used to have birria often (at least I didn't assume so). He liked what he had. It looked like "Birrieria Zaragoza" made it to our go-to restaurant list whenever we would be out and about. We had it again via Uber Eats on one of the weekends. However, the restaurant missed the horchata coffee yet I didn't think it was a deal breaker. A simple contesting on the charge through the app. wasn't difficult to do. With that being said, I still needed to tick and made this review fair for our Yelp readers. Regardless a little mishap that happened, I can't wait to go back to "Birrieria Zaragoza" and indulge myself with one of my favorite proteins! It's the best to dine in so that one can taste the tortilla with the right temperature and texture. The ambiance is the quick-service style. Paid Street parking can be spotted.

Birrieria Zaragoza is getting five stars simply because they have me feening for those goat off the bone tacos and that soup! First the location use to be a chicken place. It is a very small place. There is seating but maybe 20 people tops. But so what, my food is going home with me so I can eat in peace.All I can say is that for me, the goat meat is like a drug. There are days I literally crave it either as a taco or a soup. The consume with that goat meat is to die for. I usually get that, throw in the onions and cilantro and lime juice, and then add udon noodles and shredded Mexican cheese. So so good. The tacos are very good too. I love when I go in there and place an order, I get a free taco while waiting. I can't quite describe the tortillas, but they are corn and on the chewy side, but that is not a bad thing, The texture somehow works with the meat.The meat itself is so tender and flavorful, just amazing. I always want to eat more cause my eyes are bigger than my stomach, but two will be enough unless you have not eaten all day. Usually what I end up doing is getting rice/beans and guacamole from Lindo Guadalajara to make a meal. The quesadilla is very good with goat meat in it and that goat head meat is on a whole different level. This is a no frills place that only does a few items, but they do the soooo well! And the place is clean...happen to be driving past there early one Saturday morning and saw two young ladies scrubbing down the big pots and the grill. The staff is amazing and very friendly as well. They always greet me coming and going and are so sweet. The only drag about this place is the parking since it is on Broadway. Craving this stuff on concert nights is hard cause there is a crush of people in that little spot. But if you happen to be around, there, it is worth the wait.

I have an announcement. I just ate the best taco I have ever eaten! A taco is simple. But when done right, it's magical! Get in the car, or bus, or train, or just start running to Birrieria Zaragoza! You do not want to live another minute without having their birria taco and quesabirria! Both will change your life!

This is my favorite Birria restaurant, I have always been to their Pilsen place but I am happy they now have a second location in Uptown. Their birria and cansome are out of this world. It's a must try if you like Mexican food and are in the area.

This place is so incredible, the food is so tasty and fresh, best Birria I've ever had in my life. Everyone who works here is super helpful because the menu is kind of confusing for someone who's never had this experience before. The service is fast and friendly. It's a no-frills atmosphere, and I love sitting on the counter and eating. Finally, I could not take a picture of the flan because I ate it too fast but it's literally the best I've ever had.
