The birria tacos are absolutely incredible! The meat is so tender and the consommé is perfect for dipping. Best Mexican food I've had in Utah.

Finally, authentic Veracruz cuisine! The mole is rich and complex, just like my grandmother used to make. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming.
