“ Incredible food and incredible service. The food was phenomenal. We got the birria tacos, grilled cheese, pho and empanadas. Serving size was decent. But I prefer quality over quantity any day. I was full after the tacos and a few bites of empanadas. My dad and husband finished their meals and split empanadas and were comfortably full but could have eaten more if needed. All of that to be said 10/10 I definitely recommend and will be back asap. Actually tried to go again last night but didn't want to seem too desperate ”
“ Update 2024: If you haven’t eaten here yet, you have to ask yourself why not? You need to get here and try ANYTHING on the menu. It’s all so incredibly delicious and prepared with love 2023- and the Flavors are still going strong We bought out 1/2 the menu I think! We had to try almost everything. It smells delicious when you walk in. The Heavenly Birria comes with 3 tacos filled with slow roasted beef and melted cheese. Get that fresh cilantro & onions and salsas over at the fresh bar. The street corn - YUM ! Get that! And you MUST get those loaded fries! You MUST get the loaded fries! I said it twice. The owners John & Erika...so friendly & welcoming. So warm. ”
“ Excellent meal. This is a unique Mexican restaurant as I have never had deep fried tacos before. They were excellent. I ordered three different tacos and enjoyed all three equally. My wife ordered two tacos with rice and beans. She said the rice and beans were also very good. The prices are reasonable. The restaurant is small but very welcoming and clean. We will be back again. ”
“ Food was so good!!! Birria bowls were outstanding great portions and flavors! Will be back! ”
“ When I worked in Greenville my coworkers and I ate there every Friday. I've never been disappointed. The birria is flavorful, the menu has something for everyone. I recommend the avocado sauce and the yucca fries. ”
“ Love stopping by when I am near. Best birria tacos!! Staff is always nice upbeat and ready to serve. It feels like they love each customer that walks in the door and their food is excellent. I haven’t gotten a single item that I did not like they have everything you can think of from larger plates to smaller a la carte they even have desserts! I highly recommend the churros and Lola’s Turon (not pictured but did get on a previous visit) Also the Lola’s Lumpia is probably one of my favorites and literally the only place I know of where I can get lumpia! ”
