I have heard a lot about this place, but never had a chance to eat here until today. I ordered their shrimp, chicken, pastor and birria tacos. I also ordered a guacamole. Everything was really good.

Excellent food, excellent service, cool ambiance and location. We really enjoyed the chips and salsa, the margaritas, and the shrimp tacos.

Table salsa is probably the best in Tulsa. A little salty, but I loved that! The empanadas and queso were good, but I would probably choose another starter next time. My tacos were great, but I will definitely be trying birria next visit!!

Amazing food, quick service, such great flavor, snd small family atmosphere. It is there 2nd year being open and they have it figured out! They had some live music going as well! Go out of your way to give this place a shot, you will not be dissapointed. We shared an app & split a main dish...More than plenty. Like spicy... try that orange colored sauce..! And grab an extra rita to go with it cuz you will need it! Awesome job and keep up the great work!

The food was great. Reminds me of home meal cooking. The service was super friendly. The birria tacos are delicious I got one on the side. I ordered the enchiladas that were off the fall menu. Everything was great. Will be back to try the birria noodles.

The tacos were really delicious here and the staff were super friendly! There were many great options on the menu, and the seasonal fall menu also had delicious food on it. I found the food to be very affordable for the quality. The only thing I didn't love were the chips: they were somewhat fluffy and not as crunchy or salty as I prefer, but overall it was a good spot to grab some quick tacos!

This place was amayyyzinggg!. So I left OK to Cali for two years and came back recently and this place has a second restaurant opened so because the original one that I go to closes at 8 PM I came to this one instead and I asked the waiter here if it was the same owner near memorial and he said it was, so I had high hopes that hopefully they can duplicate the flavor And I am happy to say that they did a great job with their deliverance! We ordered the Birria tacos and the consume with the tacos was perfection!. We loved the look and aesthetic of the restaurant and also our waiter was an amazing waiter with excellent customer service because the vibe was there, the waiter had good energy, and the food was amazing. I give this place a 5 RATING and will be back And highly recommend it for all who loves birria tacos!!

We've dined here at least four times. First time (soon after they opened) was a five PLUS. The last visit was about a four. Still good and I still love the place. Service was just a bit slow. There were three servers (with one primarily being the bartender) and they seemed to be trying very hard. It looked like there were a LOT of take out orders being prepared. The birria tacos were as good as ever and the salsa is great. Of the three tacos I tried, the chorizo was my favorite with the pastor coming in a close second. The asada taco was good, just not my fave. It's weird to rave about the rice but I must. They have the best rice ever. Order it as a side if you're ordering tacos ala carte. You won't be disappointed. You also won't be disappointed with the classic marg.

I finally made it to 918 Maples and, "Caramba!"... it did not disappoint! If you're not looking for it you'd probably never find it. It's located in a trendy part of town near East 3rd and South Trenton Avenue (just south of The Church Studio). I sat inside although there was ample seating on the front patio. I was greeted within five minutes and my frosty fermented adult beverage arrived moments later along with a basket of thick crunchy chips and salsa. The salsa had a smoky flavor with a reasonable amount of heat. It was served cold but I think I might have enjoyed it more if it was served at a warmer temperature. I ordered the taco birria platter and it also arrived quickly. I got the impression that the kitchen is a well-oiled machine. There were a decent amount of people in the dining room and all were looked after. Now for the food. The tacos were incredible! Cheesy, crunchy, and savory. It was a rowdy fiesta in my face hole. The consomé had a deep rich flavor, perfect for dipping. Tacos were bigger than the tiny two-bite street tacos. The refried beans were thick and not runny. The rice was warm and fluffy and each bite reminded my of home. I'm usually a fast eater. Something I learned from my years in San Quentin (joke). But I took my time to savor every single bite. Today they made a new fan and this place is now in my rotation of favorites. If you haven't been here yet, do your taste buds a flavor. Bring a friend and check them out!

Like everyone else, we came here for the Birria Tacos! I've had some before at a different taco joint and wasn't impressed but the ones from here were amazing! The consome was so flavorful that I could sip on it as a soup! The Birria tacos came with a lot of meat and the yellow and green sauces were great compliments. The yellow was my favorite. It had a kick to it but didn't linger which I liked. The rice was the best Mexican rice I've ever had! My boyfriend got the La parrillada which came with tilapia, chicken, asada, chorizo. It came with tortillas but my boyfriend didn't want to get full too fast so he only ate the meat. Each meat was also full of flavor. The chips and salsa were also really good. I loved how thick the chips were and how it had a nice crunch and the salsa was really good too! Everything 10/10! Loved the walk art and how the restaurant was decorated.
