Amazing service and food. We ate the caldo de cahuamanta and it is the closest you can get to Sonora. Also tried El Dogo Alambre which was amazing. Came from Fort Worth, TX to try it, definitely worth the trip. Best taste of Sonora in the US.

Best birria tacos in OKC 2019! Their “Sonora Style” seasoning and garnish on traditional tacos makes them unique! Must try! This is a hidden gem of South Side OKC. Their Birria tacos are hands down the primary attraction! They are also known for their “Sonora street food”

This is a recently open restaurant. It serves typical food from northern Mexico. My favorite dishes are all the ones that include seafood. I took my wife for dinner and she does not tolerate spicy food. I was able to ask them to put the space on the side and she loved it. The prices are very very decent. I’ve already come back twice. They are very friendly and really wanting to accommodate the best service to their customers they can. It gets four stars because when you pay there’s a two dollar charge if you’re using a credit card. Bring cash if you don’t want to spend two dollars or just pay them.

Delicious! The birria tacos and tostada con carne were great! Will definitely keep this place in mind for next time I want good (non tex-mex) Mexican food.
