We were the last customers of the day yesterday coming about maybe an hour before they closed. We were trying to find a place that was a perfect middle between where the pumpkin patch we were at in Merrillville and our home in Chicago and this was the perfect spot. I will ABSOLUTELY BE BACK!! The food was amazing 10/10 tacos, the Birria Ramen was ABSOLUTELYYY the star of the show. Battling between sharing this place with friends or being selfish and keeping all to myself lol! (I will eventually share... maybe ) I will be back!!

This is a great place to buy Birria from. Absolutely worth the trip! The consome alone is good. I highly recommend the torta and the 3 Quesatacos with consome. They are delicious.Trust me you want to dine in. If you feel adventurous you may want to try the Birria Pizza. It is a heavy dish and you will feel full. If you want to take the pizza to go, you can have the option to have the toppings on top or on the side.
