Honestly, this spot didn't quite live up to any expectations. The food was seriously lacking in flavor, just very basic and plain. I tried the torta with consomé, and the horchata water I ordered alongside it wasn't good either. I also got the three tacos dorados, again with consomé and the same disappointing horchata. What really stood out was the pricing; I found it quite overpriced, paying $14 for each plate felt excessive for such uninspired food. There are definitely better places out there that serve authentic birria with actual great taste. To top it all off, the customer service was pretty uninspired as well. So, yeah, it's certainly not "SUPER" in my experience.

My expectations were a bit elevated, and while our experience was generally good, we've certainly had better meals elsewhere. The birria ramen, regrettably, didn't quite hit the mark; the quality of the meat wasn't enough to justify the significant cost, especially considering what felt like pre-made ramen components. We also tried the birria tour, which was passable. I found the seasoning on the tacos rather perplexing – perhaps Tajin or even crushed Doritos? – and the filling itself was merely okay. The taco shells were ambiguous, not clearly soft nor hard. Without a doubt, the highlight of the meal was the consommé, which proved to be genuinely delightful. The inclusion of various accompaniments like limes and raw onions was a welcome addition. The establishment itself seemed to be family-run, but we did experience a considerable wait for our food. Furthermore, the pricing felt quite steep for what was offered, leaving us rather surprised by the final bill. The overall vibe of the place is quite fascinating, featuring an interesting blend of Asian and Mexican candies for sale, alongside seemingly traditional Mexican motifs and outfits adorning the walls, creating a truly unique atmosphere. Their bull logo is ubiquitous, making me question if it's a chain; if not, they've done an exceptional job with their branding.

Paying $17.99 for such a small plate felt quite excessive, especially considering tortillas weren't included and would have been an additional $4. While the food itself was good, the overall value just isn't there when you compare it to the larger portions and better prices available at other places. The photo I shared, even after I'd already taken a few bites, really illustrates the modest size of the serving.
