In the Heights La Fiesta has the best Birria Tacos 🌮 hands down. I ordered for delivery. $15. It comes with five tacos and the consume has chunks of meat in it also. Will definitely order again! Not spicy at all but it came with the sauce on the side so you can add at your Hot and spicy level.

Legit Mexican food - if you want American-Mexican, get some Chipotle, gringo.

I’m honestly disgusted by my experience at this place. I walked in wanting to buy some snacks and maybe order food, but I was treated as if I didn’t belong. One of the staff members literally told me I’d “destroy the snacks just by reading the ingredients.” Like… what? I’ve never experienced something like that in my life. I can’t help but feel like I was treated that way because of my race, and that makes it even more upsetting. I will never eat from there. Smh weird experience.

Great taco place. Very authentic. They tend to over load the tacos but they do ask how u want them. I suggest avocado, a little onion, and hot sauce. These people know how to prepare a tortilla. They warm it up on a comal/pancake griddle. Tacos done right. I also ordered a large jamaica drink (hibiscus). Huge serving and perfect taste!
