Birreria Ocotlan

Appearance isn’t much but don’t let that fool you. My husband was craving goat so we found this place. He enjoyed the Birria (goat soup). I had the taco de birria and taco de lengua. Both very tasty. Not a fan of the red salsa but the green one was a good addition to the tacos. Will be back.

Refreshing delicious experience that was only marred by the need to request a fork in Spanish. Ocotlan is a diamond in the ruff. Not much to look at but it’s beverages and delicacies made up for its appearance. Their goat tacos are comparable to a four star restaurant. I can’t wait to return for the goat soup.

This little spot might not look like much from the outside, but it will leave your belly full and taste buds more than satisfied!
The menu is in Spanish and our waitress spoke Spanish, so we improvised a little. I decided to go with a good ol’ burrito. What better way to rate a place than going by something you know. My boyfriend got the birreria (goat) especial. His wasn’t really my thing, but I loved my burrito!
The food was extremely authentic and the people were very friendly. I’m sure we will return here again.

There are not very many menu items other than goat stew, tacos, tortas and tostadas. I tried their goat stew and it was very good. It was a lot less dark and greasy than other restaurants I have been to; That to me was fantastic. Their small bowl is a great portion for an individual. Don’t let their red sauce fool you, it can get very spicy after a couple of spoonfuls.

This place is pretty damn good. They have a very simple menu, pretty much just tacos and goat soup. All of the tacos are very good, just warm corn tortillas, tender flavorful meat, onions, and cilantro. I really like the cachete. If you dine in they will serve your goat soup with warm tortillas. If you are into a little heat then they have toasted chiles at all of the tables to add to your soup. I would brush up on your spanish before you come to make the ordering a little smoother, but the staff is very friendly either way.

This taqueria specializes in birria con consume (Goat soup). It is comparable to any that I have had in the major cities such as Chicago (which is worth a visit just for their Mexican food alone).
They do not speak very much English in here but just be patient and polite ant you will make it out satisfied, happy and with your belly full. The staff is great.
This is also the only place I have been with labio (cow Lips) and cachete (cow cheek). The labio is like lengua (tongue) but a bit more fatty and the cachete is on par with the most tender beef you will ever eat.
The tortas are also worth mentioning. They smother the whole sandwich with a red sauce and they are good. This place is a truly authentic Mexican spot.
