At Birrieria Mingos, the star of the show is unequivocally the birria — a slow-cooked, spiced beef dish that melts in your mouth and bursts with flavor.

Very good birria place, we stopped by on our way to Valle de Guadalupe. Food was delicious! The quesataco was very good. Parking was a bit difficult, and there is a steep hill you need to go up and you go through a neighborhood.
