“ I have been here twice. The first time i was there the birria was almost as good as Guadalajara but the second time; it was a disaster. No flavor, no texture, no taste whatsoever. I tried the pizzabria, burrito and taco birria. Definitely recommend pizzabirria and tacos but I don’t think burrito is a good option. Idk why the difference was so obvious for my experience but I guess if you’re lucky you may have somewhat closer to my first time experience. ”
“ Best tacos around. I tried califas, atarantados, cariñito. My money on birria Colorado ”
“ Amazing and affordable food. This is my favorite casual taco stand in town. Don’t expect table service or anything like that, it’s solely meant for a quick and casual meal. Insane quality and price. ”
“ The burrita I had was fantastic, very tender and juicy. Been in CDMX for 4 days, best thing I've had to eat so far. Under 200 pesos even with tip and a beer ”
“ Amazing Birria. I recommend the “dorados” which is the fried version of the taco. So it’s perfectly crunchy to dip in the meat sauce. Wash it down with a cold beer or Coca-Cola. Cards accepted. Some outdoor communal seating. ”
Story & Atmosphere
Birria Colorado
Birria Colorado, nestled in the heart of Ciudad de México on C. Río Lerma 218, Cuauhtémoc, is a vibrant spot that faithfully celebrates the rich tradition of birria, a beloved Mexican stew known for its tender, slow-cooked meat and deep, savory flavors. This casual eatery draws both locals and travelers looking for authentic birria tacos, pizzabirria, and an array of complementary dishes that elevate the humble taco to an art form.
What stands out immediately at Birria Colorado is the consistency of quality in some of its signature offerings. The tacos, especially the “dorados” — fried to crispy perfection and meant for dipping into the rich, flavorful consomé — offer a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the juicy, well-seasoned meat inside. This dish is a must-try and pairs wonderfully with a cold beer or a refreshing Coca-Cola, making for a perfect casual meal that feels both indulgent and comforting.
The pizzabirria is another highlight, frequently praised by patrons for its unique twist: the perfect marriage of melty cheese, tender birria meat, and crispy crust that manages to capture both traditional and innovative flavors in one bite. The combination sets Birria Colorado apart and shows their willingness to experiment while honoring birria’s roots.
Several reviewers have noted the affordability of the menu, which is impressive given the quality and portion sizes. It’s a spot without the frills—a no-table-service taco stand ideal for those wanting fast, satisfying food without any fuss. While some have found inconsistencies, especially with the burritos, most agree that the tacos and pizzabirria consistently hit the mark.
From watching the bustling kitchen where the birria slowly simmers to indulging in the hearty, juicy flavors that define the menu, Birria Colorado offers an authentic, approachable birria experience. It feels like a genuine taste of Mexican culinary heritage, inviting you to savor every bite while enjoying the lively atmosphere of a true local gem.
