Mar 05, 2026"No wait for table they also have bathroom if needed. Was it good? Yes very good! Slightly over priced, spent $15 USD for two people. It’s also VERY hot inside but they have fans going."

Dec 29, 2025"fellow whites, if you go here, please don’t mess with the vibe!!!! AMAZING tacos. Great service. Bourdain-like hole in the wall. Don’t tell instagram just eat, tip generously, and get out. You won’t regret it!"

Dec 26, 2025"Whenever I‘m looking for an authentic place to try when I‘m hungry, I go away from the hot spots, and this place was one of my favorites and pretty much didn’t disappoint. I came here everyday since I discovered it while I‘m in Playa del carmen. The place is tiny, a small business that still keeps their authenticity. The food is fantastic, especially the Birria. The staff are so friendly. Definitely recommend it and will come here again everytime I‘m in Playa"

Dec 12, 2025"I went to three birria places in one day and this was my favorite. I felt the tacos had the best flavor and taste and I like the condiment selection on the tables."

Nov 23, 2025"La Birria de la 30, WOW! I tried their birria with cheese and the homemade consommé… just wow. Absolutely to die for! Super flavorful, tender, and comforting. One of the best birrias I’ve ever had in Playa. A must-try if you love real, rich, authentic flavors!"

Nov 20, 2025"Man, this place is my JAM!! The berrea tacos are so flavorful! I had 2 Dorado (crispy) tacos and 1 Suave (soft) taco and shared an horhata withy wife. Amazing!! They are pretty simple tacos with a delicious chopped beef, cheese, onions and cilantro and there are multiple options of mild to hot sauces at the table. All were good and added to the flavor. I honestly felt like I could have eaten more than the 3 I had but at the same time that was plenty to fill me up. Everything cost 189 pesos (basically 10 bucks usd) plus a nice tip because you have to support a gem like this. It is very much a small hole in the wall but do not let that hinder you. Honestly the best tacos I've had down here and I stayed for 2 months. It was great and I plan to go again soon!"
