What a hidden gem!! Not only was the staff super friendly and outgoing- the food and drinks were outstanding. We got the quesabirria tacos, Mexican flag enchiladas, and spicy jalapeno margaritas. Sooooo good! The inside is beautifully decorated. Both the decor and staff brightened our rainy day. Highly recommend!!

My family and I have been going to Eddie's restaurants since 2005. This is his latest based on the Birria Street Tacos. It started as a taco truck and moved to this location. The menu is made up of foods using the Birria meat and soup. Eddie is a great guy, and the food is fantastic. You get chips and salsa when you sit down at the table. The salsa is not as good as his other restaurant, El Carambas, but still tasty. I recommend the original street tacos. They are fantastic. Plus, it's a lot of food. And if you go on your birthday they will sing for you. It's lots of fun.

Mexican food with an authentic flare. If you love Mexican food, great service, and even better vibes, stop by Eddie's. If you're lucky, you might even meet him. Food is prepared perfectly, chips are in point, service is second to none. You might want to call ahead to make sure they're not super busy, but I'm sure they can handle the crowds.

I had an incredible experience here. The manager has a keen sense of customer service. I watched him go out of his way to improve the customers’ experience on two different occasions in the short time I was here. The street tacos with their hot sauce is some of the best I’ve had in Rochester.

Authentic Mexican restaurant with lovely decorations, excellent food and an amazing service. The tacobirrias are simply delicious and they come with a small amount of rice and beans (both very tasty) and are highly recommended. I absolutely loved the tortilla chips that came with the salsa. They are freshly made at the restaurant (and you can tell!). As a side note, the restaurant and the bathrooms are exceptionally clean, which is a plus.
