birrieria diaz

this place was awful when my boyfriend and i went. i'm honestly not sure how thisrestaurantgot so many good reviews. the waiter was nice but the food was terrible. it tasted old and like chemicals. i got the chilis rellenos and it was disgusting. the bread was soggy and the pepper was mush in my mouth. i will not be going back there.

wow. i usually end my reviews by saying if i'd go back to therestaurantor not. i'm going to start this by saying i decided half way through dinner that i would indeed be back...and often. i actually looked at my friend and said, i want to come back here a lot.

i was looking for a tex-mexrestaurantwe hadn't visited yet for dinner tonight when i came across this one. i will say the emphasis is on the mex. not sure if it could be considered tex-mex but more legit mexican food.

i was intrigued by their signature dish, the birria. it is a mexican dish from the jalisco area of mexico. i had never had it before and knew i needed to try it.

the smallerrestaurantwas clean and the wait staff friendly and attentive.

i, of course, ordered the lamb birria. i can't say how much i loved it. it was fantastic. so flavorful. the sides that went with it, the tortillas, all of it was spectacular. i ordered the small and still have enough for lunch tomorrow.

my friend got the supreme enchiladas. i was too smitten with my birria to try the enchiladas but he said they were good and since enchiladas are his go to meal i trust his answer. the rice looked authentic too.

i am just so excited to have found thisrestaurantand will definitely be telling all my friends and family about it. if you want a culinary adventure to mexico without leaving oklahoma i highly suggest this restaurant.

great mexican food. i have a general rule that if i see arestaurantwith a full parking lot i tend to keep driving. those places are usually very overrated. give me a small, quiet family run place any time. birrieria diaz is one of those places.

typically i will order the enchiladas mexicanas. they are not the tex mex style that is so common here. they are authentic cuisine from the interior of mexico--not smothered in cheese sauce or chili. some places use huge servings to cover up a lack of taste. birrieria instead serves reasonable portions that really taste great. also, the salsa is the best i have found in okc.

also, the employees are friendly and helpful. this is my favorite mexicanrestaurantin the city.

really great little place.. i actually went to this place based on reviews from urbanspoon, and i was not at all disappointed. it's a simple littlerestaurantlocated practically in walking distance from my old highschool. i wish it had been around a decade ago. i would have had a great little place to add to my regular lunch list.

to get right down to business, i wanted to get a taste of a few things they had to offer. so i ordered a couple tacos, sopes, and tamales. this comes with chips and queso (add a little salt), great salsa, along with cups of lime, radishes, green and red chile sauce. i went on a saturday evening and it was about half full, the food arrived quickly, and everything was well cooked and extremely tasty. the amount of sides you're given really lets you experiment with flavors, and it's much more authentic than any tex-mex place you're going to come across. for example, the tacos are small-ish soft corn tortillas with chopped beef, lettuce, onion, cilantro.. and i added a healthy squeeze of lime with chile sauce, and it was delicious. the sopes had beef-head (also delicious, though there are multiple meat choices if you can't handle the idea of that. chicken, etc.) and the tamales, pork with red sauce.

beyond the good food, i have to mention 2 things. firstly, the price is very reasonable. the tacos run i think 1.60 a piece, and 3-4 of them could easily make a large meal, especially considering the chips. even still my grand total came to 18 dollars, and i felt the 5 dollar tip was deserved, especially considering my second point.

the service in this place is really just amazing, as others have mentioned, this is a family owned business that is friendly and eager to help out. my server reassured my mother all spicy things came on the side, and helped to explain anything she didn't know, or help pronounce anything we hadn't heard of. beyond that, he suggested ways to mix the ingredients, and he was very correct. attentive, friendly, and non intrusive. the kind of service you can only get from a person who actually cares, and that means a lot.

i felt like i really cheated on my diet, but that is beside the point. here in okc there are only so many options for good mexican food, and most are either overpriced or inauthentic. this is in my opinion a small and humble place.. but it is honest, reasonable, friendly, and will not disappoint.

our new favorite mexican restaurant!. all i can say is, wow. this place has the best homestyle mexican food in okc, hands down. the beef they use in the tacos is tender, juicy, and amazingly lean. no grease or fatty juices. i had the enchiladas and was blown away; they were so incredibly fresh and delicious. they also served these crazy good reddish-seared potatoes. i have no idea what spices they used but it was super yummy!

the service is excellent and the waitstaff is very nice. there is plenty of parking behind therestaurantwhich is awesome.

we've never been to such an authentic, family-run mexican place...we will be going back again and again!

awesome !!!!!. my husband and i are always looking for new restaurant's to try. i came accross the birrieria diaz while searching online. i really take other peoples reviews to heart. and the reviews that i read made the place sound amazing. well the reviews were corrrect. the food was amazing. my husband tells me whenever we try a new mexican or tex-mexrestaurantthat you can always tell how good the food is by their tamales.

my husband had the beef birria and a tamale and he said it was so good , i had the huaraches and it was very good. we had other family with us and they said the quesadillas were also very good. the salsa and cheese was great. you get more then enough food and the extra's that come with your order. the staff were very polite and helpful. we had 5 adult's and 1 child in our party and our bill was like $ 29.00.

we found parking very easily in the back of the building. is kind of a small place so you may have to wait a little bit , but the staff is more then helpful at cleaning the tables and helping you get seated quickly. we will be making this a regular on our list of restaurant's to visit.

fantastic!!!. i was lucky to fall into birrieria diaz's spell this summer. between my husband and i we have had everything on the menu, and nothing has disappointed. my favorites are the lengua sopes and the sheep birria. most of all the family that runs therestaurantare incredible. if you want authentic mexican food this is your place. stop in and be amazed!

wonderfully authentic. i've tried several of the taco places and authentic mexican food places that pop up in okc owned by hispanic families.
that being said, i find this newrestaurantreally good in comparison. they bring you avocado slices with your meal, several different salsas -- and all are great!
the wait staff is friendly and this is a nice family atmosphere to dine.
my only criticism is that their location doesn't lend itself well to parking during the lunch hour, but it's worth the walk from the parking spaces behind the restaurant.
i'd recommend you try this. it's not tex-mex, it's real mexican food, but it's highly flavored.
they have handmade corn tortillas.
not crazy about the thicker chips, but i think that's part of the authenticity.
