My mother in law loves this place! Any occasion, this is where she asks to go! They have really good Birria tacos, chicken tenders, fries, tres leches cake and more. Perfect for going out to eat with a group of people as there is something for everyone, even pizza!

A friend and I went here for my birthday for lunch and it was perfect! We ordered steak quesadillas, Birria Tacos, and Tre Leche Cake 👌👌 👌Food was delicious, fun atmosphere, and great service. Highly recommend ⭐️

I’ve went to this restaurant twice this week and ate here two years ago—the food has been consistently amazing! Tonight I had Alambre taco’s, 1 shrimp taco with mango pineapple drink. It all totaled up to $21.13. I wasn’t able to get a photo of the drink but I loved that I could taste the pulp of the fruits in the drink. The atmosphere on my first night was a bit empty but my second visit was around 11:30pm & it was busy with customers sitting in to eat & sports were playing. Nice selection of drinks at the bar if you’re into that. I’d highly suggest eating here for a nice meal. The Alambre taco’s & salsa verde filled me up but I suggest getting a drink & something else just in case you get more hungry.

Heard about the birria pizza and had to try it. Love the birria and consume, pizza was cooked pretty good. The server was very friendly.

Came here to try the Birria and it was amazing. The tortillas were crispy, it was well filled, and the consommé complimented the Birria very well making a burst of flavor. Will come again for the Birria.

WE LOVE MEXITALIA!!!! I go here regularly and I will continue to do so. If you’re not sure whether you want pizza or tacos, come here and get both done well for cheap. You can even try their signature birria pizza. If you have $20 to kill and you’re hungry and in Pine Hills, this is the place to go. Look at how good my birria pizza looks in this photo!

Eggplant Parmesan Pasta - perfectly breaded and very flavorful! Birria Beef Quesadilla - delicious! 12 cut Mexitalia House Signature Pizza - great!

It was clean and well-appointed, the menu was clearly written, and the gracious server engaging. The selection was too much to choose from so I asked his suggestions. I'm glad I did! The Birria Tacos were totally new to me and delicious. (I've since learned they are in the Top 10 most popular food on TicToc.) The taco shells were pan fried and hot, stuffed with meat and cheese. My favorite was the tender shredded beef, but my partner preferred the chicken, and we both loved the beef broth dipping (I say soup) sauce. The flip side of the menu was Italian (MexItalia - get it?) but my server was not, so I stuck with his recommendations on the Mexican side. I'm definitely going back when I'm hungry to order multiple selections - just to see - but today's serving size was perfect for lunch.

Amazing tacos! Especially the barillos, shrimp, and al pastor. The chicken was okay but not as good as the other ones. Service was quick and the food was fresh. The chips and guac were very nice as well. An unexpected gem for our group from out of state.

We come here once a week because the service is great and the drinks are strong, but the food is mid. So mid. The tacos are dry. The burrito bowl is bland. Steak quesadilla is boring. The best thing on the menu so far is the Torta Milanesa de Pollo. But like I said, the margaritas are strong, service is great, atmosphere is nice, and tortas are delicious so we keep coming back!

I was initially drawn in by the idea of Mexican-Italian fusion and, while there were a few such "fusion" dishes on the menu (like the birria pizza I tried), it felt more like two restaurants in one rather than a true merging of the two. The service was great and the food was pretty decent as well. The store was quiet and seating was decently comfortable. If you and your friends/date/family can't decide between Italian or Mexican for dinner, this is a great option that should satisfy both palettes!

I got the birria tacos and a quesadilla. The tacos were excellent and quite filling. You get 4 with the order. The consomme was very flavorful and delicious. I would definitely get these again. The quesadilla was good. It was filled well and very tasty. This is a place that i would recommend to anyone and will definitely go back to next time im in the area.

Normally, I order birria tacos from here, but I decided to try the steak burrito. I wasn't thrilled with the burrito, the steak was very tough and dry. The burrito was mostly rice and I couldn't even tell there was sour cream inside. The burrito is a nice size, but for the price it should be executed better. The green sauce has a nice kick but pretty tasteless otherwise. I wouldn't order this again, I'll stick with the tacos.

I got the Birria pizza because I've been seeing it all over the internet. I will say it was good but I guess I was expecting a little more WOW. I have told some of my family to go try it.

This had been my go to place for boneless wings for over a year. I ordered some on super bowl weekend and they were not the same quality, we ended up tossing both orders. I ordered again this week thinking maybe there was an issue with food because it was so busy, but again the quality just isn't there anymore. Huge cubes of chicken not fully breaded, very dry. I won't be finishing this one either.

Instructed the server that I wanted an order of Nachos , she asked me “what type Of Nachos and what was my name, I said “Chicken and my name is Ken” when I got home I found quesadillas in the bag, the recipe didn’t say my name, it said CANA and 1 chicken Quesadilla . When I returned the Server (Natalia) told me that I made the mistake. SHAME ON ME, IF YOU GOT MY NAME WRONG, WHAT WOULD MAKES ME THINK THAT YOU WOULD GET MY ORDER CORRECT ?

So ive been a regular for 5 years or 4 years. These guys at the bar were harassing me and passive aggressively talking about me while i was eating there. There were two waitresses chilling with them. They did not speak up at all to get them to leave me alone. All they had to say was "hey shes obviously not in the mood to talk to you, pls stop" but no they kept laughing with them. Even when I was paying for my food they kept harassing me. This place has no loyalty or respect for regulars, since then I have not been here again and unless my boyfriend begs me to go with him I will never give this place my money ever again. Its unfortunate because I had so many good memories in this place. The food is not bad but not worth giving money to people who dont care about you and only care about appealing to bigger crowds of men bc they are desperate for tips or whatever. Btw the waitresses was that older woman who is short and a little chubby and doesnt speak english very well and another waitress was a younger women who does speak english very well. As not only a regular but as a fellow woman they basically betrayed me. Dont give this place your time

The food was good but was very annoyed by inconsideration. it was my fiancé’s 40th birthday yesterday and he was dying for some Birria style food so I took him here lastly night. Had a decent time but when it came for him to get his birthday dessert the lady acted clueless while I was trying to be discrete. In which my fiance caught onto. Then as he usually does says no no no that is ok…but bc he can get shy sometimes. It’s his 40th birthday and I wanted to sing him happy birthday. He agreed but then the lady wouldn’t come out with dessert without him showing his ID. I’m 42 years old and NEVER have I been asked for ID when celebrating mine or anyone else’s birthday. What if someone wants to surprise their loved ones? He left his wallet in the car because I was paying for his Birthday meal. He didn’t want to go out to his car bc it is not that easy to park around the restaurant as there is no restaurant parking and the car was all the way down the street. He tried to show her his Facebook where everyone was wishing him a Happy Birthday but she was saying it could be a fake profile. I’m sorry but I’m am in my 40’s he just turned 40, we ordered 3 appetizers and 3 meals between the two of us. I don’t think we are trying to run off with some churros. I was going to purchase it but got disgusted and decided to go somewhere else to finish celebrating. She can believe him without showing ID for alcohol but not that it is his birthday? A little consideration and regard next time for someone celebrating a MILESTONE Birthday.

I ordered food with my coworker from this establishment and both items were to include salsa, sour cream and pico. None of the sides aside from one cup of sour cream were included when delivered. The food was dry. The restaurant refunded ‘’ my sides’’ with $1.62 credit. This is my first and last time ordering from this restaurant.
