What Customers Say About La Chicharra
La Chicharra is praised for its authentic and delicious barbacoa and birria tacos, often compared to homemade meals. The friendly and efficient service, even with a small staff, is a highlight. Some find the birria oily or lacking flavor, and the limited hours are a drawback.

La Chicharra Alburquerque Reviews
This place is so good! I will definitely return.
Dam, good barbacoa! Small menu, which is simple for a great quick meal.
Loves the place inside very comfy and welcoming. Very nostalgic & peaceful . Feels like going to a restaurant back in Juarez when I was little . And talk about prices. Am going to be here very often. Food taste amazing.
I love the barbacoa so much
The best barbacoa!! Awesome ownership as well.
The food was really good! I liked the barbacoa tacos and friendly staff
Amazing and authentic! Highly recommend
First time here .Really good tacos
I ordered some Birra Tacos today. It was by far the best Birra I have ever had and the price was super cheap! I'll be back.
We ordered a pound of barbacoa and one order of birria to-go. I really enjoyed the barbacao. The red sauce goes really well with the taco and barbacoa. The green sauce (salsa verde) is little bit watered down so you have to put a lot for it to taste. The birria is a disappointment, looks more like regular tacos. Its meat does taste like birria but I was expecting more like real birria drench in grease and oil. Lol. I did think twice about trying out this place because of the mixed reviews. Good thing I went. It’s conveniently located and is a great option if you do not want to cross the river. Overall, I will still give it 5 stars and will definitely recommend. I will try their other offerings next time we go.
If you put 1 Star your obviously a crybaby because this place is phenomenal and so bomb.com 💣🔥
Great place to eat and the flavor is good! I got a barbacoa torta/lonche for 7 dllrs, at first I thought it was kind of expensive but it was worth it, I realized I was full before finishing it and it tasted really good. I like the ide of having a "walk through window" to make your order without having to go inside the building, especially on this pandemic times.. Definitely will return. 5stars.
Food was amazing!!! Reminded me of my mother in laws cooking. Cant say enough good things.
I don't understand why a taco place is open at 7 a.m. and closed at 2 p.m. !!! I and many others don't eat tacos for breakfast but DO eat tacos in the later part of the afternoon. I like their food but they have missed my business So many times because of their hours!!!
This is my first time eating here, I ordered over the phone 5 birria tacos, girl who answered the phone was very corteous and explained in detail my questions. Went to pick up order and was ready and was greated with an smile, from pick up window you are able to see the kitchen and everything looked very clean. But food was deceiving. Tacos had a very strong cumin flavor, and the meat was extremly greasy, couldnt taste the birria typical sauce. And it didn't come with consome, just a green and red sauce on the side. Very very disappointed with the food.
The service is good. Food lacks the right flavor. The Birria tacos tasted like meat with cumin. The barbacoa tasted like meat with salt/ not bad just not what you’d think of when you eat birria or barbacoa for the price, is sadly not worth it.
Got the birra tacos way too oily and sadly just tasted like cumin
I was highly disappointed I ordered the tacos birria I literally got 4 corn tortillas and the consumé and that was it
