Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Delicious! Great service and a beautiful restaurant! Fresh made tortillas and the most tender meat!"
"My boyfriend took me here to experience not only the history and atmosphere but the delicious food. Being from Sweden I’ve only heard and had to imagine the dish Birría. We don’t eat goat in Sweden so this was completely new territory for me. The condiments, the consommé, tortilla, salsa and meat were all great. As well as the service. Me and my boyfriend are very interested in the history and origin of places and events, so the fact that the waiter took his time to tell us about this place was very welcomed! Did you know that Chololo is over 180 years old? This specific restaurant has been around for 60 of them. I can see why they’ve opened up several locations. If you’re ever in the area, do stop by, I highly recommend it. Not only for the food but for the great service as well as the traditional coffee which is made with cinnamon and refined cane sugar."
"This place is very traditional birria slow cooked goat meat with spices. Arrive by 11am and you are guaranteed all attention and amazing service. Arrive 2pm and be ready to wait a little bit to be seated. There are not many choices on the menu of one goes there is bc you want to eat birria or aome part of goat meat. You can also have the amazing broth they serve on the side of goat is not for you. The mint pineapple juice water is amazing too. And then at the end the amazing price value keeps you smiling. Yes, location is a bit off the grid but as a tourist foodie this is the kind of place you want to visit. I'll be back any chance!"
"Wonderful restaurant!! Amazing food and the staff were so helpful and welcoming! Highly recommend everyone to visit. Go hungry, there it’s lots to eat!"
"If you're in search of authentic Birria Tatemada, look no further than Birrieria Chololo. This traditional establishment may not have the most impressive location, but the flavors they offer are truly delightful."
"Without a doubt, the experience you will find is very different from any other birria you have ever tried, from the way it is presented at your table to the final baking that gives it that characteristic flavor. You can taste it with their handmade tortillas and their molcajete sauce. Of course, you cannot leave without trying their café de olla and their desserts, mainly the jericaya, which is delicious."
"Oh I’ve got a story to tell. To start with, this is the first location for birrieria chololo. Now there are plenty more and size wise, this is the smallest. A fair warning that this place like many most places is cash only transaction. We got there in an Uber and only had a small change for cash. The folks here attended to our need and even asked one of the young server to accompany me on my mission to find machines or cash backs. Friendly folks, extremely attentive service, great tasting food (we trusted the advise of our server and he didn’t fail us) we had the goat meat and the beef birrieria. The place is small enough to be cozy but spacious enough to not make you feel like you are in a crowded place even when it’s full. All beer and tequila tastes good here don’t ask me why. We were even given a gift - a souvenir sombrero made of clay with an inscription that says “Birrieria Chololo”. We are definitely going back here whenever we are in town!"
"The food at this place is just one of the best I have had. the place is a small towns (Las Juntas) the place is clean: specially bathrooms. the people are very helpful if you have questions. they deserve 5 stars but the parking is small and a large truck could have issues to get in and out."
