Birote Deli

Food was great. Had the birria and bahn mi torta. The birria consome to dip the sandwich was so good! The bahn mi was perfectly spicy and sweet. Great food. I would appreciate more signage to indicate that you order at the same register as the horchata location but, other than that, great place.

I already knew Birote was going to be amazing because I had tried the tacos at Macheen in East LA. I ordered the Birria Birote and it was AMAZING!! The consome dip was so delicious too! The birria itself has an amazing and unique deep flavor of spices, paired with some gouda cheese, and the dip was thicker than your average caldo which made it perfect for the bread. Can’t wait to come back and try the other sandwiches. Highly recommend!!

My wife and I came by to try out the new spot inside of Horchatería. We both got the oyster mushroom torta. I'll start off with the pros: The flavor is definitely there! It's oyster mushroom marinated in adobo, topped with arugula and garlic aioli, paired with Swiss cheese. As someone who doesn't usually like mushrooms, I finished all of it! We both opted for light arugula. Their esquite was delicious!! That side is worth the visit alone. Now for the cons: The bread (which I believe is birote), was very hard, almost as if it were stale or old. I left half the birote as it was too hard to finish, opting to finish the meat with a fork. The garlic aioli is with the arugula, so if you finish that first, there is not much sauce left leaving the bread too dry. I'll definitely be back, but I'll have to give them some time to figure out the bread situation.

First time trying and it is delicious, got the Oaxacan pastrami and wouldn't definitely go back again, bread was fresh and ingredients very fresh

Got the Barbacoa, nicely loaded with meat and a nice blend cheese and topping. Dip was a plus but sandwiche was good by itself

Walked in for a horchata steamer and walked out feeling like I'd just been wrapped in a cinnamon blanket. The drink came out quick, no waiting around while my sweet tooth negotiated terms. First sip? Warm, creamy, perfectly balanced. Not overly sweet, not bland. Just smooth horchata comfort with that subtle cinnamon hug that makes you slow down and appreciate life for a second. The space is open and inviting, easy to relax in, and the service was genuinely friendly without feeling forced. You can tell they take pride in what they're serving. If you need something warm, comforting, and worth the calories, this horchata steamer is it. Definitely recommend. El Yepista - Gabriel

Stopped here after a quick trip to Northgate Market. Surprised this place had so many reviews, so had to check it out. My husband and I came here pretty late, I would've liked to try their churros and other desserts that looks super delicious, but wasn't feeling it when we visited. We just opted to get a large horchata to share. I was not really a fan. Their horchata is super, super freaking sweet. I've definitely had better horchata elsewhere. The price and quantity is fair I think, but I'll have to try other things on their menu to see if just the horchata is not to my taste. Interior is very clean and spacious. This place is very well decorated, with art and merchandise around the store. However, it took quite a while before my order was taken even when no one was in front of me. Kind of just awkwardly stood there and took my phone out because no one came to take my order. Service was nice though when someone finally came over to take my order, and I got my drink really quick. There's a little bit of parking available, you may have an issue grabbing a spot on a typical day I think. There is a convenient drive-thru though. Will try to check this place out again whenever I'm nearby, I'm hoping other drinks will be better.

Right when I stepped in, I was genuinely impressed by the amount of space and authentic Mexican art/decor they had! There was also a brewery that is soft opening inside which was a nice touch. We came for the churro sundae and it was absolutely delicious. The churros were perfectly fresh and the horchata ice cream was top notch. Perfect for sharing! The drinks, though, were way too sweet, especially the green tea horchata. I wish there was a way to make it less sweet but they unfortunately don't have any adjustment options.

A different place , a nice place for kicks and coffee and pastries made with love and that are one of a kind. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here and loved the horchata iced coffee which was superb. I drove from Orange County after seeing this place a while back somewhere . Service was awesome the place was chill and spacious and relaxing . Come one, come all!

Soooo this place is super cute and I'll keep coming back because it's convenient but it's very inconsistent on a few things, and very consistent on a few bad things. If you order a hot drink expect it lukewarm, always. If you order black coffee or cafe de olla, expect is watered down most of the time. Mazapan frappe was even super watery. So I give this place overall a 4 because I enjoy the atmosphere and overall items but I dont like getting constantly lukewarm drinks should be not and I really dont like that everything is super watered down.

Horchateria hosted us for an event we had & they were super helpful & place was great, packed & great drinks

The concha was good 4.5. The churro muffins were absolutely delicious 5/5. The hot chocolate was good, not too sweet. The horchata steamer 5/5 not too sweet, you could taste the horchata and hot chocolate. The cafe de olla frappe 5/5 wasn't too strong in coffee. The churros were good and thick. They tasted fresh, and I'm pretty sure they made them which is why it took a little longer to receive. The workers were kind and patient, super efficient too. The ambiance was super dope. The vibe was nice, area clean. It was giving modern Mexican culture vibes.

The vibey place is very spacious, got good music, and yummy treats! My boyfriend and I have been here twice so far and we enjoy it! The watermelon agua fresca was not overly sweet and was light tasting, which I really enjoyed! The cheesecake was nice and cold, the graham cracker crust was very crumbly though but the taste was very rich! The second time we went, we got a mazapan frappe and the strawberry paleta frappe; BOTH very true to the flavors and very strong! These were paired with nice, hot, fresh mini churros and got some chocolate dipping sauce on the side. The chocolate is a little on the runny side; I know for the future I will be getting the lechera sauce instead! But these drinks were perfect for the heat wave we were experiencing! Lots of indoor seating, they sell very cute merch that includes coin concha purses, stickers, mugs, etc. We have only come together on Tuesday evenings so I am not sure what any other day is like or if it is more busy on a weekend. But I will definitely be coming back to try out other drink flavors and yummy desserts!

Tried their Iced Vegan Horchata and it was exactly as expected, super tasty! Instantly put me in a good mood! Great option if you are vegan or need a break from dairy!

Came here specifically for the Churro Sundae. The churros were freshly made and had a great flavor. They were not as crispy as I like them on the outside, but the inside was warm, slightly chewy, and soft like I like them. Perfectly paired with the guava and lechera sauce it was smothered with. Ice cream was a great addition as well. The place is huge! Service was good. They also serve breakfast. Great place for dessert!

The ambiance and cleanliness inside of this cafe was very impressive! I was told to go here by a friend. It's like a rustic industrial warehouse vibe inside with lots of homey hispanic decor. After waiting at the counter and looking at the menu for a while (because only one guy was working.. doing both drive thru and the front!!), I picked out the Horchata frappe. The only thing was I expected to taste more of the Horchata flavor.. I feel like it was a creamy milk frappe with very tame expresso and lots of cinnamon powder shaken on the whip cream. Unfortunately it tasted alright to me, but hopefully it was just because the barista was in a rush being by himself and didn't do things correctly? I did enjoy relaxing on the couches but I found myself not really wanting to finish my drink. If I were to come back here, I'd only do so if someone invited me or if I wanted to study in here. Not sure if I would want to go back again on my own. Bathrooms were big and clean inside. The pastries and bakery items look promising.

It's been nine years since I last visited Horchateria. I still remember when they were at their original, much smaller location. Back then, you could already tell they had something special. Since then, I've seen them slowly expand, build, and remodel over time--and coming back now with some friends, it honestly made me proud to see how far they've come. The new location looks great, and everything still feels true to the quality and vibe I remember. Even better, I heard they've opened another location, which is amazing to see as someone coming back from Sacramento, CA after all these years. Wishing them nothing but continued success. I hope they keep growing and opening more locations in the future. They've come a long way, and they deserve it.

I was pretty surprised at how large the interior is for a cafe that sells drinks and some breakfast items. I was craving some coffee and I heard about this spot as a recc. I love horchata so as soon as I saw the name, Horchateria Rio Luna, I thought why not? There wasn't any written info on the menus that nondairy milks were offered, but thankfully the barista mentioned they had almond milk or oat milk as a substitute. I got the Iced Horchata Latte with oat milk, and to be honest, I had trouble tasting the Horchata flavor I love. It tasted like a vanilla latte with cinnamon powder tossed ontop. It was good though, but as I drank it, the remaining bits of powder at the bottom of the drink made the texture chalky. So I didn't fully finish it. Anyways, the coffee was pretty decent and once again, the interior blew me away at how cozy it is with several couches and so many tables to sit at. Free wifi with password written at the counter. Definitely a good spot with AC to use a laptop for study. *free parking / wifi *unique Mexican decor *breakfast items also served *has a drive-thru as well

Food: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Great place if you have a sweet tooth or just want great churros. They're made to order so definitely will be hot and fresh. Staff is friendly, attentive and keep this place very clean. Lots of parking and lots of room inside for groups, or anyone trying to get some work done. Check em out!

Stopped by and tried some drinks, churros and breakfast burrito. We ordered the party pack of churros, but honestly it felt like more of an empty box than a "party" pack for $15. On the plus side, they do give you 3 dip options, which I liked and was more than enough. We also tried the Horchata Oaxaqueña and the horchata iced coffee. Both were decent, but not amazing - the horchata itself tasted a bit watered down. The barbacoa breakfast burrito was delicious. Yes, it is almost $18 but it was packed with barbacoa and had a great taste. This place is worth checking out, they have so many options to choose from!

I have been coming here for years and I'm so proud of how much this place has grown. Still holding true to its mom and pop roots, this cafe has blossomed into something well deservingly big!! Matcha is now on the menu with the green tea horchata (and frap) and their pan/pastry case continues to expand. This spot is so big with chill music at all times. Great art on the walls. Large spacious tables.

Their frapps and churros are delicious. I especially love their conchas and cafe de olla.

Came here on a whim. Glad I did! The atmosphere is really chill inside, it's huge and it was very warm inside. The food meal is available from 7am to 2pm. I ordered cafe de la oja- it was a little sweet, so after drinking it about halfway. I went, and I had them refill it with regular coffee and they were very sweet and offered to give me a new cup of regular. I am planning to go back to try the food. I will go back to enjoy the coffee and desserts.

Horchateria Rio Luna was lovely! Lots of menu items and lots of indoor seating. Great spot to meet up with friends and enjoy a sweet treat. The coffee was alright- not really my taste. It was strong and had lots of cinnamon. I would still come back and try something different!! Service was quick and I enjoyed spending time there.

I came here two years ago and didn't really like their horchata surprisingly. Thought it was too grainy. But I came to try it again and had their churro dessert. It was very good with the lechera and ice cream. Definitely want to retry their drinks soon!!

I am local to the area and always try and stop by here whenever I need to study. I really like the ambience of horchateria, as it's always filled with a lot of people. As for the drinks I've tried many times, the frappes are solid but the health grade as a B always prevents me from trying more items. One thing I strongly dislike is that their restrooms are always poorly maintained. No matter how many times I come back to show support , the restrooms are always out of toilet paper, soap, or very dirty. If they up kept their restrooms, redid their inspection to an A , and also constantly cleaned their tables, this place would be better in all. Needs improvement.

Came in for lunch and we both ended up getting breakfast. Loved the fact that b'fast is served until 2pm - nice bonus! Service was great. The staff welcomed us when we walked in which was very nice. I was blown away on walking in to this very spacious, very open, and warm café. Lots of room around the tables, lots of artwork on the walls, a nice little spot to buy little things like coffee mugs and related items. I took lots of photos - that's how much I liked what I saw. I ordered the "3 all natural fluffy pancakes, coconut cream, AND organic maple syrup. Slap me now - I'm in Southern California and they are service MAPLE SYRUP?! I immediately ordered this. My friend ordered the barbacoa breakfast burrito. I have to say that my pancakes were just delicious. Listen, I've been to a café in downtown Lake Placid, NY - in the heart of maple syrup country - and they did not service maple syrup - you couldn't even pay for it. Crazy! So HRL get's kudos from this displaced Canadian who loves maple syrup on his pancakes. In fact, when the owner (David) came by I complimented the fact the dish was excellent and the syrup was literally the caviar on top. My buddy loved his b'fast burrito. I'm coming back, but I wonder if I will ever try anything other than the pancakes with maple syrup. Yum, yum, yum. By the way, I had my first horchata (plain) here. Really enjoyed it!

I really love this coffee and churro spot -- the vibe is so great! The prices are fantastic, and the coffee is amazing. I had the horchata latte and it was fabulous. I also tried the café de olla (yes... I had two coffees!) and both were incredible. This will definitely be my go-to coffee shop!

Horchateria Rio Luna is one of those spots where once you try it your always going to wanna come back. The ambiance is a very retro Latino cafe. They have a lot of cool little Knick knacks souvenirs where you can buy . The service is ok not the best but not bad . The food is mid to high point but your paying for the experience and also the quality of the food and pastries there ! Overall if your around the area check them out !

Please update your business hours :( I got there at 9pm and was told it was closed. Online says 10pm today, Friday.

Coffee is really good news to come back another day! Staff was friendly and place was clean.

This is my first visit to this cafe. I ordered the cafe de olla, which has notes of brown and cinnamon and I also ordered a concha. Decided to dip it in my coffee. The staff is very kind and patient. Definitely will return again and again. Warm and toast like the pastries it is 46 degrees outside.

I finally tried the chicken chorizo breakfast burrito, and it was delicious. I really enjoyed the crunch from the tater tots inside. The burrito was pretty big too. It's enough to share with someone else if you're trying a bunch of stuff here. I washed it all down with the organic Mexican coffee roast. Try it!

Honestly, I decided on this coffee/pastry place as a mid-way stop between L.B and L.A., and I'm so glad I decided to! This location is lovely, clean and so spacious with high ceilings and plants and decor that makes the environment very pleasant. I ordered the green tea horchata latte with a cream cheese jalapeño pastry, which were both very delicious and filling, and the perfect wake-up snack I needed to continue the ride. The staff was great, and the gentleman who took my order was very friendly and welcoming. (P.S. I hope you get the ZR6R!). Thank you so much!

Cafe de Olla just the right amount of sweetness. Jalapeño and cream cheese croissant. Savory and sweet.

The churros and drinks were had were all really good. We ordered the systems churros to share between 3 people and they were perfect. Fresh out, soft yet crunchy, a good balance of cinnamon and drizzle. We also ordered drinks: the Choco frappe, churro frappe, and steamed horchata. The steamed horchata was the best drink and probably what I would order when I return. It's on the sweeter side that's how I prefer my drinks. Choco frappe and churro frappe were pretty standard iced blended drinks. The churro frappe was surprisingly not as sweet as I thought it would be. This is a cafe so you order at the front then wait for your drinks and food to come out. We went after 8 pm so it was pretty chill that time. Plenty of seats for both small groups and big groups. The wall art is also very fun!

This is one of my favorite place to work out of. They offer Wi-Fi and have some plugs for your laptops. The place is huge and has plenty of seating. The food options are pretty good during the breakfast hours. My favorite is the breakfast sandwiches, tater tots, the biscuits and gravy, and their chilaquiles. After 2pm they have pastries and their drinks available. My favorite go to drink is the hot chocolate with oat milk or their aqua frescas & their cheesecakes are pretty good as well. The service is friendly and pretty quick. I def recommend!

If you're running late to work and craving a hot beverage, Horchateria is not it! I ordered an over priced latte this morning ($7.17) and stood behind 2 cars for 17 mins! Then I get to the window and no good morning (nor at the speaker), none the less a "Thank You" or "Have a Good Day" (absolutely nothiing shared) after being handed my long awaited drink. Guess being polite and respectful at this establishment is not the thing! Very disappointing, not just in the poor slow service, but the lack of customer service makes it's tough to support your community coffee shop!

Pros: *Great customer service. *Several choices of coffee and ice blended drinks, *A lot of sales items, like coffee cups and Concha gift items. *Artistic Atmosphere. *A lot of seating. *Clean restrooms. *Horchata ice cream was good. *Churros was okay. *Horchata ice drink was good. Cons: *Limited small parking. *Cafe de Olla blended ice drink, was too watery, had no flavor. *Food and drinks are pricey for the quality of food and drinks. *Ordered danish with cream and strawberry, it tasted dry. *Overall food is mediocre. Most likely will skip this place next time.

Upon entering this relaxed cool vibed spacious coffee shop/cafe I was pleasantly suprised to see how beautiful the decor is, how well spoken customer service is. The menu is perfect and there are vegan options. Food was delicious and very well prepared and plating was very neat.

My colleague picked up some coffees for us before a meeting. I've been in once and it was such a cool vibe. One day I'll I'll sit down and enjoy my coffee there. I ordered the Pumpkin Horchata and it was absolutely delicious.

I ordered a burrito and an horchata iced coffee. Both were really good. Do note that the coffee is not the traditional milky horchata coffee, its more like an iced cafe de olla with horchata flavor but either way it was delicious. Definitely going back because it's a nice cozy feeling cafe , with pillows and all. The lady who gave me my order was really nice and the cashier too. They also have a drive-thru!

So i remember this at its old location and thought i lost it forever and a friend showed me where they moved. i was absolutely thrilled! Lots of parking and they now have a DRIVE THRU!?! Amazing. As soon as you walk in you see lots of tables and chairs and it's such a large space. Reminded me of starbucks but BIGGER and a better vibe. Service was ok nothing special or negative to say. my items came out about the same time so that was good! I got the famous horchata frap and some mini churros with the sauces on the side. flavor for the drink was amazing. The churros tasted good but were really bready. Maybe i got there on a funky day so definitely going back again.

Haven't been to horchateria since their original location. They have a great space, and decent selection. My daughter had the chocolate dipped croissant, their croissant had great flavor in the pastry itself. The chocolate is closer to a dark chocolate, so it had a nice balance of sweetness to it. I ordered the horchata frappe, great flavor. My partner had the choco frappe and added a shot of espresso since it's caffeine free, the espresso was smooth and strong so unfortunately lost some of the chocolate flavor since we changed their drink. But it was still really good. I mixed them together when we got through half and made chocolate horchata and that was good too Didn't try any other food offerings but probably will return to give the sandwhiches a shot, they sound really good

Cutest coffee spot. Their conchas are made fresh in the mornings - vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. I was surprised to discover that the strawberry was my favorite one. Their coffees are good but on the sweeter side. I usually just ask for half sweeten. They have a drive thru on the side, great when you're just picking up a dozen for that work meeting.

Great spot for dessert. Got there about 30 minutes before closing. Staff was very friendly and portions were good sized.

I drive by here all the time and typically just keep on going. The building is easy to miss. I finally stopped in for breakfast and was very pleasantly surprised. I was surprised to see a pork belly burrito on the breakfast menu, but figured why not give it a try. The pork belly blew me away! Definitely hardy for breakfast but it was 10/10 flavor, texture, perfectly prepared. Not only was the meat everything, the Sonoran style flour tortilla was so soft and buttery, eggs, salsa were perfect as well. Ambiance was fun. Lots of Frida, Selena, lucha libre artwork throughout. Plenty of seating, tables and couches in the dining area. Service was good. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I'll be stopping back in for dessert soon!

My initial reaction to this place was "Wow, it's really spacious in here!" I love the modern Mexican aesthetic the place has. My family picked the churro sundaes. 10/10. I had an horchata Oaxaqueña. 10/10 as well. We will be coming back.

Ample parking lot and located off the corner of Alondra Blvd and Paramount. Location has plentiful seating inside and an event space where they host pop up events. I came here for their pet pop up. There is also a drive thru but did not use on my visit. You order at the counter and they call your number to collect items. They do get busy but staff is friendly! They have a great selection of coffees and drink on their menu, including selection of pastries and desserts. I opted for the Oaxacan Horchata which I had never tasted before, it wasn't overly sweet and enjoyed the coconut, fruit and nut inside. The chocolate dessert, I enjoyed the cream topping with semi sweet chocolate paired well. The cake was soft and the strawberry filling didn't have that artificial taste which is +++. Birote Deli is apparently a new collaboration. I had the Pollo Birote, the chicken was marinated to perfection. Tender and juicy with a slight kick in the end. The birote itself held everything together well. At first glance you'd think it'd going to be hard but on the contrary it's perfect which with the juiciness of the torta contents held up without making a mess. The bread is fresh and the best part is the toasty outside edges. Friend ordered the birria dip and it comes with the consomé on the side. The birria I tasted and I enjoyed the Smokey flavor. If it wasn't too far from me I'd be enjoying more birotes. Definitely worth trying their other birote options.

Same as another review stated. Came to get concha's for a potluck at work. On top of them not having any pastries available, it took 15 minutes in the drive thru just for coffee. Was not greeted with a good morning or have a nice day. I love their concha's but not sure if it's worth the gamble of driving to see if they're available or not when the service is also bad.

A friend recommended this place to us and i was skeptical until i saw their breakfast items! Not only do they have a huge selection of delicious pastries, they have breakfast burritos and sandwiches. I got the pork belly burrito - it was huge - and the woman behind the counter recognized i was a tater tot lover and offered me more. It is a good sized space with art on the walls and cute merch to buy. Open, fresh, well lit. Everyone is very nice and they made my husband's burrito a bowl since he cant have a tortilla. In both burritos there were HUGE chunks of pork belly, meat not fat. Tater tots and egg. The pork was marinated. My husband and i were amazed. The salsa was fresh and flavorful as well. Cant wait to bring my parents back!! The drinks are very tasty too

Been coming to HRL since their previous location. Love that they carry cute little items, love their art, and the atmosphere. This is a place I go to if im looking for something SWEET! The drinks are very sweet and ofc their pastries. But still visit for a sweet treat.

If I could do a negative rating I would! - coffee was cold - waiting way to long in the drive thru lane - tasted HORRIBLE AND OLD That is so disappointing we are better off going to McDonalds for coffee! I also got a horchata iced coffee and it doesn't even have any horchata flavor to it! What a waste of money. FIRST AND LAST TIME GOING

They take forever to give you your drink in the drive thru, expect to wait 30 minutes for 2 drinks, hire faster people
