Birrieria Grumpys

I love Mexican food, so I have eaten at a lot of different restaurants and I have to report that the birria at Grumpy's is exceptionally good. The classic recipe is generous, hearty and served traditional style with a big terracotta serving bowl. But the other menu items like the queso birria tacos, the birria baked potato and the birria ramen are fresh, unique and delicious also. There's great drinks, yummy appetizers and a comfortable welcoming dining room to enjoy the great food. It's a full menu ... carne asada, arroz con pollo, etc as well as some lovely sweets for after dinner. I like this place a lot.

Man the birria quesatacos with consume are out of this word. Being from Los Angeles I can confidently say these are comparable, even better than many I've tried through the years. I was very thankful they didn't try to blast my taste buds out with over the top spices, was just the right amount. The consume was just right and the hot sauce they served with it was very taseful without being overly spicy, just perfect. Excellent Mexican food and very welcoming, the server was nice and they have $5 dollar beers for happy hour (cash for the beers). Overall very satisfied with this restaurant and will definitely be coming back next time I'm in Washington.

food came out really fast, they were nice. but the prices were extremely high and there wasn’t much food to show for it. absolute rip off. the plate was 24 dollars, the tacos were okay for 12 but they barely give you any consome with it. and the jalepenos were too burnt and cost 14 dollars. my boyfriend and i were both disappointed, will not be returning. customer service was okay tho.

I love it here. The staff are awesome, friendly, great service. I like the openness of the whole place, the atmosphere just is really all around good vibe. The food is delicious. If you're ever in the area you should make sure you stop there, even if your not in the area you should get in the area so you can stop in there.🙂

Love coming here every time im in Washington.! They have the best birria ramen. Friendly staff. Nice & clean restaurant. Nice atmosphere.

Nice people wish they gave you chips and salsa like they do down south. The drinks and food were good

The staff was very friendly and the food, in general, a bit greasy but overall was good. I ordered the birria tacos, but unfortunately, they didn't have the traditional goat meat used in this dish. Despite this, I would consider returning to try other menu items. Additionally, this restaurant offers ample seating and parking.

I went and ordered 3 quesobirria tacos with pina agua Fresca and salsa verde. The food was delicious and the service was very welcoming. I paid about $30 which is pretty high, and there was a fly or two circling where I had sat. The dining room was clean with many seatings options for different group sizes but I hope that they have the opportunity to update it. The only thing that would stop me from coming would be the price, but that service was so friendly, and the food so good, I might regardless.

We tried this place based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. The food was very good. We had the ramen and Grumpy's burrito - both very, very good. We felt like they can't decide if they are a sit-down restaurant or a fast food place. It felt a little spendy for what we got, but still very good. Worth a try!

Price of items on the display board didn't match what was being rang up on the register.

Service as really bad. Waiter seems more concerned about chatting it up with his co workers than actually place our order. There were three tables and one was getting irritated waiting for their cheque to be sent to them. The ambiance is just...off. The food as some have mentioned, looks bland and lifeless. Considering their sign is a banner over the other sign of the previous restaurant, that's what you need to pay attention to. Do not go here. It's not worth the headache.

food prolly woulda been good if they were actually open like their hours stated on 3 different sites. bruh i was hungry too like that shit isnt even cool. And what made it worse was they had flashing lights in the dining room and it looked hella lit..they hyped me up for no reason ill give an update for the food nd service when i eventually heal from this trauma and come back bro i was gonna go for my bday too like that just makes it sting extra hard do better birrieria grumpys..do better. had to thug it out and go to taco bell after

This place deserves a mic drop. Dios mío I inhaled the food. Thank you so much for this amazing lunch spot on our way to Mt. Rainier national park. - Birria Ramen: 5/5 once I added mucho limón and hot sauce. But I pretty much add that to everything. - Birria fries: 5/5. I lived two years in SD and was blown away by carne asada fries and the one thing I felt LA could never do well. Well, these birria fries were BOMB. Privilege to have had the opportunity to stuff my face with them. And yes, I did add a bunch of limón and some hot sauce. Great place. Very friendly staff.

In WA for work and was searching for some good food. Being from Chicago, it's hard to find food that compares to our city but there are some gems in WA including this one. Here on a quiet Tuesday night. Only customer at the moment but the restaurant is very welcoming. The decor, the music, it all screams authentic cuisine. Trini was my server and was extremely helpful. Had several recommendations for me; quesabirria tacos and a steak "grumpy" taco. I'm bummed I can't try the grumpy taco as is due to my small spice threshold. It comes with habanero sauce. I opted for it without and the taste was incredible. I added some green sauce she recommended and I demolished the taco. One of the best steak tacos I've ever had. The quesabirria meal is served with two tacos and consume. Huge portions! From the first bite I knew it was going to make me feel happy and completely satisfied. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town and will recommend this to anyone in or out of the Seattle area.

I really wanted birria tacos and close to us was this place it was new to us so we decided to try it. Upon arrival it was empty we stopped at the counter and the guy said to order there. Once more customers arrived white were seated and then they took their order there? Not sure what happened. The prices seemed high but we hoped it was good. It was not, the taste of the birria it self was mid the broth needed flavor, the sauces are okay. The quesabirrias tasted better bc the cheese added flavor. Ordered 2 birria ramens my kids did not eat so that speaks for it self it had a weird smell pretty sure it was top ramen so for the price not worth it. The jaimaca was good but it was artificial. Will not be coming back.

Bland, expensive and not as advertised. My mediocre chicken flautas didn't come with the rice and beans I thought they would (they were in the Dinner section which states served with rice and beans) Got the grumpy sampler and was underwhelmed plus it didn't come with the guac. A strange thing happened too when I was checking out- it's cafeteria style where you order at the front, an 18% gratuity was added on without my consent? I'm all about tipping but I'd like to have a say and cafeteria style wouldn't really warrant more than a 10% tip IMHO. Rice and beans had to be ordered as a separate side and were super bland - a huge let down for $6 extra. Definitely won't be coming back here, which sucks I had high hopes! Appetizer Sampler, 2 fish tacos, flautas, kids nuggets, rice and beans side plus chips and salsa (meager portion no refills) was $108. Insane.

I just started working in Renton and I am still exploring many of the food options. Birrieria Grumpys was a random find while looking for a quick and tasty dinner. I ordered the quesadilla and it exceeded my expectations! It was massive - I enjoyed half of it for dinner that night and the other half for lunch the next day. Packed with meat, wonderfully cheesy, and had this slightly spicy green sauce that was a great compliment with the meal. I grabbed the order to go - picking it up myself. The inside of the establishment looked pretty clean. There was a lot of construction going on in the parking lot, but it was still easy enough to find parking. As for the to-go order, the tasty green sauce was packed in a tied-up zip lock bag - that was kind of strange, but it didn't take away from the flavor. Excited to go back!

Super delicious tacos with a delicious consommé. The people who were very nice there. One person might've been new, but she was trying her best. Another lady noticed that they forgot to give us mango margaritas and she sweetly tried to give us our money back. We said no.it's a very old-school place that was a bit rustic, but was compensated by how delicious its food was. The best ones I've had.

SO AMAZING WE LOVE THIS PLACE. Kids loved all the food too, family friendly, great prices! A variety to the menu too! Husband loved the burrito, food was so good, even my 6 and 4 year old ate all the food! Great, friendly service as well.

Per Yelp this place was open til 11. We arrived at 9:40. When the lady inside saw us walking up, she unlocked the door and said they were closed. I advised that Yelp said 11 which is why we showed up, she stated they close at 10. Since it was 9:40 and open for another 20 minutes, I asked if we could still order but she looked at us awkwardly so we just decided to leave.

The cashier and service were nice and friendly, but I was really disappointed with the food given the high price of $13 for 2 quesabirria tacos and consome. There wasn't much meat, and where are the radishes, pickled onions, cilantro, limes, etc.???

Came with a group of kids and parents after a sporting event at Starfire sports. We cam close to closing time but the staff were gracious and helpful with ordering food and drinks. It's always nice to have a cold drink after a long day of watching kids sports and Grumpys delivers on that! Food was good and it was a good place to visit for a bite. Relaxed atmosphere.

Food needs more flavor... taste like it can use a bit more of tomato bouillon. Rice needed flavor, the beans were okay. First time in Seattle trying Mexican food and prob won't be doing it again. To add to the story.... I asked for more limes since they had only given me 1 half of a half of a lime for ramen ! And they charged me $1.59 for the side lol? You are running a "Mexican" restaurant... in a Mexican culture you don't charge for limes. I can see why this place has "good" ratings cause this is all the people out here know... if you are not going ti have good flavor in your food please don't over price.

It was odd not to sit and order food first but still pay ordered and paid, $86.00 + $20.00 tip before I even sat down. We didn't get chips and salsa which was a bummer. We did get an app, the bacon wrapped jalapeños. There were 3, we didn't receive small plates or utensils, the napkin dispenser was out at every table except one-- that we had to take from. We got a couple plates of (2) quesobirrieria tacos. No salsa, lime, scarce cilantro and onion. The consume sauce was more liquidity than i wished it was. The service was nice.

Came back and got a quesadilla birria w/ consume, so good and filling. Ate two and saved two for later, only thing missing was lime.

They may wrap everything in a tortilla of some shape or size but that's not a reason to call it Mexican food. Chicken fajitas were absolutely flavorless! Rice was comparable to white minute rice. And, that ain't salsa people!!! I'm giving 2 stars because the taco was okay but nothing to write home about. Sorry guys...I love my Mexican food and this falls far below my standards!

We had heard about this place a lot but the food was average. Would not recommend to dine in as the ambiance of the restaurant is not that nice. The service was not that good as well we had to wait for food and even to get some water. They did not give salsa with the food.

The Birria taco was aromatic, juicy and flavorful. The consume that accompanied it was lacking in flavor to my dismay. It was more watery while the flavor rested in the tacos. Over all it was a good experience I did wait 10 minutes for my to go order after arriving so it was fairly quick service. The place is decorated in traditional Mexican festive decorations. The restaurant sits right next to a construction site. The drive thru is out of commission please DO NOT be like me and go through the nail infested "drive-thru". Thank you for the food Grumpys!

Came in since I was having a craving for birria tacos, and Birrieria Grumpys delivered!! I regret only ordering the normal birria tacos, but my stomach felt like it was best at the time HAH. I will definitely need to return to try the quesa-birria tacos. The meet was so tender, and the consume was flavorful without being too oily. The portions are large but not too overwhelming. I would say 2 tacos was perfect for me, but the nachos would need to be split between two people. I ordered the horchata, which I didn't love (too milky with not enough spices), but the food outweighed this for me by a mile. Inside is very large, so it would be ideal for large groups, and you order at the counter, so food is delivered to your table number as it's ready.

If you are a fan of barria this is the place!! Been here 3 times before writing review and it has been consistently delicious! Always, freshly made with fresh ingredients and sauces. The staff is also incredibly kind.

Do Not come here! Food taste old, microwave heated tortillas, place is dusty and food is way too expensive! Horrible experience! One star to be able to rate!

We came here after seeing this place on Instagram. I love birria tacos after having them in AZ so we came here. The location is pretty secluded but it's a nice place inside. You order your food at the front and they bring it to your table. They have ample seating inside and a nice ambiance. We both had the birria taco special with 2 birria tacos and consome. We also had a side of rice and beans. The 2 tacos were HUGE and absolutely amazing. They were queso birria with melted cheese and the consome and meat were high quality. The rice was also delicious and simple. The flavor was bursting in it all. That is why the beans were a little upsetting. They were plain pinto beans and they did not add seasoning or flavoring. They were the only thing at the table I didn't like. We also had chips and salsa and they came with 3 different salsas. None of them were chunky. They were all runny with 2 regular green and red spicy options and a creamier guac based salsa. The red was not my favorite but the two green were amazing. I will definitely be returning!!

Food was great. Loved the ramen. Nestled in between the casinos on Interurban. Would definitely recommend if you're in Tukwila.

I really enjoy the soup here, the ramen noodles are good and the deep rich broth is amazing! The Birrieria is tender and in abundance in the soup. A nice touch if radish and a squeeze of lime bring a brightness. I had the wrapped jalapeños this time and they were filled with cheese and more meet, delicious and you never know what heat will be there, they were perfect. They are never busy which is too bad because the food and service are excellent. They do have a counter where you order and the bring your food to you at your table. The ambiance is interesting, lots of windows and booths or you can choose a table. It is roomy and bright.

Ambiance (0/5) - this place needs a renovation. The sofa was badly torn. Service (0/5) - very slow service, we waited for drinks for at-least 30 mins and they forgot to bring salsa upon request Food - Chicken Burrito (2/5) Birriera Quesadillas (3.5/5) Not going to this place again

I don't write reviews I just look on the app for places to eat, but this place was horrible. I am from out of town looking for something to eat, and decided to get something to eat I went in around 9pm on a Saturday, completely dead. We did a to-go order and I got a quesadilla birria, and birria fries, doesn't come with consume NOR lime, Would not recommend coming if you're looking for Mexican food on the weekend.

Sooooo freaking amazing. This is for real the most authentic Mexican I've had since I've been in Washington. The actual restaurant is kind of weird and outdated but don't let that stop you!!

I only had drinks at this restaurant, so I cannot comment on the food. I tried the margarita and Mojito. The margarita was very good, but the Mojito was average. The staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. I will definitely try the food during my next visit.

We decided to try a different Birrieria place since the delivery fee was less than where we normally order. First look at the guacamole photo. This is how it arrived dark and inedible. The sauces were not in containers but baggies that could easily be punctured. So the outside was greasy. The consommé was in a small paper cup that could've easily been tampered with. It was mainly grease. So I threw it away. My tacos were ok, not as much flavor as the other cheese tacos I get for other Birrierias. My husband said the burrito was ok. Since there are other Birrieria places around, I won't be pressing from this place again. It's too bad because I like supporting local small businesses, but if I'm sent products like what is pictured, I won't support this business.

I love my tacos and wish the tortillas were sometimes less dry and more flavorful. Birria is exactly what I'm looking for and Grumpys does not disappoint! Birria tacos are more pricey than normal tacos, but I think it's worth it. Food here is as filling as any other spot so price may seem intimidating, but you will likely be full or satisfied from one to one and a half items, so averaging $10-15 a person. To start, they have a large parking lot which is extremely convenient and easily makes the trip and experience worthwhile. No need to drive around looking for parking and eventually deciding to park far away and having to walk. I heard the crunch wrap was the MVP and the birria ramen is a pass, so I definitely took note of that. Birria ramen sounds so interesting but I believe it's unconventional for a reason and probably isn't as good as birria tacos. However, it is cheap for ramen so maybe worthwhile trying. Crunchwrap - the downside is that this item lays on a bed of oil. Very messy but flavorful. At first the outside looked dry so we were like okay cool, we have the birria from the tacos to dip. We didn't need it, but it did taste better dipped! The inside was saucy (and greasy) so it was not dry at all. Quesabirria tacos - a much cleaner option than the crunchwrap, these birria tacos are not leaking oil. We opted for the quesabirria over the birria taco because cheese sounded good. They're pretty solid on their own but the birria dip was fantastic. Rich broth that's not overwhelming and it enhances the tacos. Would definitely order both items again, but lean towards the quesabirria tacos for ease of eating and being a more simple item. Not to say the crunchwrap wasn't good, but it's definitely a heavier item.

Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Food 100000/10 This place is AMAZING. Also the best michelada I've had here in western Washington. Can't wait to come back and try something new!

Made another attempt to purchase from Too Good To Go app and once again, I showed up during the time it was to pick up my food but the store was closed. This is absurd. Two wasted trips for orders that were placed and never fulfilled. Had to file to get a refund from Too Good To Go.

The food was great. Margaritas better than most I've had. The service fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I highly recommend.

Birria was great! We got the Birria quesadilla and the queso birria tacos! Both very good! We got it to go and ate it outside by our car since it was sunny! They put the consume in a small to go coffee cup! Soo smart! I wanted to it drink after I was done dipping it was soo good!

the food was great. I had the beef enchiladas. It tasted home cooked. Great astmosphere and customer service.

With only one person in Front she was amazing at keeping us happy. The food was good not great. Our second order of tacos were fabulous! The broth was wonderful. Ramen was fun. It definitely was an old Italian restaurant converted and not quite finished. But definitely worth going.

Birria potato and ramen are fire. The menu a season meat is tops. Very friendly atmosphere. Has "futbol" on in depending on the season

I was definitely not grumpy after my experience at Grumpys! Happened to be down south so I gave them a try. I got two Beef Birria Tacos and some chips with guacamole. Don't think I'd ever seen tacos done this way. They give you a little side of au jus (their own style of it anyway). It was all fantastic. Lovely service and the restaurant is clean. Try it now!

Super friendly staff. Seems family owned or that employees have fun while working, I like that. Happy employees means better food in my experience. This Birria ramen did not disappoint! It was delicious! The meat was perfectly flavored! The side sauces were really good especially the red sauce. A lot of flav and great selection in their menu. Will definitely be coming back!

Have to thank the IG algorithm for putting this place on my radar. It was so good! There were 4 people in our group, we all ordered different things and all loved what we had. I ordered the birria ramen, la mulita and flan for dessert. The ramen was exactly what I was hoping it would be- flavorful, well made and hot. The perfect food for a chilly winter evening. The service was great, our food came out quickly and we had everything we needed. Absolutely recommend and we will be back!

Id been craving birria and Grumpys is the bomb. I got the queso birria tacos and my wife got the ramen. The tacos were crisp and the meat tender and delicious. My wifes ramen had the same great beef and a rich meaty broth. Complimentary salsas were all amazing as well. Everythings a good deal and its a friendly family spot with alot of indoor space for big groups, music playing, and tvs with the game on. They also have a big lot with plenty of parking. I do think they should rename the taco meal tacos plural instead of singular tho. It says if you order 2 tacos it comes with the consume for dipping and the menu words it as one taco for like 10 bucks. It does in fact come with 2 good size filling tacos and the consume by default rather than having you order 2 really expensive tacos to get the sauce.

Delicious! Service was great, ambiance was perfect.. the music they had playing was great. Food was delicious!!!!!! Some consume I've had in the bast are oily and just not good, by far the best consume I've had with my birria tacos. We ordered a Torta Crunchwrap Birria tacos Ramen birria Choco flan Rice pudding Strawberry & Guava fresh drink They bring you salsas, and all so flavorful!!! Wish I would of ordered the burrito as well. Next time.

Excellent, excellent, excellent! I like to consider myself a pretty good judge of Mexican food as I am from SoCal and have had my share of good and bad. So many places make flautas that are soggy. Not Grumpy's. Very crispy with a decent amount of chicken and fresh veggies on top. Dunk into the amazing green sauce and you have a meal fit for a king. I've had these 4 times and they are always great. So happy they are consistent. Time to start trying a few other things because I bet it's all wonderful!

The food was pretty tasty, service was slower but that was expected after reading the reviews. I ordered birria fries, meat was tasty, but I wish it had some consommé on the meat before going on the fries. It was essentially lightly seasoned shredded beef on fries with a small amount of beans and lots of cheese. Don't get me wrong, it was good, just not real birria tasting. My husband ordered the pork belly and jalapeño burrito. We aren't really sure that's what he got because it didn't taste like jalapeños and the pork looked more like shredded pork not belly. Either way it was good. Still uncertain about the chicharrones and whether they come with or not. The server made it seem like they came with the food, but then we never got them. Good food either way. The michelada was salty, and for $12, maybe not worth it. Worthy of coming back if we are at a rugby game again? Maybe.

I initially heard of Birrieria Grumpys because of their birria ramen, which was a combination that really intrigued me! To go with the ramen, we ordered the birria fries and a slice of the flan for dessert. Our meal totaled ~$30. I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I tried the ramen, but I enjoyed eating it! It tasted exactly like how it sounds - consume broth with birria meat and instant ramen noodles. I can see it being comfort food, especially good for a rainy day. The fries came out on a large plate and had a generous amount of toppings. I liked finding the chunks of birria meat throughout, as it was cooked well. One critique I had was that the fries were very soft/soggy. Because of this, the dish was just one texture. It was difficult for me to finish the fries towards the end. Having crispy fries would definitely help with the texture profile. Lastly, we finished our dinner with a slice of flan. Being quite pricey at $7, I was expecting a punch of flavor for such a small piece. However, it fell short of my expectations. There was a chocolate base layer that only had a light hint of chocolate. The texture was interesting, as it seemed like a really thick rice pudding block. The flan itself was just alright. It didn't have the milky/eggy flavor that most other flan have. The combination of the chocolate layer and flan layer didn't add much to the experience.

This place has really good birria for a reasonable price! Plates range from $10-15. We got the combo plate, the 3 taco plate, a margarita, and plantains. The meat was tender and flavorful. The consome was rich. Everything came out piping hot. Tables and bathrooms were clean and the staff was nice. Will definitely return to try more items on the menu!

Amazing Food and Amazing Service! She helped with recommendations and even turned on the NFL game for us.
