Tacos Mariana's is a hidden gem on University Ave! 🌮 The vibrant decor immediately catches your eye as you walk in, creating a cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for a casual meal.

We indulged in the incredible birria tacos, which came with a cheesy tortilla and a rich dipping broth - simply divine! The guacamole is a must-try, as it has a unique flavor that perfectly complements the tacos.

While the food took a bit longer to arrive, it was piping hot and well worth the wait. Just a tip: the biggest table seats only four, so maybe head here with a small group. Can’t wait to come back for more! 🎉
