Birria Tacos
Our most talked-about dish. Slow-braised beef, hand-pressed tortillas, and a consommé that people have been known to order a second bowl of. A Logan Square staple for over a decade.

Grandma's Recipes.
Her Kitchen. Your Table.
Real Oaxacan cooking — birria tacos, house-made mole negro, and weekend lamb barbacoa — the way Rosa Rodriguez has made them for a lifetime. This is not a chain. This is family.
Reservations strongly recommended · Walk-ins welcome if space allows
Our Story
Eleven Years of Feeding Logan Square
Rodriguez Family Kitchen started in 2013 with a single goal: cook the food our grandmother Rosa brought with her from Oaxaca, Mexico — and do it justice. Every mole negro is made from scratch using her original recipe. Every tortilla starts the same way it always has. Nothing comes from a bag or a can if we can help it.
We're a real family restaurant — a small dining room, a back patio in summer, and a team that has known most of our regulars by name for years. Dine-in only, Tuesday through Sunday. We've never done delivery and we don't plan to. Some things are better eaten at the table.
If you want to taste what Oaxacan home cooking actually feels like, we've got 60 seats inside and your name is welcome on the reservation list.

This Is the Real Thing
Recipes That Can't Be Faked
Our mole negro, birria, and barbacoa come from Rosa Rodriguez's personal recipes — brought from Oaxaca and unchanged for generations. You won't find this food at a chain. You won't find it anywhere nearby, either.
A Neighbourhood Restaurant That Actually Knows You
Eleven years in Logan Square means we've cooked for first dates, anniversaries, quinceañeras, and everything in between. Small dining room, familiar faces, and a team that genuinely wants your night to be good.
