"Speedy Wey was just what my sister and I expected from reading previous reviews. We arrived before 7pm on a weekday. It was a perfect time because there were two tables available and people already seated eating. We were greeted by a friendly lady Paola (I am sure I spelled it wrong my apologies) she asked us to give her a few minutes. This gave us time to view the menu. However, I've been looking for a local eatery like this and knew exactly what I wanted. Now I would like you to get the idea out of your head that this is a restaurant with waiters and waitresses and several chefs. This is a neighborhood eatery that has been noticed by someone and was plastered all over the internet (hence how we found it) for good reason. Remember you won't be seated, if you decide to dine in there is a wait if no tables are available. They do take phone orders and you can pick up (we were prepared to take out if we were unable to be seated). We didn't find a park in front of the restaurant, however at the light as you pass the restaurant we made a right and there were several parks. I didn't find the neighborhood to be bad as mentioned in some reviews. I don't fear for my life when I see a group of people outside enjoying themselves, which they were pleasant and spoke to my sister and I. Paola returned and we placed our order for the Birria Pizza, Ramen Birria small and a large shrimp Ramen birria, pineapple strawberry Jarritos Mexican drinks. The place did become extremely crowded and I could hear customers saying it was their 1st time and they came because of the internet hype. There was a wait for the food to come out which we didn't mind because we were able to entertain ourselves watching people attempt to use these 2 highchairs at the back of the store for seating. There was one couple determined to make it work for them, they were impatient and rude. The food was worth the wait! I was highly impressed. We will be back again. If you decide to go please remember there will be a wait so be patient or order ahead, also keep your expectations of appearance as mentioned in previous reviews and you won't be disappointed Enjoy!! I had food left over that I warmed up the next day for lunch (I added a pack of store bought Ramen, just the noodles). The taste was even better the next day."
