About Little Hop

Brunswick Street’s go-to haunt for masa and agave keeps things fast, dim, and vinyl-fueled. Dark corners, giant melted candles, and analog sound set the tone for an unpretentious taquería run. Regulars lean into the birria tacos—rich, stewed beef tucked into warm tortillas ready to dip straight into spiced consomé. Order individually across beef brisket, crisp-battered fish, and mushroom, washed down with a mezcal margarita or a cold craft tap. On Tuesdays, the room fills quickly for three-taco specials backed by a wall of hot sauces. Plates land fast at curbside tables and bar stools before the next record drops.

  • Standout Birria: Slow-simmered beef birria served with spiced dipping consomé, alongside fresh guacamole and street corn.
  • Vinyl & Candlelight: A cozy taquería bar with melted candles, dim lighting, and records spinning funk and soul through an analog system.
  • Agave & Single Tacos: Mix-and-match tacos ordered individually, paired with dedicated mezcal, craft pints, and fresh margaritas.
  • Taco Tuesdays: Discounted taco sets and happy hour drink pours offer dependable value on weeknights without reservations.

  • Late-Night Refuge with Fresh Kitchen Service

    When other Fitzroy kitchens have closed for the night, Little Hop keeps serving hot, freshly prepared birria and tacos to rescue night-owls and bar-hoppers.

    Two restaurants have turned us away. We find this place and it has the most fire tacos????

    Kitchens continue serving fresh, full-flavor tacos and sides late into the evening after nearby venues have closed their doors.

  • Mix and Match Individual Tacos
