What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ One of the best places to get Mexican food in San Diego! We always get the beef birria tacos when we're in the neighborhood, and they're always authentic & delicious. My friend also got a shrimp taco, which she said was amazing. The menu is in Spanish, but ask for the English version if you need. ”
“ Good spot for birria tacos. Two taco combo plus drink does not come with the birria dip sauce. $10 is a bit expensive for only two tacos and a drink, but they are tasty. My shirt did rip on the exposed nails on the fence outside of the restaurant, so that was a bummer ”
“ Came in for the ceviche and it was really good. Tastes just like they make it in TJ with all the condiments on the side to add some spice or sweetness. The waiter was cool, he hooked it up with the tostada's. ”
“ Food was on mega point!!!!!! Exquisite. Place was small but busy. Service was great and very attentive. Food was great and did not skimp meat. Good amount of meat. Definitely recommend this location. Next time I want to try the menudo, looked good. Very good prices for the food. ”
“ Note: the workers here only spoke Spanish when I visited, but that really added to the experience as they were professional and kind as we all made the attempt to get the order correct (I’m still learning because why not communicate with all people?). I didn’t know this, but it is self seating and they will come to you. I purchased the regular birria taco and the birria con queso. Both were excellent in terms of flavor, temperature, and texture. Highly recommend this spot! ”
