It was a lil slow for them at this time, the music vibe was great great on the TV screen! I had my first Mulita with flour Instead of corn tortillas, and it was absolutely amazing! Delicious but I can only eat half!

The Birria tacos are phenomenal, best I’ve ever had! The chili oil though is what makes this place out of this world, it’s insanely delicious, perfect heat with delicious flavors. The prices are super fare, beautiful little restaurant! Truly loved this place so much!

No need to drive to Mexico or anywhere else in San Diego when you can get authentic Birrieria here.These birria tacos are both tender and succulent thanks to the slow-cooked consume that they serve you. I ordered the lamb and beef and the lamb should be your 1st try. It's tasty! Also their Al Pastor mini tacos where needed to finish up on the awesome broth. Worth the drive here any day!

Some of the best birrieria tacos I've had. Very chill place. A good serving size and excellent flavors. Don't sleep on the rice and beans, they are outstanding.

Lovely little spot near the Beach, first time here and had to ride around a few times to find parking, This place is neat, cozy, the location is very well maintained and clean, I ordered the Goat meat Queso Birria Taco, portion is huge and filled me up! (Try the Chili Arbol sauce) if you want a extra kick, well worth the price and Aracelli was very welcoming and helpful and Bilingual! This is the spot for me in San Diego!!! Will visit again!
