    Quesadillas
    Caroline J.

    This is a SECRET gem in San Diego. Literally one of the best quesadillas I've had in a LONG time. The meat is extremely tender and melts in your mouth, which pairs really well with the slightly crisp exterior. I also tried the Birria tacos and a quesadilla pizza, which were also EXTREMELY on point. I would go OUT OF MY WAY to get this.

    I loved this food truck!! Im always looking for more birria places and im so glad to have seen this one! I believe their hours first said they close around 6 or 7 but we called and they were open later! Staff were very friendly and our food came out quickly! We got the quesataco and rolled taco. Both were excellent!! Quesataco isn't the best i've ever had but I still enjoyed it. Rolled tacos were SO GOOD though. Was probably my favorite item! The seating it all standing seating, but there was plenty! I believe they are mostly in the parking lot in Linda Vista, but theres lots of parking and its very accessible! I would def come here again

    We live so close to Birria Spot and so glad we tried it! Everything they have taste so good!! We have ordered their Birria Vampiro, Grilled Cheese with Consome, and their Birria Ramen and nothing disappointed!! Fernanda was the one that took our order and she was super friendly!(: if you're in the area definitely recommend and totally worth the wait!!

    Soo good ! I used to go down to San Ysidro just for Birria tacos, and I'm soo happy that the is truck popped up in Linda Vista. The guy warned me about the Quesabirria size and I still went for it- a slice in, I was stuffed ! Very great, sufficing portions and friendly customer service. I don't mind if the prices are shy higher than another taco/ Birria truck because this is QUALITY for sure ! Overall, I will for sure make this my go to place for Birria tacos

    $20 worth of food

    Was looking to grab some quick takeout mexican and came across this spot right off the 163 and gennesse. Its a food truck semi permanently parked on the American legion parking lot on the corner. Menu is limited, even more so when they told me thier fryer was down. So I ordered 2 tacos and the quesadilla. Total with tax and tip was $20. This better be some dam goood birria for that price. Took a seat while waiting for my food, they have a few bar tops with high chairs scattered under a pop up awning as well as a 2 tables with 4 chairs set up. Not too long later they brought out my food telling me that the hot sauce was also in there. Got home and opened up the bag and was immediately disappointed in the portion sizes. Even the hot sauce they included was underwhelming. It was first time I had gotten hot sauce in baggies like I was buying some drugs. Reminded me of baggies of crack you see on tv and in movies being sold o the streets. Pretty funny until you realize this is no where near enough sauce for a meal. I first tried the taco, with the red hot sauce. The taco was good, good tasting birria and fresh onions and cilantro, and a nice tasting tortilla. The hot sauce didn't even last a single taco. Up next is the quesadilla. This was the highlight of my meal. Cheesy meaty goodness, this was worth the $10 price tag. Plenty of cheese, plenty of meat, great flavor. Overall good food but the portion size is a little off for the price. Definitely ask for more hot sauce. 2 dime bags isn't enough.

    Taco Tuesday special: 3 quesa tacos for $10
    Hopey B.

    This spot recommended by a friend and I'm kicking myself for not going sooner!! I had their Taco Tuesday special: 3 quesa tacos for $10. Gotta start out with basics at a new place, amiright?? Anyways, it was deeeeeeelicious!! The only thing was the salsa could use more heat (I LOVE spicy!!). Will definitely be back!!

    Just ate there on impulse and was not disappointed. Prices were great and service was pretty quick. Solid location on the corner of Genesse and Linda Vista Rd. I will be going back.

    Queso Birria Taco
    Michelle C.

    Delicious, Delicious, Delicious!!!!! This place is awesome. Friendly service and delicious food. I got the queso birria taco and the flavors were amazing!! I went back for seconds.

    birria quesatacos

    Delicious! We ordered birria quesatacos, birria fries, and the birria pizza. Quesatacos: crispy, juicy, and flavorful. Definitely recommend. It doesn't come with consommé, but the meat is juicy enough. Birria fries: surprisingly light, a good balance to heavier tacos. Birria pizza: 8 large slices of heavily topped double later crispy tortillas. Comes with a side of consommé. Worth the $18!

    Birria Quesadilla you get full easily and it taste so good. Get the consome

    Best birria spot. Hands down. So glad I found this gem in San Diego. And they're really cool stag. I go there once a week with my friends. Not gonna be surprised if I gain weight lol

    Birria tacos

    Ohh my gosh been wanting to try this place since it is close by and it was delicious! My girlfriend and I had the birria tacos and consume. The flavor was on point. We will definitely be back to try more items. The service is nice, friendly, and fast which is always a plus ! Must try and they have reasonable prices.

    HEAVENLY. Ever since i've moved to San Diego back in December of 2023 this has been my GO TO spot…read more This place has such a variety of options including their salsa bar. The adobada here is insanely tasty, I always get the adobada tacos and I never skip adobada fries when i'm with friends. This place has never failed me with their consistency and great service. I could honestly not think of any cons about this place. Coming from someone who's been to every corner of the world these tacos are a 10/10 . If you like mexican food, these tacos alone will change your life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    Tacos El Gordo has always been my go-to spot when I come home, and the food is still good, but some…read moreof the changes have turned me off a bit. The biggest change is the ordering process. You now have to pay first, then wait for your food to be made. I actually preferred the old setup where you could walk to the different stations, pick your tacos, watch them prepare everything fresh, get it packed up, and then pay at the end. It felt like part of the experience. We also have to talk about the pricing. I remember when these tacos were around $1.25 each. Now they're over $4 for a mini street taco. I understand this is California and the cost of goods has increased, but that is a drastic jump. That said, I don't want to take away from the food because the tacos are still excellent. I ordered two buche tacos and a quesadilla, and both were 10 out of 10. They don't miss when it comes to seasoning and flavor. The service is still quick as well. My only real complaint is the price. It feels overpriced for what you're getting, and honestly, it may explain why there weren't many people there when we visited. There were only a handful of customers inside. The food is still worth trying, but be prepared for some serious sticker shock.

I took my tacos to go so can't speak to the table service. However since I was traveling back to North County the tacos held up well, as I asked for all veggies and salsa on the side. The to go service is easy there is a small register by the kitchen where someone takes your order. Ordered the al pastor and asada tacos. My favorite was the asada, the meat was tender and perfectly cooked and you get a decent amount of meat inside each taco. Once the veggies and salsa were added, they were oh so good. The al pastor thought the meat was dry almost like it had been sitting under the heat lamp or grill for too long. Overall good experience and good tacos. Will need to be back to other options and their dine in experience. I tried their green and red spicy salsa and both had a good kick. Minus 1 start due to their parking lot, it's so narrow and always busy, so you either need to wait until someone leaves and then maneuver your car back and forth several times to attempt to park.
