Have been doing to this location for a few years. We make it a point to go whenever we are on the way to the outlets near Cabazon. First things first, the restaurant location and the inside is nothing to write home about. There are ample tables there. The restroom works, but is nothing remotely close to fancy. That being said, we come to places like this for the food.. and let me tell you, this is the best favorite tacos in all of SoCal. Highlights would be the quesa- Birria tacos and the regular Birria tacos on a Tuesday. Tacos are pretty big with 2 being enough for me. For the smaller street tacos in other places I would need closer to 4 tacos. Service: 5 Food: 5+ Ambiance: low 3's Overall this place gets a 5! read more

We were on our way to Palm Springs when we found this hidden gem by Riverside via a quick yelp search. As the name suggests, this spot is mainly about Birria . If you like Birria , you will love this place. I was hoping to get few other options in my tacos (Chicken , Pork ...) but they only had chicken wings and for Tacos, only the Birria meat. We went for standard QueseoBirrias and it was very good. A bit over greasy per my wife but I loved it. The consume that we ordered on the side was very good too. Service is standard that you would expect out of a casual place like this. Ambience also is pretty routine. Overall , I loved this place but wife found it very greasy. read more

Everything I've had here is amazing, but the Birria sandwich is my favorite. It's not a Torta, it's like a grilled cheese stuffed with Birria. It's always toasted perfectly and so good to dip in the consume. The Ramen's stellar, the Birria Nachos are great, the salsa has a ton of flavor. They have a newer chili oil salsa which is outstanding, the regular has a little kick. The chili oil is legit spicy. The consume has so much flavor and isn't too salty. I started getting a side of chips - which they make fresh to order. And I dip them in the remaining consume. While there are other good local birria spots, this is at the top. And, is the only one I've ever seen a Birria Sandwich. Which might be my favorite item to get anywhere. Everything's made fresh and the prices are good. I get a Birria sandwich with fries, a side of consume and a bottle of Pacifico for like $21. The owner also super nice, every time I go I feel welcomed. I like supporting small local businesses, especially ones where the food's this amazing. And one thing that really stands out, I've eaten here probably 25 times. It's always incredible, I've never had even a so so meal here. With the exception of In N Out, I can't name many spots that I know will be delicious every time. The consistency's 100%. This is one of maybe 5 places I can recommend to anyone with complete confidence read more

The birria is De-lish-us!!! All the food we ordered was great! This is our second time coming and the cashier was helpful and efficient. The place is clean but sparsely decorated...but you come here for the great birria! They sell drinks at the full bar and beers as well. read more

simple interior with good food! Cashier provided recommendations and brought out the food very quickly. We ordered 2 quesabirria tacos, 1 consome, and a dorado taco combo. I appreciate they packed th tacos with so much meat. 2 tacos were very filling by itself. The tacos held their shape and the flavors of the meat and the consome were delicious. read more

We took this home so it's probably even better than how it was when we got home, but oh boy it was totally worth it. Is it the best taco in California? Probably not, but it definitely represents! The quesabirria was my favorite and they do not skimp on the meat let me tell you. The consomme was delicious and definitely worth getting with your tacos. We also got the birria fries with everything on it and it was just as delicious. But if you have to get only one thing, it's the quesabirria! Very nice staff too. read more

Ordered chow on DoorDash for my buddy who is taking down my 2d bathroom today. It's a dirty dusty chore, and I am sitting here in air conditioning, so he deserves something good. Got him a burrito to fill the belly and a "Quesabirria" which is like a quesadilla crossed with a birria taco. It was a Big Hit. I will take Mrs. Yelper here soon. read more

Birrieria Little Tijuana - Tacos Near Me - Riverside, California

After hearing Birria Little Tijuana was crowned the taco overlord of California, I grabbed my stretchy pants and went in w high expectations and low sodium levels. We ordered the quesabirria and the birria ramen, which was... aggressively seasoned, let's say. Like, did the consomé and ramen packet have a salty little fistfight and both won? I've had better birria... I'm not saying it was horrible, but I can't say it's the best either... but the tacos? Solid!! Crunchy, juicy, like a meat hug in tortilla form. But that consomé in the birria ramen? Bruh.... Saltier than my worst enemy reading my food blog!! I took one sip and my tongue filed a complaint w HR. Still, flavor-wise... it was good. Just bring a gallon of water and maybe a blood pressure monitor. Sorry, I can't agree w the majority that this is the best birria around. read more

Ate the food before I even got the chance to get photos! We were put onto this spot from a client recommendation while on set during a production and was noted as "the number one best rated birria in California" so obviously we had to try it out. I came in with reserved expectations so I don't overhype a restaurant. One of the best spots for quesobirrias I have ever been to. My group and I was about to take our order to-go to eat on the road but realized how much of a mess that would have been with the mixture of bumpy roads and consomé. So after an awkward re-entry we were greeted kindly by the employee up front! The birria had tender meat and all of the fixings were plentiful and generously portioned. We also had the birria quesadillas and the cheese and beef were absolutely top quality. Agua fresca and horchata were fresh and flavorful and didn't feel diluted when we were served them. 10/10 hospitality from the staff as they were offering free refills for our agua frescas which tasted amazing and helped beat the heat after a long day of production. Interior was a quaint and there were enough tables to go around for the off-rush hours but I can definitely imagine how packed and crowded this place would be during their more popular hours. I would definitely come back to this spot if I am ever in SoCal again and would make the trek even if I'm a few cities away! read more

I'm not sure how much they paid somebody to advertise that they were the best taco in southern California. That's just nonsense. I wouldn't even say the top 10. Are they the best place to eat in home Gardens for sure because home Gardens is a shit hole not a place you want to be caught at night and unless you're packing a weapon. And I personally never leave home without one. It's located in a shopping center in an area that's heavily known for criminal activity. read more

Birrieria Little Tijuana - Combo Birria - Tacos Near Me - Riverside, California

I'm sitting here writing this review with a full and happy belly! This place often comes up as "the best birria spot", so I knew I had to try it! From the outside, it is small and unassuming, located in the middle of a little strip of businesses and a quiet parking lot. Inside is small but has plenty of seating available. Staff is friendly; a man greeted me happily when I walked in and quickly took my order. Having never been here, I wasn't sure what to expect as far as portion sizes or what orders include, so I started off with a quesabirria combo that includes beans and rice. I did not know before ordering but this includes 2 tacos! Be advised, it's a good portion of food. I asked what Agua Frescas they have today, and chose a pepin y Limon. It was cold, refreshing, and perfect on a hot day! The man taking my order let me know that the tacos do not include consomme, and a side of it was about $2. I added some to my order so I could dunk my tacos. The prices are not bad, but apparently what you see on the menu might not be accurate pricing. There is a note on the register that says prices are being updated. Just be aware of that; I paid about $21 or so for my meal, drink, and consomme together. Food arrived hot and fresh. The tacos are made with 2 corn tortillas so they don't fall apart so easily. They are also generously packed with the most succulent and delicious birria! The cup of consomme was far more than I needed for this; I wasn't sure how large it would be, but it seems to be at least a cup of liquid. I would love a "small" side option for just a little sauce cup, maybe 2-4oz, for a meal like this. Everything tasted delicious! The beans were perfect, too. My meal came with little sides of cilantro, diced onion, lime wedges, a small container of salsa, and I think some type of marinated or pickled red onions. I'm not certain what they were as I didn't try them. I immediately raved to one of my coworkers about this place and he said he comes here and really likes it too! I can't wait to get back here when I'm working in the area again. read more

Located in the outskirts of Riverside almost Home Gardens. Birria is definitely yummy and tender! This place only serves Birria no other meats. They offer so many food options from tacos, tortas, birria fries etc... Opted for the sopes and wasn't 100% impressed. The salsa also wasn't the best it was a little too chunky and not spicy. If a green salsa was also offered the plates would be even more delicious! Service was great - both owner and son were running the business and checking up on customers. Location also offers alcohol and aguas frescas. read more

Awesome experience at this local Riverside spot! I had heard they had the best tacos in the area, so couldn't wait to try them out. I ordered 2 Tacos Dorados and a Small Consume, and it was the perfect amount of food for me. They really pack the birria in the tacos, so I ended up having some extra meat to throw into the consume! Amazing portions that tasted great. The tacos also came with side of onions, cilantro, limes, and pickled red onions. The service was fantastic too. The cashier who rang me up and handed me my food was SO nice in wishing me a happy new year. Can't wait to return and support this local business! read more

Honestly this place has the best quality Birrieria, I can't go to my usual spot to eat anymore because it doesn't taste as good as this restaurant, the meat was soft and rich with flavor. If I could, I'd definitely eat here weekly. Service was also quick, they made us feel welcomed while we waitedand ate there. The inside was clean with plenty of tables for the size of the place. read more

Really good birria tacos with consome. Will definitely be back. The staff was nice and welcoming. Plenty of seating.

They are not wrong when they said it's the best of each state. Service is warm and fast. The ambience is like a sport bar. The birria is to die for. It's generous, thick, flavorful, and gamey in all the right way. The quesa is great, soft taco also good, only the fried taco is hard so it took away the enjoyment a little bit. read more

Nice little hole in the wall in Corona. We have stopped here twice on the way to the mountains, and it has not disappointed. I'm not a huge fan of birria style Mexican food, but the food here is a cut above the rest. The meat is tender and well seasoned. I've tried both the tacos and the torta which are both recommended. The portions are very generous. The torta was much larger than your standard sized torta which was about $10. My son had the bean and cheese burritos which was also quite large. Needless to say, we had leftovers, enough for another meal. Salsa is good, and has quite the kick. read more

I was really exited to try this place because it has good reviews. The agua de Lina tastes spoiled and fermented the horchata is just horrible. Birria tacos were okay however not great. Birria ramen was also just ok. All the condiments seem old lemons are brown onions are spoiled. Really disappointed it's the overall experience. read more

Food was delicious ! Got a couple orders of queso birrias with rice and beans, birria was perfectly season. Chips were a fav super soft yet crunchy, the salsas weren't too spicy perfect for the dipping. Didn't get a chance to try out the agua frescas but did get a margarita with wine it was too strong just right actually. Will def be a regular customer (: read more

Birrieria Little Tijuana - Inside restaurant - Tacos Near Me - Riverside, California

The husband was off for Veterans Day and he had been wanting to try this place he seen on Instagram. We got here right before 12pm. Perfect timing, when we arrived a group of coworkers arrived just as we did. We got in line and ordered. The order came-out pretty quickly. I had a large consomé because I wanted to take it to go and two crunchy tacos (dorados). The tacos were well served. I like that they were not super greasy the meat was clean. The salsa that was provided was just spicy. It lacked a lot of flavor. So the taco and consomé really needed that star of the show to tie every thing together. Besides that everything was good. read more

Are these previous reviews about the birria ramen for real? I just ordered it, was so salty I couldn't keep eating it! I will say the beef wasn't dry and it would probably have been good without all the salt. Doubt that I'll go back, don't want to risk wasting my money again. read more

My fiancé and I stopped in during the grand opening over three years ago. The owner and cook were the nicest guys and really made us feel welcomed. The birria is delicious and the consome is so good we could have eaten it like soup! The portion of meat on everything was excellent, they certainly didn't skimp out on it. The inside is small but very clean. We keep coming back! We came back again today after seeing that it has been voted the best taco spot around (but we've known that for years already) to see how it's going and grab some tacos. It was packed and the line was out the door! Deservedly so! The food is still as good as it has always been! We hadn't tried the beens before, but we did this time and they were super flavorful, so I hope they always do them the same. I will say that the consome was lacking slightly this time, just needed an extra touch of salt to bring out all that flavor inside. They have beer and other drinks now, too! Be prepared to wait for your food because this spot is popping, but don't wait, go grab some deliciousness! read more

Yes, I saw this place on the news. I read all the reviews and came with an open mind. This little hole in the all wall is conveniently located between the 15 fwy and the 91 fwy. Looks like there's plenty of parking. I called ahead to pre order for a 30 minutes pick up. It was ready. The gentleman who answered the phone was the same man who rang me up. He was so nice. He was mopping the floor too! The place was not packed. There were plenty of seating. I wished I could eat here but I had to take out. I got 2 quessabirria tacos, 2 tacos Dorado and 2 taco suave plus a large consume. I have no idea what I was ordering. The total was $31! There was a sign that their prices increased. I will say that the tacos were filled with birria and were very filling. I only ate 2. I do wish they had given me more of the onions, cilantro, lime and red onions. The 2 tacos that I had were good. I enjoyed the consume. I'm not an expert. However, my co-worker is from Mexico. She said the taco and consume were very good. She gave a thumbs up so I would say that this place lived up to its hype! read more

A+ quesabirria tacos and consommé. So much flavor and well worth the mess. Their birria quesadillas were stuffed with meat but I didn't find it to be as satisfying as their quesabirria tacos. The onions and cilantro are a must for the tacos, but they come in tiny portions and I always end up needing more. One tip is to get the birria combo (birria, tortillas, rice, beans) and then add your own cheese and make quesabirria tacos at home! Then you can be as messy as you'd like and be able drink the consommé as if it was water without weird looks from strangers. read more

Nice and simple hole in the wall. The best you can find in this area. Clearly Yelpers have validated this. I've had birria in other cities and this is much different. First off, beef is the only meat they have. Some think birria is goat meat. This is not. The dorado is super simple. Packed with meat and they give you sides of fixings: cilantro, diced white onion, spicy pickled red onions, and can't forget the limes! The quesabirria was yummy. Also packed with lots of shredded beef. The only cheese they have is mozzarella. I wanted cotija on my dorado but was happy they hooked us up with shredded mozzarella. My favorite part of this meal was the consume (the beef stock soup). It doesn't come with the quesabirria like most places, but they offer small, medium, and large. Dip that quesabirria in the consume! Fantastic flavor. Completely satisfied. Nice people, great service. Place was clean and bathroom easily accessible. Lots of parking. Definitely recommend! read more

Birrieria Little Tijuana - Tacos and Birria Fries - Tacos Near Me - Riverside, California

Honestly, after seeing this place talked about a lot and being an advocate of trying every recommended mexican spot around, i gave it a shot and wasn't impressed as an IE local. Food (6/10) Expensive prices for what you get, and the birria meat was pretty dry especially in the tacos. Consume was good, but not enough to carry the meal. Can't really mess up simple ramen or cheesy fries so those got a tasty pass. Service (8/10) Guy at the front counter was super friendly and conversational, and was always at the front and quick when we needed something like extra napkins. Food came out reasonably paced having ordered for 5 people. Ambiance (6/10) Average IE local mexican restaurant look inside, smaller restaurant with limited seating seems like it would get packed fast. Clean tables and environment but nothing special when it comes to location, atmosphere or presentation. read more

Holy. Mother. Of. Quesabirria. Tacos. This place has ruined me for life, in the best possible way. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's become a regular spot for us. The birria is so insanely good, nothing else even comes close now. And the birria ramen? YUM. I think of it often...and fondly. Run, don't walk, to get here. The owner? Freaking awesome. Every single person I've met who works here is just as great. The food will change your life, but fair warning: it will also destroy your ability to enjoy birria anywhere else ever again. read more

First the BIRRIERIA, so tender and flavorful!!!! These guys know what they're doing and two tacos are enough for most people. The birrieria and consume is something you will be craving the moment you leave. Although one suggestion is cheese, there is an expression "everything is better with cheese" my birrieria tacos did not have cheese on them and must be ordered with cheese, the quesobirrieria, my mistake. The chips are not hot and the salsa is a little on the watery side. Although I did not try the margaritas they look amazing. The location is the only bad thing about this place because it's located in a strip mall in the middle of nowhere. The place has an A rating on the door and I can see why, clean and relaxing atmosphere with plenty of seating. The customer service is top notch, employees are worthy of a place like the Ritz Carlton. Overall if you want the best BIRRIERIA in the area this IS the place. read more
