    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.

    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.

    Some good chow here

    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.

    Oh man, this place is literally in our neighborhood and I crave it weekly. Birria everything is so flavorful! Stop in for some delicious and authentic Mexican food

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Birria Ramen is my daughter's favorite item on menu'

    Love this place! Always greeted with a smile! Food quality is amazing and delicious! Been going here for past 3 years and never disappointed. Employees are amazing and take care of their patrons. Checked on multiple times and saw them cleaning both tables and restrooms even when busy. This is a must visit place!

    Birria Nachos
    Jenesis S.

    I've never felt sooo happy eating my food .... The service was quick and great ambiance as well. I was really contemplating the coke on the side. HANDS DOWN BEST BIRRIA NACHOS I've ever tried. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that it doesn't have beans & that they use actual nacho cheese !!!!!! It makes me so so sad, I won't live in the area to be able to go back when I took the picture. I had devoured it already I was going through a rough day and this gave me dopamine and made my evening ....

    Pepino Limon Agua Fresca! So refreshing!
    Devin B.

    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.

    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.

    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!

Son varias veces que tienen modo muy serio, que hasta dejamos de ir por mucho tiempo por qué el servicio está muy mal pero nos gusta la comida. Hoy regresamos, nos toco un muchacho nuevo - no hay problema hasta que Le tuve que repetir la orden, 4 - 5 veces, muy muy cerca cara a cara y hasta lo escribió en un papel. Nos dio todo muy mal, carne y tortilla equivocada, y ósea - le estamos hablando en español ! Hoy me di cuenta, puede ser que los cocineros están tomando mientras trabajan y por eso tienen esa cara de molestos, y luego esto que pasó con este muchacho fue muy muy extraño, como si estaba su mente en otro mundo! Alot of the times, the older male cooks and the young cashier women have really really bad attitude. I'm talking straight, annoyed faces like we are bothering them by even just being there. I've only had one older lady greet us nicely with a smile & nice words whereas in my job, you treat every single customer that walks thru the door - with a smile and a welcome... it's truly not that hard ! One time I actually had to tell one of the young ladies how rude she was being by being right by my face, as I'm trying to get onion/ cilantro - she's behind me closing the blinds - I wouldn't mind but she never said excuse me, and was literally her mouth to my ear. She apologized after I told her how rude she was being. Today, we had a new gentlemen take our order which is fine. The problem began when I had to repeat the order about 5 times, whilst he's looking at me like I'm speaking a different language when we both speak Spanish. He eventually got it & wrote it down, I saw him write it correctly but then proceeded to give us the order completely wrong - from wrong meats, to wrong tortilla choice and at this point - we had been standing there for about over 10 minutes, the amount of people who passed by us because they received their food correctly and were able to pay right away was honestly upsetting. I wouldn't mind, but I genuinely believe these cooks are most likely drinking in the back. It explains why they have terrible attitudes all the time, and now they can't even get orders right when speaking the same language as them - can only imagine the mistakes that may happen with people who cannot speak Spanish ! I explained all of this to the cashier, I work in a kitchen as well & provide the best service, every single day. This place was doing alright just a few weeks back, then we realized it's because they had their higher up's showing up to the location ( we were there when they arrived ) they even brought a " star " cashier that doesn't even work at that location , they probably know the ones they have on the daily - don't cut it ! I'm genuinely wanting to contact higher up's showing because this place is becoming a joke. The food is good, the service is very very unsettling. We were lucky enough that the young lady in the front was actually concerned about our complaints. I'm not one to ever complain, but seriously they need to keep an eye on this location.

I ordered in advance and went to pick up my food, but since I was starving, I ended up just eating there on their patio. The tacos were okay. Personally, I thought they were pretty mid and not as flavorful as I was hoping they'd be. They did have a spicy sauce that I dipped the tacos in, and that definitely helped the flavor. I personally didn't love the tacos, but to be fair, I also didn't try anything else on the menu so I can't speak for the rest of their food. The place itself is a decent size, and the patio area is actually pretty nice. The staff was very kind, my order was ready right on time, and I appreciated that they weren't stingy with the sauces. Overall not a bad spot, but the quesabirria tacos just didn't fully hit for me. Oh well *shrug*

We walked in on a bustling Friday afternoon and were instantly hit with good energy. The decor is vibrant, fun, and modern--bright colors, beautiful mural-painted walls, and marbled blue floors that have a coastal vibe. The menu had a great variety of both land and sea options, ranging from birria tacos and shrimp cocktails to fresh ceviche. Here is what we down. I ordered one shrimp taco and one fish taco. Husband ordered the fish taco plate, with well-seasoned rice and beans. Our meal hit the SPOT. The fish and shrimp were freshly fried to order in a delicious, crispy batter that wasn't overpowering the seafood. Also, they feature a green salsa packed with chunks of onion and jalapeño, alongside a traditional creamy fish taco sauce. That fish taco sauce is FIRE. It packs a much bigger spicy punch than the watered-down sauces you usually get at most restaurants, and it was delicious! If you are in the area, this is a must-stop. We will 100% be back the next time we visit San Diego!
