I finally made it to Birrieria Tijuana and WOW... I'm honestly mad I didn't come sooner. The birria caldo was absolutely amazing - rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with a homemade taste that you just can't fake. You can tell it's made with love and tradition. The meat was tender, juicy, and soaked up all that deep, savory broth in the best way possible. On top of that, the customer service was super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It really felt like one of those hidden gems where the food AND the people both stand out. If you're anywhere near Burien and craving birria. don't think twice. This place is it I can't wait to try more items on their extensive menu! They also have a dessert place adjacent. read more

Came here for dinner to try their birria tacos with cheese and without as well as their consome. I also ordered their chips and beans. The chips were fried fresh and were so hot, I had to wait to eat it. They were crunchy and perfectly fried. The bean dip was delicious and smooth sprinkled with cotija cheese. The tacos were delicious and crunchy and had a good amount of meat and cheese in it. The consome was okay. It was flavorful, but needed more salt. It was a great way to eat the tacos though! The service was great! Took my order right away and answered questions I had. She then brought out the food for me. read more

NO NO NO I should have trusted my instinct...however hole in the wall places tend to be good and the reviews were good. No. The food was terrible and cold. The carne asada tacos tasted like hamburger meat that soaked in dirty dish water. It was foul and neither of us could stomach a bite. The quesabirria was not good. The portions were huge, which should have been my sign because good Mexican tacos are typically on small corn tortillas. The quesabirria was enough for two but absolutely not good. The meat was tough and not well seasoned and left the most foul aftertaste. My friend vomited the second we left. The consome did not come with the birria. Never got birria tacos without consome and it was $5 to add. Bad location, bad food, and the lady at the counter was rude. Seemed annoyed two white girls walked in a ruined her TikTok scrolling. Will not return. The rice and beans were actually amazing - side note. read more

The food was fine and service was nice, place was clean and had a good environment. There was nothing wrong with the meal but was not a fan of the tortillas or the shredded chicken. There was also nothing to write home about. I didn't give the birria a try which is maybe where they shine. The rice and beans weren't bad but nothing amazing. Overall just a mid experience. Lots of options though which is nice. read more

Came here to satisfy a birria craving and got the quesabirria plate and side of consome to go. I was pleased that the consome was not as fatty/oily as I've had at other places, yet still very flavorful and comforting. The meal came with rice, beans, grilled onion and jalapeño. I also received 1 green and 1 red salsa, and a bag of diced fresh onion, cilantro, and limes. The quesadilla was huge and truly stuffed with cheese and meat, and so delicious! The only downside was I found a small metal shard in my beans - like a shaving from a can. This tells me that the beans come from a can and are not freshly made, and they're not careful with food prep. I'm so thankful that I didn't get cut by it or swallow it. I would still come back for another meal, despite the slightly scary oversight I experienced. I need to try the mangoneada next time! read more

The food is amazing. This is the best Mexican food. I've tried in Burien area. It is super good and they give it to you fast and they're always so nice and attentive. Everything seems clean and the place is calm and not full where it can be overstimulating. I always come here when I am craving Mexican food. Their Mulitas are excellent. Definitely recommend 10 out of 10. I have to try other stuff though because it taste so good. read more

Birrieria Tijuana - Tacos and agua Fresca - Mexican Near Me - Burien, Washington

Top tier birria tacos! This place is pretty large with lots of porky decorations and fun party Mexican music. We ordered 2 soft tacos, 2 cheese tacos, and a side of consome. There's a little bar at the side of the restaurant where you can self serve all the dressings that you may want. The cheese tacos were amazing 10/10. Super stuffed with cheese and birria, then dipped in their super flavor consome is fireeee. I do wish their consome had a liiiiittle bit of spice but it was still so good. The consome is also pretty loaded with meat, so it's very worth it. Service was pretty standard, you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Overall, really good, would definitely come again to satisfy my never ending birria craving read more

You want the best birria tacos in Seattle? Come to Birria Tijuana! I probably eat Mexican food 3x a week and this is by far my favorite tacos in the area. The birria is juicy and flavorful and the tacos with cheese are simply the best! If you get the birria tacos order the side of consome which is a delicious broth to dip your cheesy birria tacos in. The building has a lot of seating if you want to dine in and the salsa bar is on point. I usually order online and pickup to go it's quick and convenient. This place is a must check out! 5 stars!!! read more

Gonna be honest anybody who gives this place any less than 5 stars probably shouldn't be allowed to have a yelp account.

L-O-V-E the Birrieria Tijuana! A must do, from what I hear this is the go to place that everyone goes to and I am the last to know. But a colleague brought me here and I will do my best to be their biggest fan. We ordered the pizza along with a couple of "street tacos". The tacos are enormous and a stuffed to the gills with meet. So much that we could not touch the pizza. They have a great salsa bar with fresh cilantro and onions. Hot sauce and pickled veges . Great place to get your grub on, there are a lot of Pigs floating around the restaurant which is for their side business of carnitas. I became hooked on Quesabirria tacos and pizza. Come down for the fun! read more

Birrieria Tijuana - Birria Res - Mexican Near Me - Burien, Washington

Overall - I want to enjoy the food at this restaurant. However, they continue to fall short in many ways. Particular the quality of the food. The tortillas that are non-street style are dry and stiff. Making it challenging to enjoy when ordering a plate of food. The other issue is the portion sizes. I ordered a carnitas plate which included sub par rice and beans and dry carnitas. Their aguas frescas are probably the best option in the menu and overall priced around the same in the Seattle area. The street style tacos are unfortunately not great. Particularly their tripas tacos. It seemed like the meat was old since it was extremely dry and chewy. The restaurant also has a poor/lower food quality rating from King County which aligns with overall appearance of the kitchen and up keep of the condiment area. Recently - I ordered a queso birria de queso order. Only to find that the order was truly only a quesadilla, which is misleading. Especially since it's next to the order of the "actual" queso birria with rice and beans plate. The customer service recovery was unfortunately disappointing. I'm hoping to try this restaurant at some point in the future. But unfortunately will not be going anytime soon, and will enjoy other community Mexican restaurants in the Burien and white center area. read more

I remember seeing a Birrieria Tijuana van drive by on my way to Burien and knew that I had to go (plus Yelpers were raving about this place on social media). I was first introduced to birria by my coworkers who described it as the tasty, cheap meat that Latinos used to eat during recessions. Traditionally birria was made from goat or deer, but several American Birrierias also serve beef birria (like this place). I tried birria from the Mexican chain, El Riconsito, before, but it was extremely fatty and honestly a huge disappointment. I was hoping that by going to an actual birriera, the birria would be more authentic- and boy, was this place twenty times better than El Riconsito. My boyfriend and I came here on a weekend evening at around 8pm for a late dinner. Birrieria Tijuana is built into a neighborhood Mexican market, but the restaurant is accessible through a side door as well. The restaurant has a fair amount of seating with several booths and tables. It definitely has a fast food feel with the white tile floors and very casual atmosphere. This place serves birria in all forms including on top of fries, inside a quesadilla, in a burrito, in a torta, on its own, in consume (dipping soup) and even in an instant ramen cup. Instagram videos also show birria "pizza" for $22 which is HUGE and definitely an interesting fusion dish. After perusing the menu, my boyfriend and I both got Plato Birrias which came with meat, rice, taco shells, white retried beans, a jalapeño, sautéed onions, salsa verde, salsa rojo, red onions, cabbage, and lime (approx $16 per plate). The birria platos were gigantic and the portions were extremely generous- they gave us like a pound of meat which neither of us could finish in one sitting. The meat was tender and tasty- it reminded me of pot roast or beef brisket with a slightly tangy, savory, and spicy sauce. The frijoles (beans) were superior to your typical canned refried beans. I'be never had white refried beans before, but they were very good! The onions were sweet and perfectly complemented the meat. They also gave us at least four corn taco shells each which we topped with the meat, cabbage, onion, and salsa. Speaking of salsa, the verde was good, but the red salsa was the real winner- spicy, slightly smoky, and just a little tangy. I only wish that they gave us slightly more salsa, but we probably could've asked. Service was good and we got our food within 20 minutes. The floors and tables were super clean, but passable. Overall: 4.5/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere read more

Best food I've eaten in ages. The cheese tacos and consommé are going to the top of my Seattle food list.

Happened upon this place on the way to the airport and will totally be back! Yum! They nailed the birria in the tacos and I saw a review that suggested dipping it in the consume and they were right! That was good! It was spacious inside with a lot of pig statues. They made the food quickly and the staff was helpful. read more

Best Birria I've had in the Seattle area so far and a great deal for the money, even if it's a bit further south compared to other stops in Seattle. We had a Birria Burrito, Consome, and Birra meal for 38$ and portions wise, it beat other places for that price. The Birra Meat and Consome were also flavored great, they had a bacon-ish flavor which was unique but quite good. All-in-all, the best of the 4 places I've tried birra at so far. read more

i really enjoyed my experience here. the restaurant has a ton of seating and i love how eclectic their decor is! we came at 5pm and there was no wait and plenty of seating. the food came pretty quickly too. i got 2 cheese tacos and i really enjoyed them. they came with no vegetables but they have a sauce/vegetable bar which was super nice because i love putting a lot of vegetables in my food. i also love that they had radishes too. the tacos had a ton of cheese and the meat was delicious. we added consume which was $4 extra dollars. the consume was not as flavorful as other ones i've had. it didn't come with as much meat as i wanted it to, and there was no onion or cilantro in it either which would be my biggest complaint. read more

I've been wanting to try this place because it's on the way home from multiple locations. We did takeout. For some reason, this place has two names and can be found under either. After ordering, we followed the prompts telling us the food was ready. The food was not ready until about 25 minutes after the app sent messages saying it was. Here comes my main criticism, because overall the food here was fine. I walked in to retrieve our food and the dining area smelled like it hadn't been cleaned in months. I had to leave and wait outside. No restaurant should smell like this and it's a big red flag for me, especially in the COVUD era. We had multiple dishes, they were all acceptable. However there was a mass of brown garbage that smelled like rotting lettuce on one of the dishes we ordered. It was apparently supposed to be guacamole. It was brown, slimy, had no indication of actual avocado and was overall completely disgusting. There are several solid components on the plates, but then bad or spoiled ingredients were used as a topping and it made the food smell....off, lesser, I want to be kind and honest. There are a lot of Mexican options in the area. This one is middle of the pack in terms of food quality. The environment was not one I would choose to eat inside of because of the overall smell of layered filth. It's going to take a combination of factors before we do this again. I really don't understand all of the 4 and 5 star reviews here. Either people have lost their sense of smell from COVID? Get real. read more

OH MY GOD I COULD NOT STOP EATING and then when I could I looked forward to eating left overs. Everything was so flavorful and tender. We order a little of the bestsellers so see what the hype was all about Cheese tacos with Asada (did you know they also have pork, chicken and veggie options) it was so darn yum and the consume mmmmm my peeps dig into that consume it has tender bits of meat in there. And yes they are larger than typical tacos so 2 a person is good Vampiros with Asada, huge huge fan! So crispy and yummy and ugh could I just have some more please Asada fries ... yes Agua Fresca (cucumber) too sweet, add some lime and a lot of ice and it'll be awesome read more

I came here a year ago and recently visited again. I am happy to report that most menu items have NOT gone up in price (a miracle given inflation). The food was also as delicious as the first time I got it and the portions did not go down. They pack their food with a ton of meat and cheese. The first time I went I got a burrito and a cheese taco and more recently, my friend and I split the birria pizza. Out of those three items I've had, I would say they're basically the same thing in different forms, though that does not make it any less good. The birria pizza was $22 and could easily feed 3-4 people. Given the amount of meat and cheese, it was very filling and I found myself full after 1.5 slices. Also it had a great cheese pull! (See pic for evidence). I will say, it was quite greasy. As I was eating I thought to myself that if I was a big exercise/health person, I would definitely categorize this as a "cheat meal". It was quite a heavy meal, and made me feel like I was getting old because I definitely would've been able to eat more of this a few years back but now it will be more of a treat. Good news is leftovers reheat very well on the stove top. The horchata and cucumber agua Fresca were also delicious and helped wash the meal down. Highly recommend to order with your meal. read more

This is absolutely the best place to get tacos anywhere near Seattle. The line that you'll have to wait in will prove to be worth it. These puppies are stacked with so much meat and cheese that you will not want to put them down until you need to take a break due to a stomach ache. The creativity here is what I appreciate the most. They take birria and use it in any way possible. Tacos, quesadillas, ramen, anything you can imagine. Next thing you know they'll have a birria cake. Although why even dare to do such a thing when the churro sundae is a true delicacy? I don't recommend spending $50 here and eating it all before a 5 hour flight like I did, but I do think that you need to make the trip out there. It's a fantastic place to eat as much as possible and not feel an ounce of guilt, because everyone else is doing the same. read more

Birrieria Tijuana - CARNE ASADA FRIES?! - Mexican Near Me - Burien, Washington

Worth the hype! My go to order is 2 cheese tacos and a side of consome. I usually get 3-4 street tacos at other restaurants but these are full sized and with the melted cheese... super filling. I've tried without the cheese but it's just not the same. Each order of tacos comes with onions and peppers. They also have a red and green salsa which are both tasty. The location is right next to a market so there's shared parking. They can get pretty busy but you can place an online order for pickup so you don't have to wait. Overall, a must if you're craving a hearty meal. read more

Birrieria Tijuana - Cheese Taco - Mexican Near Me - Burien, Washington

Oh HELL yeah. I've been wanting to stop by Birrieria Tijuana for a long time but never found myself in the area. After dropping off a friend at the airport, I decided it was time! I'm from Southern California so I am always looking for legitimate and authentic Mexican food and this place is it. LOCATION & PARKING // This is in Burien and in a huge strip mall right next to a store. There is an abundance of parking here so that will never be an issue. The store itself is of a decent size and has multiple tables inside and outside as well. All the tables inside are spread apart. FOOD // Between two of us, we ordered 4 CHEESE TACOS (2 each), 1 CONSOME, 1 ASADA FRIES, 2 AGUA FRESCAS (horchata & melon/cantaloupe). I did my Yelp research beforehand and knew that this would be too much food but I did it anyway because I'm never in the area and happy to have leftovers. From what I've read, 1-2 cheese tacos with consome is plenty and that's true. I just couldn't say no to the asada fries - could you?! CHEESE TACOS: Filled with cheese and birria in a crispy double shell. They were hefty bites and tasted amazing with the consome! I was worried they wouldn't be flavorful on their own but I was wrong. CONSOME: I had never tried consome before and heard that it was similar to Vietnamese pho broth. I can definitely see why people think that but consome is a bit saltier. You really only need one between 2-3 people though. ASADA FRIES: Amazing! I'm used to asada fries like this where the asada is cut up into super small pieces. The container was filled to the top of these delicious fries and we had the leftovers for dinner the next day. Still perfect. If you like asada fries, these will not disappoint. AGUA FRESCA: I only had a sip of the horchata but it was creamy and flavorful. My standout was the melon/cantaloupe though. It was sweet, refreshing, and truly memorable. I'm so happy that I got that one instead of a flavor you see regularly. SERVICE // I read that this spot can get busy, which is understandable. I stopped by on a Friday around 4:30pm and there was no one in line. There was a few tables occupied but that was it. Ordering was no big deal and the food came out within 10-15 minutes. I ate at the restaurant itself and cleaned up afterwards. By 5:00pm, it was quite busy and the line was forming so I'm lucky to have missed the busy time. OVERALL // 5 stars Fantastic spot and definitely worth the hype. I highly recommend! read more

Got two insanely meaty, cheesy mulitas for $5 each here! There was only one cook so there was a bit of a wait during lunch, maybe 10 minutes? My mulitas came with salsa, grilled onions and a jalapeno (very spicy)--everything is packed in to-go containers, even if you eat in. Anyway, two was overkill for me; I was already stuffed after eating one because they're truly packed with juicy birria and a ton of cheese. Delicious but super heavy! And their mulitas were larger than ones I've had in the past. All in all, a pretty great deal. This spot takes up one corner of Guadalupe Market but you can't access the market from the Birreria. There were about 7 or 8 tables and a decent amount of room to spread out. read more

Sad! I'm having to downgrade my review. I just ordered 5 tacos from here today and there was barely any meat or cheese in there. They were skinny sadly and not filling anymore compared to when I first started coming here a year ago. I'll be looking for a new birria taco place. read more
