Fantastic Find: Cocina de Ledezma After a hike, I was on the hunt for some great local Mexican food and found La Cocina de Ledezma--what a gem! The food was incredible and tasted fresh. I tried three different tacos and a Quesabirria, each packed with great flavor. Their birria was especially impressive--it's hard to find good birria! To top it off, there's a coffee cart across the lot with refreshing drinks. I had a Lotus energy drink, and my girl had a spritzer--both hit the spot after a long day outdoors. The service was as amazing as the food. The brother at the register was super friendly, sharing how they prepare everything with care, and his sister in the truck was incredibly sweet and courteous. The two girls at the coffee cart were also lovely and added to the welcoming atmosphere. Though I live far, I'll definitely be coming back. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for delicious food and great service. read more

Food was delicious and the service was excellent! We got a few birria tacos and the pamboza. All were delicious and filling. There are tables there to eat, but we took it home. Look for the flags directly after the rite aid. You go up a small hill and it's to the left. The person taking our order was so nice when taking our order. We asked more questions than most and he never seemed bothered. More happy to answer everything about the food. Mentioned it was a family business and they are there every Saturday and Sunday! We will definitely be back! read more

Six out of five stars. Soooooo delicious. The meat is very high quality and the flavors are rich. Highly recommend!

The food had a great taste but it just too much fat for me we ended up getting 2 birria bowls. For me I felt it was a bit expensive and the fat part was what I hated I did like the service and location especially if you're staying in the hotel. read more

Best birria tacos we've ever had! Very friendly and fast service. Fried in beef tallow, which kicks it over the top, and delicious salsa to go with it. read more

Patience is a virtue. Your patience for a perfectly melted queso birria taco is well worth the wait! This place can also get a bit popular which adds to the wait time. The birria here is amazing and their customer service is top notch friendly. Pack a chair and table, enjoy your meal in the parking lot during covid regulations exist. read more

Finally made it to Cocina de Ledezma Birria Food Truck. For my husband and I, this was our first time having Birria Tacos. The food was so tasty. You can't go wrong with a Quesa Birria Taco Combo. Hard not come back! our friends from Escondido told us about it. Funny thing is we are from Valley Center! Literally 5 minutes from our house. The owners are so kind and accommodating to our group. We hungout for awhile and they never told us to leave. You all near Valley Center, treat yourself to some amazing eats! read more

These are the best tacos you've ever had. Very casual, do your own thing setting but I'm telling you. BEST tacos ever. It's birria but let me tell you. It's down to an art here. Included is everything, onions cilantro and hot sauce. Best taco spot on earth read more

Great unsuspecting food truck. Only open on Saturdays and Sundays. They only serve Birria and have several options, all of them delicious. Highly recommended! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Everytime I visited I'd bring someone new to share it with and this truck quickly became our Sunday "Church". The owners are lovely and go over the menu with you if you don't know what things are and will even give you a sample if you're not sure about it. Delicious birria! Some weekends they switch it up with other street tacos and those are awesome too! Can't go wrong with good food, good music, and even nicer owners. Sergio and his family are quick to make you regulars and constantly check in on you to make sure you get the best birria experience. They also invite a coffee truck and dessert trucks so you can get a sweet treat after! Truly a Valley Center Staple read more

I got to say this spot delivers a Big Bang for your buck. If your looking for a new Birria joint this spot will make you not want to not travel across the boarder or to La. The food prices are fair and the quality and of the food along with the services makes you want to come back. I definitely went all out when I stop by, me and my group got the ramen, tacos, tacos with melted chesse, mulitas and a torta soaked in all those good juices!! It up the grade but if your in northern county area definitely need to give this spot a try! I suggest come early so that you don't fight the line and can get down and dirty with all this goodness!! read more

Not only did I enjoy the amazing mouth watering tacos but my one year old did as well. I can definitely tell the quality of the place by the freshness and taste. Highly recommend the Birria, regardless if it's a Taco, QuesaTaco, Rambirria, or just the Birria Plate. My only regret was not ordering more, and some To-Go.. will definitely add to my Must-Go-Back list when back in town... read more

Delicious birria tacos! The meat is juicy, tender, and a bomb of bursting flavor. Slightly crispy shell, juicy meat inside. Dip it in consome and drown in yumminess! Don't forget to lather on the hot sauce. If it wasn't 95 degrees, I would have tried the soup or ramen birrria... That's for next time. read more

We used to love getting food from here, unfortunately when they did food tricks at our house they lessened the portions and sauces! And she's blame it on personal issues To us that's unprofessional and we don't care Just be consistent!!! read more

Tucked away, open on the weekends, and completely worth a visit! This was one of those hidden gems that make you love the roads less travelled, and also where Yelp! helps direct a wary foodie to good eats. I will say, finding it was not as straight forward as it seemed - the address directed me basically to an auto repair shop, but upon Yelp! pictorial inspection, I knew I'd driven past it. It's located in the parking lot of a veterinarian office, and I'd advise looking for the red/yellow BIRRIA! signs to guide you in. Now, about that birria - it's touted to be a secret family recipe your Abuelita would be proud of, and they aren't lying. It was such a great blend of flavors, especially with the homemade salsa on top and the side of consumé to dip it in. So, tuck into some via a standard taco (crispy or soft - can't go wrong), or turn it up to 11 with an interesting concoction of potatoes, bun, toppings and a torta-meets-California-burrito-love-child they call the pambazo. Just...*drool* So, if you find yourself out for a weekend adventure, drop by and pay these guys a visit - well worth it! read more

A new hidden gem off Lizard Rocks Road in the rural 'lil town of Valley Center.... Family owned and operated they're slinging out some of the best Mexican food I've had in a while.... The staff (Ledesma Family) are all very nice and make you feel welcome... Every weekend they have a different menu, this weekend was Birria (Slow cooked meat) and man was it good...I had the Birria Taco, Birria Quesadilla, and Birria Mulita .....all excellent! You can pick for take away, or they have a nice little area set up with tables and awnings for eating there.... I will definitely go back here.... But plan accordingly, they're only open weekends right now, and they usually sell out in the afternoon..... Highly Recommend! A nice new addition to VC food choices.... read more

Hmmmmmm Birria. If you have not tried Birria, you better get a move on. This slow cooked shredded beef is both tender and flavorful and a great twist on the ever popular asada that you see throughout the area. I am glad to see birria becoming so popular. Cocina De Ledezma does birria great! As a new resident here in Valley Center this is a relief to be sure. No pretending, no gimmicks...just a great core menu centered around...the meat. The queso taco is my standing favorite, but I hear the birria ramen is no slouch either. Yes they are off a side street and only open on weekends, but damn they are worth it. Swing on by and have a taco, or four like me! read more

Delicious food! I ordered a pambazo and it was amazing. Super delicious. I definitely recommend it. My sister ordered a rambirria and she also love it. We had a great experience overall. They were all super nice and friendly. We were planning on going back couldn't. However, I'm planning to eat here everytime I go back to SD. Thank you for your service and thank you for the food. It was amazing. read more

Great food! Great service! It was a nice place to relax and have lunch. The Birria was so good. My husband loved the cabeza tacos. Highly recommend coming here every weekend. Icing on the cake is you great food and support a wonderful family. read more

I was a bit skeptical about this place, especially given that the prices are a bit higher than most birrerias (I.e. over $4 for one taco). Pleasantly surprised with the location, customer service, and amazing food! Yes, a little pricy, but definitely worth it. Cool spot for a spontaneous date. read more

Well let me tell you about Cocina de Ledezma first off friendly service all the time. The Ledezma familia is always at the top of their game. I am a local here in Valley Center and don't have many options for food but let me tell you I look forward to the weekends when this place opens and having it less than five minutes away is the awesome! Having authentic Birria on the weekends is the best especially when I know family will be in town we head over there so they can try their food and each time they do not disappoint. I've tried their gorditas, Jumbo shrimp plate and birria. For me the birria quesadilla with Consomé is my favorite. They actually had during the weekday a surprise "Aguachile en Verde o Rojo" afternoon this week and man that hit the spot. Best thing is to follow them on Instagram and that way you know of any special days they might be offering their food. Anyways come out and try this great cuisine from the state of Queretaro and enjoy the trip to North County San Diego. I am actually heading their in a bit, can't wait for it to open!! Enjoy! read more

$15 for a quesadilla? poorly executed attitude with 15 minute wait after I called in phone order 20 minutes before I arrived. Ehh, no thanks! I'll purchase an overpriced quesadilla elsewhere. read more

This Birria truck is LEGIT! I tried a birria bowl because on my first visit I like to judge restaurants or food spots of any kind by eating the food the way its intended. The bowl was AMAZING, full of flavor and authentic to taste. The order comes with tortillas and cilantro, chopped onion and radish. The chile was good as well. Im excited to try The Ramen Birria next time!! They also have nice tables setup with covered seating to keep you out of the sun. Really good job the staff was all friendly and professional. read more
