    I've hate about 95% of the food trucks I encounter, why? 1 Overpriced 2 smaller portions 3 no free water 4 no restrooms 5 no where to sit 6 no air conditioning Jarocho's Birria is the exception, and they are exceptional! Taco Tuesday: $1.50 street tacos! Al Pastor, Chicken, carnitas, and Tripa are the choices, and the taco comes with a shockingly generous amount of meat for that small price. Flavors are all very Mexican, very flavorful, and very delicious. Soda cans are a very reasonable $1.50 each for Squirt or Coke. $5 Horchata is excellent, creamy and lovely zesty cinnamon sensations.

    Came for the $1.50 Taco Tuesday special! Prepare for a long wait! We showed up a half hour after they opened at 5pm and it took 1.5 hours before we got our food. They have a vast menu and a couple of specialty drinks such as horchata & mango agua fresca. They DO take card but there is a service fee. You can avoid that by paying cash. The food was good but as expected on a Taco Tuesday, the wait was very long. Very limited seating as well.

    Taco truck has birria labeled all over. And they ran out of birria how is this possible. Im so angry I didn't get my tacos.

    Tucked away in Mira Mesa, Jarochos Birria is a true hidden gem. Family-owned spot that wants to share the love of their food. Everything is made from scratch -- you can taste the freshness in every bite. The birria here is absolutely delicious -- rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, with that slow-cooked tenderness you only get from recipes passed down through generations. The servings are generous, so you'll leave satisfied (and maybe even with leftovers). The birria ramen is pure comfort in a cup, and their tortillas are soft and warm, fresh off the press. Can't forget their fish and shrimp taco that's fresh and packed with flavor as well. And here's a pro tip: don't miss their Taco Tuesday -- it's the perfect chance to indulge in their amazing tacos at a great value. If you're in the area, you have to try this place -- it's the perfect blend of authentic flavor, homemade love, and warm hospitality.

    This is an underrated food truck! Their quesabirria tacos are some of the most loaded ones I've had. Their quesabirria tacos birria is juicy and flavorful. They have a special where you get 4 quesabirria tacos and the consomé for $20. On Tuesdays they have $1.50 taco specials like Al pastor tacos. The staff is very kind. Pull up to the Best Buy parking lot in Mira Mesa!

    An actual hidden gem - found this truck behind Best Buy in the parking lot set up with lots of seating and canopies for shade! The Taco Tuesday deals are soo worth it at $1.50 per street taco (choice of al pastor, tripa, carnitas, and chicken) and generous with meat. But my fav are the crisp and juicy quesabirria tacos, which includes 4 tacos plus consome for $16.99. The cheesiness and flavor are bomb without being very salty! 4 birria tacos with consome is $13.99 but trust me, you want the gooey cheese. They even have a birria torta with fries that's a stuffed sandwich of the tender birria meat, which is super filling. The al pastor is glistening as it rotates on the spit with the pineapple and 100% my favorite of the street tacos. Pair it with a creamy cinnamony horchata to cool down on a hot day! The staff were super nice so I'll be back to support often. This is a great spot in Mira Mesa!!

    I drive by this taco truck frequently so I've been meaning to catch it sometime. I finally caught it one of these days and I tried their mini $1.50 tacos which actually ended up being pretty good. The truck itself is located behind the Best Buy in the parking lot and it's tucked away so it's a bit hard to see from the freeway. I think they take credit card but I'm not sure because I paid in cash. The people working there were super friendly and gave me recommendations and so I ended up just taking one of the recommendations.

    Best Birria period. Made to order fresh, so flavorful, amazing consommé, couldn't get any better! The truck is behind Best Buy in Mira Mesa every day except Mondays. Great service from a young man who takes your order at a table outside of the truck. He helps with questions (i.e. I asked him about Huarache). Service with a smile and courtesy to get everything ready whether you are taking out or dining in. First bite will blow your mind. Didn't know Birria could be at this level of deliciousness until discovering Jarocho's Birria! Prices are great and affordable. The Taco size is large with so much filling. Served hot (careful burning your mouth). Will definitely be a regular customer and try the Huarache, Birria Ramen, Breakfast selections, etc. This food truck just reignited my passion for Birria tacos!!!

    I absolutely love seeing food trucks in Mira Mesa! This Birria truck offers more than just Birria tacos; they have hamburgers, nachos, burritos, and more. I tried the queso Birria tacos, and they were fantastic! They were so hot that they even burnt my lip, but I don't mind because I expect my food to be hot and fresh. It's Taco Tuesday, so I tried their fish tacos for $2 each, which were good, although I wish they were crispier and hotter. They have a sauce bar with mild green sauce and not-too-spicy red sauce. The service was quick, and just a heads up, there's a $1 extra charge for using cards, so bring cash. Overall, a solid food truck experience.

    I wont elaborate too much but local trucks like this are what keep me in SoCal. Take yourself behind the Best Buy and try this place out. $20 for 4 large tacos will bring me back everyday.

    Good Taco Tuesday specials but the al pastor meat can be a bit chewy so I ask that they cook it to get more char on the meat. Tripas tacos are really good here. The queso birria tacos are solid and good serving size. Have to ask for the grilled onions and peppers.

    Birria taco and two fish tacos.

    My friend highly recommended this place so I decided to take a visit. I was extremely satisfied and impressed with the overall experience. Excellent customer service. Great special on fish tacos on Fridays for Catholics. 3 tacos at $8.99. As you can see the tacos are a decent size and packed. I couldn't help to try the birria for my 3rd. They were all fresh, flavorful and filling! A nice spot to grab some tacos and enjoy outdoor seating perfect for the warmer, longer days ahead!

    Small portions for the money but good food. Good customer service. Probably will not go back just not worth it.

    Got the Red Quesadilla and it was so good!!…read more Super large portion size, the birria was amazing and the quesadilla was packed with so much flavor. A solid 10/10, will order again. First time at this establisment and had a very pleasant experience. I really loved the vibe of the place. Casual, yet hip (the splashes of red color really pops!) Service was friendly and there is a salsa bar too with lots of options. Will definitely be back!

But I didn't realize that just about every dish was based on birria. But okay. I love a good, flavorful birria taco. I guess I just didn't order right. I grabbed the Mikes Meal Special, but I was really craving some nice crunchy, cheesy and Jalapeno-hot Nachos. So I thought I would try a half-order of Mike's Nachos. Man! They were horrible. The huge pile of shredded beef tasted okay, but the red gravy got all of the chips that it came into contact with really soggy and unpleasant to eat. Maybe it would have been better if I had eaten it in the restaurant, but it should not have degraded that quickly. And to claim to be Nachos? Why? What was Nacho about this messy, uninteresting dish? The only suggestion of cheese that I got was one stray pipe of yellow processed cheese that could have been mustard for all that I know. There were NO Jalapenos whatsoever. The guacamole was just one spoonful plopped down in the middle of the order. There was really nothing red hot about the food at all. So the sour cream just made it taste incredibly bland. My advice? Always go with as authentic to real Mexican food as you can find. If you really want "Gringo Sonora," I would heartily recommend Del Taco over this restaurant.

I particularly enjoy the Adobada tacos from Chula Tacos because they serve a very generous portion of meat, guacamole and are very tasty. The first time I tried them was at their H Street restaurant in Chula Vista, but that location is temporarily closed. I decided to try their Palm Avenue location since I was in the area visiting family. The service was friendly, and the tacos were prepared very quickly. The restaurant was clean. I'm looking forward to the H Street location reopening since it is much closer to where I live. Happy Yelping :)

It's no secret that San Diego has tacos in…read morespades and being so close to the border, you'd think that a quest to find the perfect taco would be as simple as rolling down to the nearest taqueria. Except, it's not quite that simple. Many beloved staples have gone downhill, while some newer spots that might boast things like a Michelin mention or multiple locations ranging from TJ to Vegas contain more hype and gristle than tender meat and substance. Enter Chula Tacos. Chula is, and always was, the type of place that makes you forget that you're not actually in Tijuana. While part of me misses their OG Market Street location, seeing them with brick-and-mortars feels hard-earned and well-deserved. This location on Palm in IB is relatively easy to access from the freeway, but parking can be tricky. You can safely assume that it will be busy and you will either have to be very lucky or be willing to find a spot on the street. Out of all the times I've been here, it's always been crowded enough that I've never been able to find a table inside, but I enjoy sitting out on the patio next to the ahumederos. The first thing that hits you walking through the door is how amazing everything smells. The queue to the cashier takes you near a window showing the kitchen where you can see the Chula Tacos team making fresh tortillas, slicing meat from the trompos, grilling up jalapenos, nopales, onions, labio, and tripa. For me, it's not so much a challenge to decide what I want, it's more a challenge to keep myself from ordering everything. My usual is four tacos: two asada, two al pastor (but I've heard that I should also try their world famous keka). The tacos though? Perfection. Every time, the asada is the juiciest and most tender I've ever eaten, the al pastor is succulent and flavorful, and no taco in front of me is long for the world. At $3.50 each, every one of them is absolutely loaded. Three would honestly fill me up, but I always want four. After getting burned by spots that ask around 75% more and deliver anywhere between 25-50% less, Chula Tacos feels like an absolute godsend of a Tijuana-style taqueria and I can't see any other contenders being my go-to. So, when I say "Tacos will fix me," what I mean nowadays is "Chula Tacos will fix me."
