Best birria in San José Amazing costillas doradoras The consume that comes on side was the BOMB!! Great service from this place every time I go read more

Well the food is great! But the service is poor. I was there on Sunday morning and I ordered a costilla, it was cold. This restaurant really disappointed me. I let my server know that it was cold but all they said was I can reheat it and take it to go. I didn't like that response as a server they need to satisfy their costumer and clearly the service was not met. I hope there is better costumer service and treat their costumers how it should be, Not only because we tip but because as a costumer we expect great service from this restaurant. read more

The seasoning is good but the meat had a very varied texture, too soft and other pieces very hard and dry, the infrastructure is not the best, the place is very neglected, but I repeat the seasoning is very good. read more

This has been the go to spot for Birria for years. I have been coming here since 2013 and it just hits everytime. They are consistent and the prices are reasonable even with inflation. I went today and paid $22 and some change for an order. I love the handmade tortillas. Parking is small but there is another plaza next door with plenty of parking! Plus, it's quick to get your food. It is usually only busy on the weekends! Give them a try. read more

San Jose staple, family owned. Delicious goat Birria. And they open early which is a plus.

I have been here since it first opened and u fortunately it's gone down hill. With all the competition they need to up their game in food quality and ambiance. The tortillas are still good and the servers friendly and prompt. But the arrachera and birria ( had a taco of each type of meat). Were dry. read more

The birria is delicious. The menudo is not hard enough to be chewing on it for a long time like other places. It had the perfect texture and softness to eat easily. read more

Good amount of food for the price and it actually gives you spicy sauce. I've been to places where the food isn't spicy enough but this place was good. The inside might look a bit jank but it's good quality read more

La Birrieria - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

This is a little hole in the wall in East San Jose. I've passed it a million times, and today I made it in. I ordered the Enchiladas California de Pollo. ( I don't do goat!). The sauce has a nice little kick and the beans were awesome! Good Mexican rice is hard to find, but their's was good. Definitely B+. So...just paid the bill....not sure how that plate & 2 beers cost $34! Listed price was $13 for plate & $6 per beer = $25 Since the place only had 2 other customers I felt bad complaining. I just will not come back. read more

The food was bland and lacked flavor. The quesa birria tacos did not have enough meat for these ridiculous prices. Honestly, I would have been better of just ordering a quesadilla. The price for just one mediocre and bland quesa birria taco is crazy. The consome is so watered down. At this point just give me a water bottle with food coloring. The agua frescas are true their name straight up water with a hint of flavor. Even Starbucks has more flavor. If there was an option to give ZERO stars that's what they should get.  The carnitas were burnt to crisp, I know I did not order charcoal with a side of greasy tortilla. The lemon (or the one drop of lemon that came out of the dry lemon) did not help at all!  This is a dishonor to Mexican food. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!  All this to say that the food was disgusting! read more

My go to spot win area you can't go wrong here is great serving the best plate always full and always excellent food

See some people complaining about this place, but all I can say is: this is the best place for barbacoa de chivo o de borrego!! Love the service and taste is amazing! Sure gets busy but that should tell you how great its this place! read more

La Birrieria - Quesadillas de birria (Chivo) - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

We ordered 2 birria platters to go and they came with NO CONSOMMÉ or tortillas like they were supposed to. I live in Oakland, so returning back to the restaurant wasn't an option at the time. Ruined our picnic so we called the restaurant and spoke with the lady and she apologized and was extremely friendly and she said that they would give a replacement birria platter next time we came in. We did come back two weeks later next time we were in San Jose and the owner refused to honor the offer and instead only gave a refund of a few measly dollars to cover for the consommé that was missing. Super rude and didn't offer to call the employee that made the offer or anything. read more

I'm not sure why everyone says the consome is bland here or that it needs more flavor. I thought it was perfect once adding some lemon, onions, and cilantro. Today, I ordered two quesabirrias. I had one goat and one beef. It was pretty good. I think they could have put more cheese and cooked it on the grill a tad longer to give it more of a crunchy texture. Having gone to Mexico about 15 times in the last few years, I will say that the food has an authentic flavor. I love that they show case the flavor of their meat and they didn't season it too much. One suggestion is that they should provide mexican lemons. They currently provide the yellow ones. If you want to have solid birria, I would recommend this place. It does look a bit sketchy, but the food is good! read more

The food was alright. Not the best. The salsa was spicy and really good. They charge an extra dollar if you ask for more which sucks because I got 2 burritos and they gave exactly 2 small cups of salsa. The $1 pays for 2 more. I would've rated this place more if the staff wasn't rude and if the food tasted better. I used to come here 15 years ago because my high school was down the street but, it's not the same. read more

I had bad service, bad prices and bad quality. They were food once upon a time was good... not anymore in my opinion.

For takeout. Their tacos were meat + flour tortillas with cilantro and onions on the side. Overall, a sad looking, bland and dry taco. -Birria Taco with Consome on the Side: 2/10. Consome (soup) was bland like the taco. -Lamb Rib Tacos: 1/10. Very dry. -Soft Tacos Carne Asada: 1/10 -Quesadilla: 1/10. For $8, this was so sad. Flour tortilla, thin layer of cheese, that's it. read more

Muy mal servicio al cliente. La persona que toma órdenes por teléfono no toma los órdenes correctamente y cuando uno les dice actúan arrogantes y se burla con los trabajadores. read more

The consomé was missing flavor and the food was ok. Salsa was good and quick service but this was a Friday in the middle of the day.

This is the place where my family has been coming to eat birria for years. I brought my boyfriend to try the birria. He asked for a beef birria and they brought out a plate of goat Birria and broth. The waiter didn't mentioned anything. After waiting for an hour the waiter finally brought our food. When my boyfriend mentioned it did not taste like beef at first I was skeptical but then I tried it and realized it wasn't beef but goat after questioning the waiter she said they mix the birria and chivo. How disgusting is it for them to know that someone is asking for goat and knowingly and willingly brought goat instead. They don't even know if he is allergic to goat. When I politely questioned them I was blamed however the waiter never said anything when we order. It seems like they assumed we wouldn't notice. How sad. I do like goat and I did pay for my food but now regret it because of how they assumed we wouldn't notice. If my boyfriend was allergic they would've had a big problem. It angers me that they know they're beef birria is not beef and yet they still try to sell it as if it is. Este es el lugar donde mi familia viene a comer birria desde hace años. Traje a mi novio para probar la birria. Pidió una birria de res y le trajeron un plato de Birria de chivo y caldo. El camarero no mencionó nada. Después de UNA HORA ESPERANDO NUESTRA COMIDA. Cuando mi novio mencionó que no sabía a carne al principio, me sentí escéptico, pero luego lo probé y me di cuenta de que no era carne sino de cabra, después de preguntarle al camarero, ella dijo que mezclaban birria y chivo. Qué repugnante es para ellos saber que alguien está pidiendo una cabra y, a sabiendas y voluntariamente, les ha traído una cabra. Ni siquiera saben si es alérgico a la cabra. Cuando los cuestioné cortésmente, me culparon, sin embargo, el camarero nunca dijo nada cuando hicimos el pedido. Parece que asumieron que no nos daríamos cuenta. Qué triste. Me gusta la cabra y pagué por mi comida, pero ahora me arrepiento porque asumieron que no nos daríamos cuenta. Si mi novio fuera alérgico habría tenido un gran problema. Me enoja que sepan que la birria de res no es carne y aún así intentan venderla como si lo fuera. read more

Not very nice place everyone looking at me crazy because I'm not Mexican ordering food I love Mexican food his was my first time here not happy and some guy yelling at me for no reason I'm a paying customer he tells me you don't have order from here and ask me am I a Uber driver why and my order is taking longer like 30 minutes long they was kind of not nice to me read more

Great birria also good service , but if you're going during the weekend be ready to wait

The service is great. But they aren't consistent with keeping their food fresh. One time i went they gave me spoiled horchata. I bought a burrito today and it smells like dirty towels and the horchata smells like the powdered horchata, the limes are super dry. They use left over food which goes bad but they still sell it to their customers. read more

Good place to eat very good service love this place food taste delicious I really recommend

I ordered 3 quesatacos to share with my mom. I recently got her into birria tacos too. This place has delicious tortillas and birria meat. However, the consome could use some more flavor. But I still enjoyed em. I would have like more cheese but no biggie. When I got here the place was completely empty. I found that's because a lot of people are calling in their orders in advanced. While I was waiting I saw some big orders going out, so this place seems popular. I'd come back read more

Very authentic and fresh. No need for extra seasonings. Very generous portions I always get birria con consome.

Stumbled in here with a terrible hangover thanks to the New Year celebration and I'm glad they were open on New Year's day! It is a hole in the wall restaurant. Don't be scurred...(does anybody still say that?) Ordered a bowl of birria and a michelada. I believe their tortillas are handmade on the spot. Best hangover food ever. I quickly felt better! They are an authentic Mexican restaurant, from the food to the decor, down to their jukebox. Plenty of parking! read more

Food is great here, I just don't like the service and be ready to wait even if you order togo!

the best birria in town no one else has that unique taste. This place reminds me of Mexico with fresh hand made tortillas definitely recommend read more

Great and authentic quality plus amazing customer service. I tried the Taco de Borrego and the Quesabirria. Both were delicious and fulfilling. Size is solid too, I'd say 2 tacos are enough for the average person. Customer service was good as they constantly checked-in on us and kindly brought more onion/cilantro as we requested. Love the aguas frescas on the large tarros too! read more

It's my family first time trying birrieria and it's not really for us. The pozole, which I had before at other restaurants, were much better. The place is small but clean. read more

Really good food and friendly service. They're horchata is on another level of good. It kinda tastes like chocolate

Incorrect order,missing things. First time and last time trying it out. Over it. Not coming back

Mejor birria que eh probado. El consomé está exquisito y lo recomiendo que lo prueben!

Bad service and not enough tortilla for a big group of 8. Plus I hate their Costumer service. The employees look sad like they don't want to be there working. They give you attitude if you ask for extra things read more
