    Birria Chilaquiles Rojos
    Antonette H.

    It's such a homey place, which is always a nice feeling. Very welcoming and sweet. I love all the vibrant colors and the food is freaking amazing!!! I got the Birria Chilaquiles Rojos, no joke best chilaquiles I've had in the area, very flavorful. I would definitely go back and recommend Gracias por el buen servicio y deliciosa comida

    Clean and friendly service in a simple building. We took out.

    We were in the mood for authentic Mexican food after gambling at Valley View.This tortilleria is a hidden gem in Escondid, on Second Street off Center City Parkway.

    este restaurante mexicano fue grandioso Desde el momento en que llegamos, el servicio fue excelente. Gina nos atendió de manera increíble, siempre muy amable, atenta y con una gran actitud. La comida estuvo exquisita, llena de sabor y perfectamente preparada. Cada platillo superó nuestras expectativas. Definitivamente es un lugar al que volvería sin dudarlo. ¡Gracias a Gina y a todo el equipo por una experiencia tan agradable!

    Really solid, authentic Mexican food. The menudo is rich and comforting with great flavor, and the pozole is fresh, hearty, and super satisfying. The adobada tacos are the highlight juicy,l meat on soft handmade tortillas that make a big difference. I'll come back again

    Just had lunch here after a day at the San Diego safari park. Highly recommend this place as it's a gem. As a family of four, our chosen entrees were the steak burrito, carnitas tacos, carne asada tacos and the quesa birria con consume. As an appetizer we chose to try all three flavors of tamales and chips and salsa. And of course, Mexican cokes to drink. Check them out when you are in Escondido!

    I was craving chilaquiles and heard this place has good ones - they ABSOLUTELY ARE DELICIOUS! Highly recommend the green sauce. Added an egg as well. My husband got their chorizo and potato burrito. Very tasty! The service is tremendously friendly and fast. The owner made sure to come by and ensure that we were enjoying the food. The place has plenty of tables inside and is wonderfully clean. We also grabbed some tortillas to go as well and they were just as tasty. This will be my go-to for chilaquiles from here on out! Plenty of parking in front!

    This place is soo delicious! Best chilaquiles ever this is the most authentic Mexican food it can get and even better the tortillas are made here.

    Best chilaquiles ever. Ordered with red and green sauce plus carne asada. Fantastic! Birriaramen was also excellent. Added a couple of drops of the spicy sauce. It didn't need it , the broth was a flavor bomb, but wanted to try it. If I have a miniscule complaint it would be that the meat was a tiny tiny bit dry. As if that was not enough delicious the lemon cucumber beverage was so perfect with this meal. Service was great, everyone was lovely. Can't wait to return.

    Located in Escondido near downtown. I finally got to try it. Get the tamales and the tacos! Can't wait to come back and try everything. I ordered pozole (it's red here), 2 adobada tacos and 2 chicken tamales. The pozole was good, and the portion is for 2 persons. watch out for bones. My only gripe is it comes with radish, limes and shredded cabbage and no onions. The tamales are amazing, super moist but on the small size for $3.50. I will buy tamales again because of the high quality. The tacos can be bought with generic tortilla for $3 or handmade tortilla for $5. It was good, but a lot of carbs. Wait, the adobada is one of the best I have had in San Diego, consistent with other reviews. The chili oil for the pozole was about level 7 spicy and builds. Spicy for throat and not too bad for tongue.

    Fixings for the birria ramen
    Barbara A.

    I was looking for real authentic Mexican food place while we were out in Escondido for a softball tournament, and found this gem. I was looking for that Mexican meal to hit the spot; flavorful, home-made and spicy. Well, Reyna's did NOT disappoint. The food was exactly what Mexican food should be! We ordered birria ramen, pozole and chile verde chilaquiles with egg and asada. The chile de árbol oil was just the right amount of spice to complete each dish. Oh, and don't forget to order a bottled coke! This is a type of establishment where you order and pay first, then you're seated. It's a Tortilleria with an eating/restaurant area. The facility is very clean and the service is excellent. Very friendly and attentive staff. This was our first time here and we will definitely be returning.

I honestly haven't tried too much on their menu because I can't finish their generously portioned entrees after a cup of the poblano. I usually go for one of their salads, the Asian chicken or the spinach salad. Or I'll get a la carte street tacos, the chicken or pork. I like the salsas that come with their complimentary chips. To this day I can't decide between them. The salsa verde has more of a kick but not too much heat. The salsa rojo is milder and thicker with nice flavor. Lots of retirees in the area coming to dine. It can get busy, especially Thursday and Friday lunchtime, and then you have to be patient for your food.

The menu was varied and the food was really good. The Thai chicken burrito was large and very tasty. My husband had a combination plate and said it was the best enchilada he's ever had! Complimentary chips-n-salsa was provided with not one, but two different salsas! The service was slightly slow, but friendly. The menus were a little sticky and there was food splashed on the wall at the table and a used napkin under one table. They seem to have a loyal local following of regulars, particularly an older crowd. We drove 15 miles to exclusively visit this restaurant as it had been on our list for a while. We would return if we were in the area. If their service was a little quicker and the cleaning was a little more sparkling, they'd get the extra star. (April 2026). Helpful?

As someone who is lactose intolerant, that's something I have to be careful about. I called the restaurant, and the employee I spoke with said they would remake it for me the next time I came in. When I returned on Monday, Alexis helped me. It turned out my name hadn't been taken when I originally called, so there wasn't a way to verify the order. Even so, Alexis listened to my situation, trusted my word, and honored the remake. She handled everything professionally and made the situation right. Mistakes happen, but great customer service is how they're resolved. Thank you, Alexis, for taking care of it and making things right.

I'm not sure what changed in the kitchen but I pretty bummed on the last 5 times I've gone. I get the California every time I go and add guac for reference, I'm a simple guy. Under-seasoned meat or not enough meat, soggy or dry/stale fries, light on guacamole when added sometimes, missing cheese. The consistency has been really off unfortunately for a pretty simple burrito. My last time I went I ordered the usual California burrito no sour cream add guac, got the burrito and it had sour cream and guac.... But no meat???? It was a big tortilla with sour cream and guacamole only in it lol. I laughed at the mix up and the customer service was great getting a refund (didn't request it they just gave it to me) and replacement burrito. Still decided it was my last time going there after that as even the replacement tasted like the meat had no seasoning on it. Writing this review to hope they turn things around some time in the future, I miss coming here but can't justify spending that much $ for a burrito I'm worried to be bummed about....again.

    I'm giving this place 3 stars for now because my first experience was genuinely great, but my…read moresecond visit was disappointing enough that I almost rated it 2 stars. The first time I visited a few weeks ago, I had a really positive experience. The location was a little hard for me to find, but once I got there, it seemed worth it. I walked in craving a breakfast burrito and was helped by a very nice, slender gentleman at the counter. I asked for a ham, bacon, and sausage breakfast burrito and also requested that it be cut in half. He was friendly, said no problem, and within minutes I had exactly what I ordered. That burrito was delicious. The salsa station was stocked and convenient with self-serve cups readily available, and the atmosphere was nice. The people around me were friendly, and one gentleman even mentioned this was the place that used to be near Peterson's Donuts. Overall, it was a great first impression and I left happy, already planning to come back. Fast forward to today, Saturday, April 25, 2026 around 10:30 AM, and unfortunately, my second experience was the complete opposite. This time there was a young woman working the register, and from the moment I approached, she didn't seem very welcoming. I told her I wanted to order a breakfast burrito but wasn't sure what kind I wanted today. She told me the only options were bacon, egg, cheese and tater tots, or egg and cheese. I politely asked if I could add ham and sausage and pay extra, since that's what I had ordered before. She immediately responded that they "didn't have that type of breakfast burrito." That response confused me because I had literally ordered one there before. I wasn't going to argue, especially because her tone and attitude made me feel like I was bothering her just by asking questions. I then asked if the burrito could be cut in half and never really got a clear response. I also noticed the salsa station no longer had the little self-serve cups available, so I had to ask for those too. The same cashier asked how many I needed, and I said two. A few minutes later, another woman called my name and handed me the burrito. I sat down and realized it wasn't cut in half like I requested. At that point, I had to go back up and ask for a plastic knife and fork just to cut it myself. Which was not a problem or issue for me. I ate half of the burrito, but honestly, it wasn't nearly as good as the first one. The taste was underwhelming, and by the time I left I was just so disappointed. I ended up throwing the other half away after I left. Consistency matters, especially when the first experience set the bar high. The food was great the first time, but the service and quality were lacking the second time around. My honest opinion: if someone is having a bad day, they probably shouldn't be the first face customers interact with at the register. I may update this review depending on how management responds, because I know this place can do better based on my first visit.

The area was clean and the server was nice and friendly.

    I've been to Mi Guadalajara in Escondido a handful of times now, and my wife and I keep coming back…read morebecause, overall, it's a solid spot for Mexican food in North County San Diego. It's got that classic, welcoming family-owned vibe that's been around since the '80s, and we always leave feeling satisfied--even if it's not always perfect. The interior is pretty cool and distinctive. Think big, spacious dining areas with vibrant traditional Mexican decor: colorful murals on the walls (some really elaborate ones that give it almost a resort-like feel), solid wood furniture, chandeliers, and that open, multi-level layout that makes it feel grand without being stuffy. It's large enough that even on busier nights, you rarely have to wait long for a table, which is a huge plus. Service is one of the consistent highlights here. The staff is friendly, quick, and chatty in the best way--they remember little things, keep the chips and salsa flowing, and make you feel like regulars even if it's just your third or fourth visit. No complaints there; it's fast, accurate, and genuinely warm. Now, the food: it's always fresh, which I really appreciate--no skimping on ingredients or anything that tastes like it's been sitting around. Portions are generous, and when it's on point, it's really good. We've had some great meals here that make us think, "Yep, this is why we come back." But I'll be honest--there's some inconsistency from visit to visit. The flavors don't always match what I remember from previous times. Sometimes the seasoning is spot-on and bold; other times, it's dialed way back. Our most recent dinner was a perfect example of that. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, hoping for that rich, comforting flavor, but they came out pretty mild--almost under-seasoned, lacking that punch I was craving. The rice on the side was a bit tough and dry, like it had overcooked or sat too long, which made it harder to enjoy. It wasn't terrible by any means (nothing was inedible, and the rest of the plate was fine), but it just didn't hit the high notes we've gotten before. It's frustrating because we've had better enchiladas and fluffier rice here on other trips. That said, the inconsistency hasn't been bad enough to turn us off. The highs are high enough, the atmosphere is enjoyable, the service is great, and it's a reliable option when we're in the mood for Mexican without venturing too far. My wife and I still enjoy it and will definitely be back--we're hoping the next visit brings back that memorable flavor we love. If you're in the Escondido area and want a big, festive Mexican spot with friendly people and usually tasty food, give Mi Guadalajara a try. It's worth checking out!

    Gave this place a second try during happy hour and didn't change my mind…read more Service was decent. We were at the bar area this time. Again liked the decor, they need to curate it down a little. Music and better lighting would elevate it so much. We got two different menus and got confused but apparently one was the old menu. Drinks... 6/10. My mangoneada needed more mango and tajin, it needed more flavor. My friends thought their drinks were also just ok as well. One had to ask for more hot sauce for her michelada, they only had tapatío. She said it was bland. Foods also just ok. The birria tacos were the best part, def would order again. Tortilla didn't split, good portion and the consomé was good. Cheese dip tasted like velveta. Nachos with beef were decent. Fried ice cream was not good. I've had this dish many times and it was stale and didn't taste fried. Idk if the cereal was stale or the ice cream was so frozen but it was not good. The salsa that comes with the chips is more of a tomato based and we weren't offered other salsas. We asked and got two others but the flavor was just not there. Paid about 60 bucks with tip for two happy hour items, a mangonada and dessert. Again, if the flavors were there, it would be worth and I would be back. It's such a unique space, easy to get to, plenty of parking, beautiful art in the center portion, they are so close to getting it right.
