Great food, inexpensive and pleasant people. I am disappointed that there are less than 30 reviews for this incredible food. The parking situation sucks but let me tell you, the Baja Fish tacos were fresh and fantastic! Not good, FANTASTIC. Big 6" tortillas, deep fried fish to perfection, packed with slaw and a dot of the home made salsas, these were in point! We got 2 plates with 2 big tacos each (2+2=4) and the total was $15.74. I purchased drinks at the liquor store next door and felt robbed (just trying to support). The even gave us free fish soup and it was amazing. We stood on the west side of the taco truck where there are nice clean tables. Even though I live an hour and a half away, I I will drive there again. Too few reviews really hurts this type of establishment. Please do me a favor, visit them and write a review. You won't be disappointed and I'm sure you will help someone else decide to give them a try.

Best birria place I've ever been to

Best birria spot I've ever been to . Customer service is really good as well . And they never make u wait long

After a long wait, my friends and I got our much needed tacos and I have to say I was not a big fan. My biggest issue was how much tortilla they gave you: two to be exact. I already don't like getting two tortillas because it fills me up so fast but they were also huge tortillas, not like the tiny taco stand tacos you're used to getting. The birria ones were alright in flavor, not super strong, and the fish tacos didn't have much flavor or crispness. I wasn't wanting more than a couple bites of each. I'd only come here if I really needed some late night food but even then it's not preferred.

Chicken quesadilla

Excellent chicken quesadilla and free cup of Birria! Highly recommend this food truck!

Best kept authentic Mexican food truck in San Diego. Sabor A Birria is parked next to a liquor store in South Park. Our son have been raving about this food truck ever since he moved down to South Park. I usually don't do food trucks but I'm so glad that we gave it a try. They make the best fish taco and burrito. The batter is light and crunchy but allows you to taste the meaty fish. Their white sauce and a variety of hot sauces are fresh and without question the best and tastiest. The portions and prices are great too. You will get your money worth here. The service and the way they package each item were great. Btw, they don't sell any drinks. I think this might due to a deal they made with the liquor store's owner.

The Truck

Sabor A Birria is a newer food truck to the San Diego area, and yes, they make some fantastic food. I had a garlic fish taco prepared on the griddle, a beef birria taco, and a quesa taco with birria as well. Where the fish taco and birria taco were very good, the quesa taco was terrific. The taco came with a lot of tender fish and in addition to the good seasoning, it offered a subtle garlic flavor. The shredded cabbage and veggies came with a tasty white sauce. Very good fish taco. Both the beef birria taco was great and adding the beef consommé made it even better. The beef is very well prepared, tender, and is very flavorful. The quesa taco certainly edges it out, especially if you are a cheese lover, because that griddled cheese at the bottom of the beef, red onions, and cilantro, and green onions is sure something else. The quesa taco is not only very tasty but a great bite, bite after bite. The food truck specializes in seafood and beef birria. The staff members are super friendly and welcoming. The truck parks at the California Liquor Store's parking lot as of 4/1/22. Great food truck.

Pico de gallo (aka shrimp ceviche)

Stop by for lunch on a Sunday. Honestly, I was looking forward to trying it but it wasn't even that good. We got shrimp ceviche and fish tacos. The shrimp ceviche was basically pico de gallo. You're better off going to Northgate for ceviche. The fish tacos were all breading. I don't know if I'd try any more of their dishes. Service was quick tho.

So juicy and so good!!!! "Best $6 I've ever spent" Only 3 people in the group ordered but we all had to try!

I made a mistake with my directions and landed right where I needed to be. Pulled up on Sabor A Birria man oh man first customer service a one I picked a taco and the young lady taking my order suggested a taco that was right up my alley. While waiting for my food she asked if I wanted sea food consume or birria couldn't make a choice got both and it was the perfect move for a cold day. I got the octopus and shrimp taco, birria breakfast burrito, and a birria vampiro tostada Man I got this home and they didn't miss with any of these. If I didn't love my wife I would have went in to a food coma but she was there to help me take this down the price point was right for me and I don't like spending crazy but when you deserve what you ask for I'm willing to pay it. This is my new jam so I'll see you there for great food.

Chicharrón de pargo

Sabor a Birria is the best in San Diego!!! Look no further Sabor a Birria y Más will satisfy your food cravings!!! I came with my familia, we had the quesa birria tacos, so delicious so flavorful!! I had the tostada de pescado the best!! Chicharrón de pargo (picture below) great taste plus the portions are super generous. Sabor a Birria has variety of salsas available and my favorite is the red salsa just the perfect amount of spice for my tostada. Sabor a Birria will offer you the consume (broth) de birria or mariscos the taste is superb!!! Costumer service is above and beyond so friendly and always have a smile & delicious recomendaciones. I highly recommend Sabor a Birria. You have to try them for yourself!! You will be in food heaven!! They are located in heart of South Park. They have stools for sitting and stand up bar area. Sabor a Birria feels like my abuelas kitchen authentically made food.

I met with a friend for a drink nearby and was strolling by on my way to my car. Being a foodie, I stopped by on impulse and picked up a seafood cocktail to take home. The tangy tomato sauce was spicy and there was a generous amount of seafood (shrimp, octopus, oysters, fish). It was excellent and refreshing on a hot summer day. I will stop by in the future to try other items on their menu.

Garlic shrimp taco /birria taco
Sophia G.

Great customer service cleanliness was on point great condiments the chipotle sauce is fire the taste is great the best I've ever had now, on the other hand I ordered a garlic shrimp taco but the garlic taste wasn't there and the shrimp hadn't been cleaned or divined, a course some people eat them like that but I'm not a fan. The birria lacked a lot of flavor and had lots of chili pod flakes i will Definitely return to this truck but I will consider ordering something else next time.

Taco El Gordo is hands down worth the hype. The line was…read moreover an hour long. While waiting, I overheard someone next to us say, "We only eat here, otherwise we go back to Mexico." That alone made me feel like the wait wasn't wasted. We tried a variety of tacos, and everything was solid. The spicy pork (which actually isn't that spicy) was super flavorful and easy to eat. I will highly recommend even if you don't handle spice well. The beef tongue was another standout, it is tender, rich, and really well done. Ordering can be a little confusing at first since you line up by meat and then pay separately, but once you figure it out, it's part of the experience. If you're in San Diego, this place is pretty much a must-try. I'd come back again just for these tacos.

Tacos El Gordo is an absolute beast of a business…read more Their team is producing thousands of tacos at lightening speed, all made on freshly crafted tortillas, featuring a variety of hand carved meats. How it works: you'll enter the business, grab a tray, go window to window collecting your choice of street style tacos. Once you're ready to eat, you'll purchase your final picks with the cashier. While this spot is affordable, it's not cheap. These tacos quickly add up and you could easily spend $20-30 a person depending on your hunger level. I tried a number of carne asada tacos, the cactus tacos, a tostada, quesadilla, and French fries. It's hard to choose a favorite since each item is so uniquely delicious.

They had the buy 2 get 1 free deal which pushed me to try new meats since I always stick to adobada. ADOBADA HANDS DOWN FIREEE! I love me a good al pastor taco and they make it just right. Super flavorful, juicy and packed w/ meat. I'm always hesitant to try asada because I haven't found a good spot here in SD, but this one was bomb! The meat had great flavor, a smokey taste and was loaded with guac. I'd order one again. The lengua was perfect too, super tender and fell apart just right. They don't skimp on the meats either. Most of the salsas were tasty and had great flavor and the habanero had the perfect kick ! I heard of this spot because my friend had them cater her baby shower and I had to come try the actual spot. Def brought the same energy. Inside is nice and has a good vibe, love all the decor. Service was super sweet! Horchata was bomb too, not to sweet and they said it's homemade! Parking.. good luck, but def worth trying. 10000/10

However I took mine to go, and it was a mess. It was literally dripping oil from the burrito and made such a mess that I didn't even want to eat the 2nd half after eating the first. To be honest it wasn't very tasty either. I didn't even take a pic of the burrito because I was so focused on it not ruining the counter space in the hotel. It served it's purpose of fueling me, but definitely wouldn't recommend it or go back.

THE BEST TACOS hands down. (This is saying something). I'm from Virginia and i have always said…read more**"i don't like tacos" it wasn't until my recent trip to San Diego that i ate my words (literally). These tacos were delicious, juicy, packed, and crafted so wonderfully. The people were very nice, and i loved that they had the salsas at the table with chili oil. I had never thought that chili oil would be good with tacos? But it works! The carne asada here is the star of the show. We had a al pastor one and it was ok but not better than the carne. This place was so good we came twice on our trip (we had wanted to try new restaurants every day but this place was so good we had to come again) - now we did go to Tacos el Gordo and all I'll say is if you love carne asada go to Chulas, but if you like a pork taco go to Tacos el Gordo! **One of my main issues with tacos is that the tortillas are thin/dry? I'm a handmade kind of tortilla person don't like the banderitas brand style of tortillas - now they said they didn't make these by hand but they're definitely not the prepackaged ones.

Service - 5/5 Food - 2/5…read moreAmbiance - 3/5 Service was great. The food was not. I tried asada, chicken, and pastor. The asada and pollo were terrible. They were very wet and didn't even taste seasoned. Also they put way too much guac on the tacos. The pastor was the most flavorful. I've had better tacos even outside of San Diego. This place was overhyped and not worth the hour drive I made.
