    Tripa being grilled

    Across from the Mercado (which was fun in itself), my husband's cousins recommended this place because we just needed to cross the street. Having to cross into Mexico, I slightly prayed the food would be border crossing worthy. It was. We ordered the birria (beef), asada, and tripa (intestines). Well, I did. The tripa and asada were great. I was a little nervous with the birria. I wasn't sure if I was a fan yet. But if ordering another round isn't an indicator, I don't know what is. lol The service was good. Our waitress came, memorized our order perfectly. That was a nice surprise because my husband and I kept changing our order and we were skeptical. Some of the tacos came out slower than others (especially during round 2 & 3). It was just dependent on what everyone else was ordering at the same time. This is a big space, but it's busy. It's a great casual spot where you can have a great time with your group and have delicious food.

    El consome con mucha grasa tacos de asada no tenian salsa No esta tan bueno como todos lo comentan

    I'm here right now and it's great! The salsa roja is so good! Plus live music is always great! Overall very yummy and the service is nice. No es caro también. Would definitely come back!

    Just across the border next to Mercado Hidalgo, you'll find this spot for great birria. You can enjoy it on tacos made on different types of shells or on consomé - the original way. The place is clean, friendly, prompt and efficient service. Found this place thanks to Lalo Villar from "La Ruta de la Garnacha". We stop here often and every time we have had a great visit. Will recommend to everyone!

    Some of the BEST birria tacos on this earth!! This is where the quesabirria was invented. Im not a big fan of that taco but here it is absolutely delicious. Don't know what it is but it is amazing.

    Taco birria and consomé

    Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night sad because I was having this incredible dream that I was eating here! Ok so let me tell you these tacos de birria are the best I've had in my life NO CAP! And I've eaten lots of tacos ! We stayed in a hotel near this place and I was willing to go anywhere for the perfect birria taco (that is a specialty here in Tijuana) for my good luck the hotel staff told me that this place was one of the best ones and it was in walking distance . They have dine in and take out, we got ourselves a table and I'm glad we were there "early" 9am became once we were seated a lot of people started to show up to dine in and to take away food so that gave me a good clue that we were in the Right place. Well when I got there I wasn't sure how many tacos to order but I knew I wanted that consomé or "soup" where you can dunk your taco in, I order a small cup of that and 2 birria tacos (for a good start you know) The soup is so flavorful you don't need to add anything to it some people may like to add lime or salsa and that's great but just as it is IT WAS DELICIOUS and then you pair it with the tacos and it's heaven on earth. I wanted to try the "quesabirria" which is basically a quesadilla with birria meat in it, I order 2 of dose. When I tell you my mind exploded from the pleasure and so much deliciousness that I was dealing with I'm not lying. Definitely give it 10 stars if I could and the staff were kind and nice as they usually are in these type of small places in Mexico (I love that) and also quick to bring you your food MUST HAVE TACOS

    Finally got to try this awesome restaurant!!! It is located across the street from mercado hidalgo. They serve beef Birria and it was delicious! I opted for the birria tacos with a side of consomé, some of the best birria tacos i have had! Would definitely get there early, they sell out fast!

    Many people waiting in line early in the am already
    Horton L.

    This is probably one of the best birria tacos I've had in all of Mexico! Came on a Sunday morning and many people are already in line! You know this place is lit when you have hoards of locals waiting in line for food. I would describe this as local Tijuanians favorite brunch spot. It did not disappoint. I love that they take COVID seriously by measuring temps and make you wash your hands and use sanitizer before you go into the shop to order and eat. The soup that came with the birria is absolutely Devine and I eventually drank the whole cup after I finished dipping my wet tacos. Yes they are that good! I recommend washing them all down with some Mexican coke. A perfect day in Tijuana starts here!

    This is my first time ever visiting Mexico and we made our way to Tijuana. We came to the Mercado to buy some dulces and bring stuff home to our familes. Our friend told us about these tacos de birria that we had to try here in the mercado. The service is extremely quick and the ambiance is very friendly. THERES sometimes live music and you get your food in less than 10 minutes. For 9 people it came out to 740 pesos which is around 38 dollars!!! This is including drinks for everyone and tacos. This is definitely a spot you should try if you're ever down here.

    Tasty. If you are visirung Tijuana I recommend to anyone that likes Birria! Delicious I'll be back

It came highly recommended by both locals and fellow food lovers, and after seeing the incredible reviews, we knew we had to experience it for ourselves. We ordered a little bit of everything: tacos de tripa, tacos al pastor, tacos de asada, and an asada quesadilla. Every single item was packed with flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. The tripas were perfectly crispy without being greasy, the al pastor was juicy, well-seasoned, and had that classic balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors, and the asada was tender with a delicious char-grilled flavor. The asada quesadilla was generously filled with meat and gooey melted cheese, making it the perfect complement to the tacos. One thing I really appreciated was how convenient the ordering process is. They have a drive-through style setup where you simply pull up and park in front of the restaurant. An employee comes directly to your car to take your order, and once your food is ready, they bring it right out to you. It's such an easy and efficient experience, especially if you're eager to grab amazing food and get back on the road. It's easy to see why this place has earned such a stellar reputation. Between the authentic flavors, generous portions, friendly service, and convenient setup, this was the perfect way to kick off our trip into Mexico. I'll definitely be making this a tradition every time I cross the border.

The food was actually good, wish I could say the same about the service. Ordered tacos and when it came to drinks they only had one kind. The problem was that even tho the restaurant was dead empty they were in a big rush to get us out of there. This was around 2pm today May 21st 2025. It's not like we made this up, my mom and I head the cook tell the waiter that we had finished eating but still had not left. I am never coming back here since TJ is crowded with taco stands that would love me as a customer. I advise you to save yourself the bad experience and rather get it to go or eat somewhere else. Fuimos a este local hoy 21 de Mayo. Los tacos estaban buenos pero el servicio no fue lo que esperaba. Primeramente solo tenían un tipo de refresco pero el problema fue que no entiendo porque si el local estaba solo, los empleados tenían tanta prisa por que nos retiráramos. Escuchamos a un cocinero chaparro que le dijo a la mesera que nomas nos paramos pero no nos íbamos. Este no es modo de tratar a sus clientes. Ay bastantes puestos de tacos en Tijuana. Si siguen haciendo esto van a crear mala fama. Les sugiero que busquen otro puesto de tacos y se eviten un mal rato.

The Zona Rio location has a small dining area, that is very popular with both the locals and visitors. It is easy to see why. Their menu does not over dose on the standard morning and afternoon items that you would find anyplace. However, this is the first restaurant I've been to in Tijuana, that does not have an English menu.... so I had to labor through the Spanish menu. But, they do have unique dishes, thus making the visit adventurous, because it is difficult to choose. I went back and forth, and finally settled for their 3-egg omelet with asparagus and sheep cheese. It came with refried beans, strings of carrots and beets, small fired up tostadas and fresh tortillas (both blue and yellow corn). A small side of soggy chilaquiles was also served. A small flavorful salsa tray is also provided with 3 options, ranging from mild to hot. The asparagus spears were thin, cut up into small pieces and sautéed with mild spices. The outer egg covering soft and not overdone. If anything, there was too much sheep cheese, in certain portions of the omelet. I say this because it was an asparagus omelet, and it, instead of the cheese, should have been the star. Still, it did not take away from the other commendable aspects of the complete entree and its accompaniments. Before the meal, a small refreshing fruit plate is served. Coffee and overall service here, was mucho excellente.
