The food is very tasty and the place is very clean. It's the only birria in San Diego that actually looks like the one in Tijuana. Highly recommended. They will surely have me back.

I was really expecting great things from this place, came highly recommended and wanted to see what all the fuzz was all about. Had myself 2 birria tacos and a Quesabirria, I don’t have much to say about the food, or the place other than it was underwhelming.They do have Mexican Coke.
July 2023
Birria is good but owner used to work for the original place in Tijuana and brought a recipe that didn’t belong to him here . Kudos to him but not ethical. The real place in TJ is Birria Si in Colonia Libertad. El primo is good but not as great as the real original owners.
