Delicious rich Birria on handmade tortillas are not your typical tacos in San Diego with their amazing chili oil and marrow. I did not get it this time but it’s a

The tacos are good. The tortillas seem to be a homemade tortilla. The meat has good flavor and the cheese complements the beef well.The tacos seem on the high end - $6/ea for the quesobirria - which seems to be a bit on the high end. The consome was decent.This is essentially a take out place. There are tables but there’s no service. You order on a computer screen and they call your number when the food is ready.The tacos were good but they’re $6 good. It’s also not a place I’d go out of the way for.

Their ordering system is a little weird. It's a self ordering system. I ordered a birria torta and a consume with no meat. It took around 40 to 50 min to get to me. The bread was past toasted so burned on the inside and top, and weirdly sogy at the same time. The birria itself was okay. Not the best. I would recommend going somewhere else unless you dont mind waiting.

Good spot if you are nearby, but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it again. We order several items on the menu, including tuetanos. The best part of our meal was the birria meat, which was soft and delicious. The broth was also very good, but on the high-end of sodium for our taste. The birria quesa tacos were good, and the salsa was delicious, but for some reason, they didn't compliment each other. We tried the birria tacos with tuetano, and for us, it was a miss. Adding tuetano to the birria tacos was richness overkill.If you like service, this is not the spot for you. You place the order on a terminal and wait for them to call your name. There are no napkins, spoons, lemon, or salsas at your table or in a nearby station. You have to ask the nice one person behind the counter if you need anything. For us, the whole experience felt very impersonal, especially if you compare it with Central birrieria or Ed Fernandez.The atmosphere was nice and music was on point. I'm definitely glad we tried it.

Order the Michelada de las casa it’s so good!
Ordered four crispy Quesabirria tacos, two bone marrows, a birria consomme and a coke. I'd give a four star for flavour, but I give a three due to the expensive price.Pros -Tacos were pretty decent. Nice and juicy.Nice spot on the deck.Cons -Very expensive in my opinion. $49.03 for not a ton of food.The bone marrow is a bit of a gimmick in my opinion. You don't get a whole lot for $7.50 a piece.The consomme was ok, and you honestly don't really need it as the birria tacos were already quite juicy. So unless you want something to sip on, it's not necessary.Not sure why, but the order took quite a while. 20 minutes for tacos. Surprising since you'd think everything is prepped before hand. And the place wasn't that busy.

Some of the best tacos I’ve had! The bone marrow is an amazing addition to the birria tacos. Tortillas also seem to be home made. Even the chorizo one was delicious! Next door you can get also get elote, donuts and drinks.

Came for the Birria tacos ? ?. Didn't get the bone marrow this time, but the tacos were very good. Ordered some extra consume to dip those tacos into.We tried the normal and with cheese varieties. Both great.Nice tables in shade and plenty of seating.Self ordering using a tablet thingy. Order drinks at bat direct with a bartender.Food took a few minutes longer than other taco shops; sit back, take in the scene while you wait.

Easy ordering, fantastic flavor. Try the "crispy" Birria tacos - perfect. And if you're feeling extra adventurous, order a "spicy" margarita. ?? Worth the drive to Old Town.

The Birria meat is smoked for 30hrs! If you didn’t know.. now you know! It is soo delicious and fresh!! They sold out 2hrs before closing time.. that’s how good it is ?I could do without the bone marrow but you have to at least try it once! Thank you!

Explosion of flavor very rich, not your regular tacos. Reading other reviews people should know that these tacos are handmade to order and you can tell once you get your food . They look fresh . Delicious. People ignore that fact that these tacos are not like other tacos and that wait time is what makes them so great . Reminds me of Mexico City with a northern twist in the flavor . It’s hard for people in San Diego to identify this or the tourists

The birria tacos were absolutely amazing, best I’ve ever had, came for the bone marrow tacos & was not disappointed, even without the bone marrow the tacos are absolutely exquisite, the tacos had soooo much protein in them I got full after eating two, these tacos are pricey in my opinion but it’s understandable for the quality & quantity. Got 3 tacos with bone marrow, 3 without & a bottle of water, total after tip was almost $80. I will not be coming back because something about paying that much for 6 tacos simply doesn’t sit right with me, however it was a great culinary experience & im glad I came here for lunch!

Tacos with bone marrow, very exquisite! Even the Yorkshire’s loves the bonesI really enjoy Al fresco dining. You order on a touch screen, very easy to understand. The horchata was not too sweet! All in all a good experience.

Very expensive and overpriced. Birria was bland. No flavor or seasoning. Bone barrow was decent. One big chunk came out of the bone. Topo Chico was room temp and not cold. Good portion of guac and chips but again, under seasoned.
