“ Me and my parents come here every once in a while and the food is amazing. The flour tortillas are soft and homemade always try to come early on the weekends to get some homemade Menudo as a beverage. My wife loves to get their coconut Horchata it kinda sounds weird, but it works amazing. I can confidently say whatever you pick from this place you will not be disappointed. ”
“ This place is a solid indoor birria joint in Chula Vista. I'm from Sydro so I'd only ever ordered Birrieria el Primo from the foodtruck next to Grocery Outlet, but I was with a friend in the area and we decided to try their in store location. When we walked in, there was waitresses and they sat us and took our orders. I just went for the classic tacos, meanwhile my friend opted for a regular taco and a quesataco. They brought us out chips and salsa to start munching while we waited for the food, and the sauces were very tasty and seemed fresh. The food came out shortly, although the tortilla wasn't very "dorada" despite us both asking for our tacos that way, but this birria never makes me sick "nunca cae pesada" and I like that it isn't as greasy as some others that I've had in SD. It's a solid place, and I love their use of repollo in their tacos, that's so Tijuana birrieria Si, La Libertad, if u know u know realness and it adds such a nice pop of color and complexity to the taco. For drinks, we didn't do too much and just stuck to some sodas but they do have cafe de olla which definitely warrants a try. The tacos weren't as hot as I would've loved them to be which was a bummer since they usually come out piping at the food trucks, but for being indoors and having ac, i can't complain too much. The inside is a bit weird, because they have scenery painted on the windows as they're blacked out on both sides, and the decor is flashy and intense, but it's a nice eating experience and I enjoyed having my meal indoors. Also thank god they accept apple pay, I saw so many reviews talking about them making you pay in cash, and honestly it's true there is an ATM inside the building, but we were able to use tap to pay with no problem and the bill wasn't ridiculous, but definitely not the cheapest birria place in SD. God knows if they made me pay in cash I'd be livid. But, OVERALL DAYGOEATS CERTIFIED only because this is the mother store to the food truck and it's good, but ima still be hitting up the food truck first. ”
“ I was in the area and craving for some Mexican food. This spot did not disappoint, food was delicious and it was served within 10 mins. I guess I was lucky that service was fast after reading some of the reviews. I like the idea that they bring each table tacos condiments/toppings. ”
