Birrieria El Mendez

These were the best birria tacos I have had in California. Quality and flavor is comparable to birria I have had in Guadalajara, MX. These were incredible. My only regret is that I didn't order more (to go). Sizes are comparable to street tacos. I wish I ordered 6. Thank you for the amazing food. I look forward to coming back!

Simply incredible! The birria is so flavorful, the vampiro is delicious, and the habanero pickled onions are so well done. One of the best Mexican restaurants in all of San Diego!

Hands down the best birria I've ever had. The birria tacos are awesome, the quesabirria is incredible, and the consomme is straight crack. They get really creative and do stuff like birria ramen or egg rolls which are also super good. Highly recommended!

Ok I had a birria torta from this place about a week ago and I have been reminiscing about it ever since. Girl I have never had birria this good. Im usually a slow eater but I ate this so fast… can’t describe how delicious it was PLS support this place

Wow! I first had this place when they were out of a food truck outside Bear Roots when I was playing a show there. The flavor BLEW me away. I have been travelling for the last two years and have consistently told my girlfriend how badly I wanted to experience it again.

My God, I was pumped to hear they had opened up at a brick and mortar, part of a Panderia (?).

Let me just say the flavor of their birria and consomé are the absolute best I've ever had. You know when people are like "this is the best ever" and it's generic like white people food like taco Bell and you realize the average person's pallete is satisfied by mediocre food, this ISNT THE CASE AT ALL here.

The flavors are incredible. I can't pinpoint it, but it is incredible. The team working were the sweetest ever. We ordered two rounds of the quesabirria and street tacos .
