    In my search for the best tacos in San Diego, California I took all of your comments from the "5 Must-Try Tacos in San Diego" video and set out on a new mission! My goal was to find the best birria tacos in San Diego.
    I started at the famous Ed Fernandez Restaurant for incredible Birria de Res, served up a variety of ways. From there, it was off to Birrieria y Menuderia Guadalajara in Chula Vista for Birria de Chivo. Then it was off to Birrieria Don Rafa for more Birria de Chivo tacos (right next to Tacos el Gordo) in Chula Vista. Our fourth and final stop was 664 TJ Birrieria for Birria de Res.
    It was a mouthwatering, over-eating, wonderful day of trying the best birria tacos in San Diego, and if you ever come visit, or you live here - this is one of the best things to do in San Diego!

      You totally missed the BEST Birria in Chula Vista! It’s called El Chinito Jr. It’s a taco truck and it’s parked on the corner of H St and Broadway. About a block north of Don Rafa. Order the Quesa Taco Birria. Very addicting. And their Consome is on point. It’s better than Fernandez.

    I recently moved to La Jolla after living in Nestor for 6 years and there’s nothing more I miss than coming here on a Sunday morning to dine in pre-covid. Ed (the owner) welcomed everyone through his doors and made you feel at home. He would greet everybody and shake their hands and always had a smile on his face. Times were more simple then... I highly encourage everyone to support this family business. Location: right off the 5 south Coronado Ave exit right behind the shell gas station and fire station(you turn in where there’s a liquor store and tire shop straight after the light off the exit.) Time flies on the freeway so don’t even worry about the drive since it’s so convenient.
    Warning⚠️ It gets busy so go early and I suggest to call in... it’s hard to get through sometimes since they get so many calls so just keep calling if the line is busy. If you go, trust me, you’ll be back for more!

    It’s my birthday week so splurged. 20 min drive, called it in. The wait time was 15 mins.
    They were friendly, and very efficient. The food was so rediculously good. Just like in video everything dipped in consommé. The hot sauce will grow hair on your chest(ladies).
    Great video.

    One word of advise when eating a juicy taco: hold it at a slight angle with one hand as you're about to take a bite and with the other, hold your plate right underneath, this so you don't drip the juices all over your hand and/or clothing. Simple trick.

    michelada con clamato is a beer of your choice infused with clamato juice, which is basically tomato juice with some type of spices added. on the top edges of the plastic cup, there is this thick mix of chiles(dried peppers) and probably also tamarind pulp(this is a fruit that is super common in México). Basically, this pulp and the chile mix tastes like a chewy candy. I like to take a drink and eat a little bit of the chewy tamarind with chile and it tastes incredible, especially if it's hot out. It will be easy to drink the equivalence of a caguama(just under 1 liter of beer).

    I am born and raised in Phoenix, the land of mexican food, and I have never had or heard of a birria taco. WOW I must try them, now I will have to look for some here in Phoenix...thanks so much for bringing yet another cuisine to the forefront for us to try!

    Places overlooked In San Diego: El Borrego Restaurant ( Best mole lamb enchiladas) ,
    Try “Cantina Mayahuel” On Tuesdays and Fridays, Cantina Mayahuel serves perfectly authentic mole.
    And my favorite “City tacos” has flavor AND ambiance!!!

    Birrieria La Loteria for the win if you are in San Diego. It is by far the best birria truck in the town. They are also opening a restaurant in IB early next year (2024).

    You only got half of the experience at Ed Fernandez place. Not only is it the best birria in my opinion , but when you dine in the customer service is amazing. Make sure you check them out again when they open up for dine in.
