One of the best birria places I've tried so far! Located in front of True North. Perfect location if you're bar hopping in the area, stop by for some tacos! I always get the quesabirria and consome!

Quesataco
Jozel R.

Nice outdoor tent seating. We got greeted at we approached the food truck. First time here and we had a few questions. They had music playing and the stereo was right next to the cashier lady that was taking our order and it was very difficult trying to talk over the music with our masks on as well as trying to listen to what she was saying. We ordered a birriamen, which was okay the broth had flavor but didn't think it was anything special. The keto and quesataco was good loved the cheesiness. Taco dorado was my favorite loved the shell that came with it. The birria meat was good and tender. The tacos ranged from $2.45 to $4.00 and some tacos are small so they could get pricey for the portion. Good place if you're a fan of birria.

Birria ramen is too fire
Riley S.

Came to birria kings on a gloomy day with some sniffles w my bae. He came for the taco Tuesday specials. I saw the birria ramen and i was set on that tasted fire asf. Beautiful presentation and it's something out of the ordinary. Love supporting the local businesses !! Espically when the food hits ur heart like at home. I will most def come and I totally recommend it to everyone !! Next time I'm bringing my kids !!! Ohhh!!! And they have hella jarritos flavors yeeeeee

Quesa Tacos
Jack M.

This Food Truck makes some pretty good beef birria, not to mentions some pretty good quesa tacos. That being said, it was a pair a beef birria quesa tacos for lunch. The tacos were $4 a piece. The best time to come is on Taco Tuesday because you can get 3 quesa tacos for $10. The quesa tacos were well made. They meat was tender and juicy, but I thought the tacos could of used a little more meat and cheese. The chopped onions and cilantro were both good. They need to crisp up the corn tortilla just a little bit more for that excellent texture. I liked that they give you a small cup of beef consommé that the birria is prepared in. It was quite delicious. The young lady at the front was quite nice. They offer a very good amount of outside seating and it's tented right next to the food truck.

Quesataco

Because the customer service was good I gave this spot a 4 star. It did take a while to order my food which is not the trucks fault. I ended up just ordering 1 quesataco because it was $4.00. It was my first time trying this place so I didn't want to end up with a lot of food if I wasn't going to like it. The taco was alright. I would say I've had better. It's nothing special but also it wasn't bad. Honestly it was small and not worth the $4. I probably wouldn't come back here due to the prices. It just wasn't worth my money.

Birria tacos and birria ramen

Place is decent. The seating is great. Wait is decent. Overall this place wasn't good or bad. Seating: 10/10 - Plenty of seating Wait: 5/10 - wait felt too long for not much food Price: 3/10 - birria ramen didn't have enough meat for it to be $12.00 tacos were priced decently Food: 6/10 - ramen was a pass. Tacos hard shell weren't crispy, quesataco definitely had a good amount of cheese. And green salsa doesn't have much flavor. A red spicy salsa would have helped. But no red salsa. Not bad but definitely worth a try. Just wouldn't recommend the ramen for lack of meat and value.

Be prepared to wait for your order. From waiting in line to getting our food, it took maybe 45 minutes. I don't believe the employees at the register/calling out orders have the most efficient system. They also play music pretty loud and don't have a mic to call out orders so it may take a while for people to hear when they're being called. Food was good, could've been better especially for how relatively high their prices are. $4 quesataco, $5 mulita, $4 consome. Would be cheaper going to a birrieria. The birria is tender and savory and not too heavy or rich. However, by the time we got home (10 min away) our tacos were very soggy. Wish there was a crunchy quesataco option on the menu.

My parents picked up food from here per my request for my birthday. They said it's inside of Chula Vista Brewing and was a little difficult to locate. Temperature was a little warm inside as well. Food was ready to pick up on time. We ordered tacos, the birria pizza and birria ramen. Everything was yummy, I would go back for the birria pizza for sure.

Birriamen

FYI, this review is based on one dish, and not the business as a whole. I may update this in the future. I want to eat here again just to be certain about my opinion, but this is my initial review for the Birria Ramen. -------- It's pretty good, but not great. I'm also a really big fan of ramen and have eaten ramen in multiple, cities, states, and countries. The ramen and birria combo don't quite work. It's really salty. It reminded me of the first time I ate pho or Chipotle - good, but not great because I didn't know how I liked all of the extras prepared. For me, I think it's missing lime. I added more to the bowl I ordered, but like I said, I think if I played with the "extras" I might be able to dial it in and give this 5 stars. However, as is, it's not the best ramen. And at $13, it's basically an extravagant Maruchan. Still giving it 4 stars though. Clever idea, fast service, pretty good (I would try again), clean, and lots of space with good customer service.

Birria pizza
Marc D.

Finally was able to try this place after seeing their pics online. Came here on a Sunday afternoon. There was not much people during that time. We tried the Birria pizza and Birria ramen. Birria pizza- this pizza was really big! I really like the Tortilla crust! It had a good amount of Birria and was really cheesy. Definitely can feed atleast 4 ppl. This was really good but it was a lil messy to eat. The pizza came with consome. Birria ramen- the flavor was really good. It had a good amount of ramen and birria. The ramen was on the saltier side but still enjoyed it.

Tacos

If you've never had birria before, you must try it! This Mexican stew hails from the Mexican state of Jalisco and is traditionally made with goat, but this Chula Vista-based food truck makes a beef version. "Birria King" is an appropriate name for this establishment: the chefs make creative use of their birria in tacos, tortas, burritos, and even ramen and pizza! We opted for the more traditional tacos and tortas and were not disappointed. The meat is fall-apart, rich and savory; the stock (consomme) is doused over the tortillas and bread, which adds tremendous flavor. The seating area is simple but comfortable: large tent covers several tables, seating about 20. There is even a liquor store closeby to pickup a beverage to accompany this excellent meal.

Birria Pizza

Asked for no onions. Onions on everything. Asked for a Birria quesadilla, got a taco. Meat was also very fatty this time around.

There are so many excellent taquerias in San Diego, and they all have their own great recipes for…read moreMexican food. I particularly enjoy the Adobada tacos from Chula Tacos because they serve a very generous portion of meat, guacamole and are very tasty. The first time I tried them was at their H Street restaurant in Chula Vista, but that location is temporarily closed. I decided to try their Palm Avenue location since I was in the area visiting family. The service was friendly, and the tacos were prepared very quickly. The restaurant was clean. I'm looking forward to the H Street location reopening since it is much closer to where I live. Happy Yelping :)

Sometimes, there are nights when only tacos can fix me. It's no secret that San Diego has tacos in…read morespades and being so close to the border, you'd think that a quest to find the perfect taco would be as simple as rolling down to the nearest taqueria. Except, it's not quite that simple. Many beloved staples have gone downhill, while some newer spots that might boast things like a Michelin mention or multiple locations ranging from TJ to Vegas contain more hype and gristle than tender meat and substance. Enter Chula Tacos. Chula is, and always was, the type of place that makes you forget that you're not actually in Tijuana. While part of me misses their OG Market Street location, seeing them with brick-and-mortars feels hard-earned and well-deserved. This location on Palm in IB is relatively easy to access from the freeway, but parking can be tricky. You can safely assume that it will be busy and you will either have to be very lucky or be willing to find a spot on the street. Out of all the times I've been here, it's always been crowded enough that I've never been able to find a table inside, but I enjoy sitting out on the patio next to the ahumederos. The first thing that hits you walking through the door is how amazing everything smells. The queue to the cashier takes you near a window showing the kitchen where you can see the Chula Tacos team making fresh tortillas, slicing meat from the trompos, grilling up jalapenos, nopales, onions, labio, and tripa. For me, it's not so much a challenge to decide what I want, it's more a challenge to keep myself from ordering everything. My usual is four tacos: two asada, two al pastor (but I've heard that I should also try their world famous keka). The tacos though? Perfection. Every time, the asada is the juiciest and most tender I've ever eaten, the al pastor is succulent and flavorful, and no taco in front of me is long for the world. At $3.50 each, every one of them is absolutely loaded. Three would honestly fill me up, but I always want four. After getting burned by spots that ask around 75% more and deliver anywhere between 25-50% less, Chula Tacos feels like an absolute godsend of a Tijuana-style taqueria and I can't see any other contenders being my go-to. So, when I say "Tacos will fix me," what I mean nowadays is "Chula Tacos will fix me."
