I don't really live near by but if I am craving some bomb Mexican food, I am willing to make the drive. This place has my favorite birria and I love their aguas because you can do a chamoy and tajin rim, yum! My go to's are anything birria but quite honestly, everything is good. There are many things that are shareable, and the carne asada fries are my favorite. Tried their new loaded guacamole and taquitos de papas, and wow so tasty and delicious. The micheladas are also the best out there, and is a big portion so I usually split it with my husband. read more

My experience at Michi Tacos started fairly badly: The cashier couldn't really understand what I was ordering, then she told me there was a 15 minutes wait for to-gos, I sat for literally 45 mins to realize that my order had been ready after 25 mins (instead of 15) but the cashier didn't even bother to let me know or call my name (I was waiting inside, on a bench, literally across the cashier). I was quite frustrated and unhappy with the service until...I tried the food. The food is the only reason why I am rating this place 4 starts. Service was 0, the ambiance, decoration and cleanliness and decoration 4 stars, the tacos: 4.5. Tacos were so tasty, delicious, the fish and shrimp tacos were some of the best fancy, non-street ones I ever had. The sauce blended with all the flavor of the protein seasoning. The tortilla was fluffy. I will definitely go back and try more! read more

Michi Tacos used to be a good spot, but unfortunately, both the food and service seem to be declining. I waited approximately 40 minutes for an online order of just a couple tacos. Sadly, this isn't unusual. Wait times consistently range from 35-45 minutes, even for basic orders. They're also consistently stingy with their sauces, something I've experienced on multiple visits. Employees always seem overwhelmed and understaffed, whether it's a weekday or weekend. It's disappointing to see a place that once delivered good food and service struggle so consistently. Hopefully, management addresses these ongoing issues. read more

Service was great and food was delicious! Attentive staff and food was hot and ready quickly. We had the queso Birria tacos and Birria ramen ( is huge and you can totally share ) Also had the Mexican Jamaica which was very refreshing. This is our second time here and will continue to come back read more

I had a nice conversation with the owner, after my first experience. He apologized for the experience not being ideal and expressed the importance of quality food. I appreciate him taking the time to chat with me, and decided to give this taco shop another chance. We ordered the potato tacos and taquitos again. This time we ordered a side of rice and beans. Oh, and we ordered a quesotaco. The quesotaco was great! I would order that again. Tacos and taquitos were much better this time. Service was good. Ambiance was busy- lots of people there for a weekday. read more

Michi Tacos - Tamarindo Michelada - Mexican Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

Excited to try the new beer battered tacos order to go and it was GRILLED no batter! Payed $6.00 for chips and salsa and got the smallest batch of chips I couldn't believe it. The chips are good salsa is to watered. The Tacos are good and priced well to today standards. I just wish when you order to go they don't bag it all up for you, they should bag it only after the food has been inspected by the customer because there always messing up to go orders. And over $5 refreshers is a big mistake. Overall as local I won't be coming here anymore. The vibe is nice. read more

Michi Tacos - Aguas frescas pepino y lima - Mexican Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

First time here and the food was delicious. We got a couple pupusas, tacos (asada/pollo/al pastor), and their rolled potato tacos. It was all cooked to perfection and the cuts of meat were very good. I tried the horchata as many seemed to think it was the best, I personally thought it was too sweet and ridiculously overpriced. Overall, it was a good experience, service was good, and the restaurant was spacious with clean seating area. read more

I was told by Lake Elsinore locals that this is the best taco place they've ever been to. This place absolutely did not disappoint. First of all, the girls working at the register were SO helpful and nice. The menu is neither overwhelming nor lacking in options. The horchata was delicious. The quesabirria and consome were hands down the tastiest. The side sauces are super flavorful, and you even get free chips and salsa while you wait for your food to be made fresh. read more

Michi Tacos - Quesa Birria and Consome Combo - Mexican Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

En fuego! I got takeout. I had the birra soecial. I liked the spicy soup side and that they gave me little limes; the 3 types of hot sauces were excellent. I saved the creamy habenero for other food the next day. The shells are a little oily but I can look past that. Would recommend. read more

I've been following Michi tacos on instagram for YEARS. I so happen to be in the area on a random Wednesday and stopped by right when they opened. I ordered 2 queso birria tacos with all the fixings, consommé, & cucumber/lemon agua fresca. Meat: girllll flavorful, she was juicy, she was seasoned, she was moist. She was PACKED. Taco shell itself: this may just be personal preference but I do wish it was crispier cause it started to fall apart half way through eating it. I also loved that it wasn't caked with too much cheese. Consommé: so much bawdyyyyy to it, not oily! Again, seasoned perfectly. I've tried some other consommés where it just taste like they salted the shit out of it before they serve it- To each their own. But this one was perfect. I actually ordered more to go and I may have sipped on her on my drive home. Salsas: the amazing waitress brought me 3 types of salsas. Let's just say I had them in rotation during my meal. Cucumber/lime agua Fresca: no notes. She was refreshing. Chips:Why review chips?? It's like having bread at a restaurant it really sets the tone. The tone was set, honey. The chips were seasoned perfectly. Not just with salt like most restaurants do but with something else. I couldn't put my finger on it- they most likely make it in house. It's so good. Nonetheless, fantastic. I couldn't get enough of them. Overall, I'll be thinking of you Michi's. Thanks for a good time. read more

Michi Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

This place lost the hype it once had. We got here one hour before they closed. Was totally ignored, heard multiple complaints from other customers who had there orders wrong. All the employee's just hanging out in the back. Took 20 minutes to pour our beers with a tajin rim. Over priced, bad service, dirty venue, it checks all the bad boxes for real. Tip to owner, fire everyone, and rehire and revamp your restaurant. If you have family working for you try and invest in some training for your staff. read more

Michi Tacos - Water down flavorless salsa, stale chips. Wack - Mexican Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

Michi Tacos has the BEST birria in the area!! This one is in Old Town Lake Elsinore. The quesabirria tacos are fried so they're crunchy, but please keep in mind that a quesabirria is pretty much a mulita turned into a taco shell, stuffed w birria goodness on the inside, so this will make you extremely full!! The 3 quesabirria y consome + the chips and salsa were very filling for 2 people!! We left the restaurant stuffed!! The inside feels intimate since it's very dark inside (the kind of lighting vampires who are on a date would appreciate lol)... maybe a little more lighting would suffice? Anyway, I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for really good birria!! read more

Let me start by saying that the tortillas were genuinely good. Unfortunately everything else was pretty underwhelming. The carne asada was overly salty and the alpastor lacked the flavor and seasoning I was expecting. The salsa was disappointing as well....it had a strong oregano like taste that overpowered everything else and didn't really complement the food. 2/5 and I'm being generous here. read more

Amazing birria tacos!!! Amazing customer service!!! and an amazingly decorated restaurant

Just pass all together tried the Menifee location today isn't any better. Complete lack of integrity ordered 4 tacos online 20 min wait. Arrived there waited 45 mins, the front of house told me it would only be 10 mins 10 turned into 45 obviously they never started the order from the jump. I would have gotten a refund if the food wasn't for someone else read more

Sadly, we were misinformed about this taco shop! We ordered several different kinds of tacos. Most we left behind on the table. Al pastor was done unknown sponge meat. The chicken tacos were rubbery and had a very strange flavor. The birria was just ok. The chorizo beans were overly salted and tasted like canned beans. So disappointing all the way around read more

Good food! Service was amazing ! New to the area, this place did not disappoint Would recommend if you are craving tacos

Yummy spot for some tacos! Stopped by on my lunch break and the decor inside is so cute. The Michi tacos were delicious and I can't wait to go back and try more things on their menu. The birria was so tender and seasoned nicely! The salsa that came with the chips was really flavorful as well! The girl who took my order was really patient with me and gave good recommendations for my first time there. read more

If you want to try Michis come to this location and not Menifee. Menifee's service is terrible. We usually come here for their quesabirria tacos, they are loaded with beef and are crunch unlike other places that serve soggy tacos. They are flavorful and so is the consomé. Their Al pastor is also very good. You have to try their torta Al pastor with frijoles con chorizo, it's sooo good!! Their aguas frescas are overpriced but they are good. Ambience here is laid back and service is ok! read more

Me and my father decided to try this taco place after seeing it every time we walked down main street. So we went in and we both immediately loved the atmosphere from the dim, cozy lighting, to the nicely painted walls and cherry tree fixtures. The cashier/hostess at the front noticed we couldn't decide which tasty option to get, and recommended us their most popular birria and consome tacos. We sat down after ordering and our food arrived only 6 minutes after we ordered it! The tacos were the most delicious birria tacos we had ever eaten. It's a bit messy, but it's well worth it. I recommend this restaurant and think it's also a good place for a family dinner! read more

Ordered from grubhub, burrito was missing the tomatoes, guacamole and crema. Good thing salsas were included on the side or it would've been very bland! Disappointed for sure was my first time and probably last purchasing from here read more

This was my first time here. I ordered 2 Michi Tacos. One chicken and one Birria. The tacos were $5 each. They gave me free chips and salsa which were amazing. The chips were perfectly crispy and salty and the salsa was really good and not spicy. The tacos were regular size on a soft corn tortilla which never split open while I was eating them. The tacos were loaded with chopped onions and cilantro, grilled onions, cheese, beans and a thin guacamole type sauce. There was so much on them I had to eat some first with a fork. The restaurant was small and you order at the front counter first then sit down. There were restrooms in the back also. The women that worked there were nice. They would come check on us too. There were a lot of different items on the menu and lots of types of meats. I would love to go back there. read more

Michi Tacos is legit! We started with the Loaded Guac- and that was amazing! The carne in the loaded guac is so flavorful - and the guac is rich with sabor- and nice fresh chunks of avacado. It's presented well too with the chips and the traditional stone bowl. We had Tacos and pupusas - authentic Mexican AND Central American Latin flavors! The tacos were delicious and served nice and hot with three different kinds of salsas on request. After the loaded guac, two tacos was more than enough! We had Jamaica and Jarritos for drinks and those were great too. The ambience is lively, fun - and comfortable. The booths have padded seats and chairs. The staff is kind and hospitable and creates a warm and friendly atmosphere. Michi Tacos brings delicious goodness to downtown Lake Elsinore. I will definitely be back! read more

I've ordered from this place a few times-the delivery apps sometimes have great taco Tuesday deals-and I've never been disappointed. This particular order, I got their queso shrimp tacos-really good. Also a pupusa and their loaded fries. What I like about Michi's is that they have a distinct style and their dishes are unique to them. Take their loaded fries for example. Just about every Mexican restaurant has them, but Michi's loads theirs with all the usual toppings and bakes them. The dish is served under a sheet of melted cheese and the fries are just right. I didn't care for the pupusas, as I'm very picky with them. They weren't bad, I think it was either the type of cheese or that I'd prefer mine more melted. I've only had takeout from here, but the times I have stepped inside, I was greeted with great service and would easily order anything again. read more

I really wanted to enjoy my visit here, especially since I came with my family, but unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing. The tables were extremely sticky and wobbly, which made it uncomfortable to sit and eat. The place in general looks very "descuidado" -- like it hasn't been properly maintained or cared for in a while. On top of that, there was a lot of smoke inside during the afternoon, which made it really hard for me to breathe since I have asthma. The food itself was honestly amazing, and I will give credit where it's due -- it's always good, even though it takes quite a long time to come out. But the environment and service don't match the quality of the food. The employees all seemed really stressed and were constantly running around, which made it feel like things aren't being managed well. Overall, it just feels like whoever is in charge doesn't really care about the condition of the restaurant, which is a shame because the food has so much potential. read more

This is an amazing place, sandy our server is the best, she gave us excellent service, the food is very delicious and authentic, I will definitely come back, this will be our taco place and the birria is out of this world read more

Wanted to try this place a few times before posting this review. Let me just say that tacos and quesobirria are absolutely delicious. This is the reason I come to Michis Tacos. Service is good, love the ambiance. I don't give it a 5 star because the wait is awful. One of my visits we waited about 30-45 min for 2 quesabirria and 2 tacos and they didn't look busy that day. I went back Friday night and waited 20-30 min for my order and again it was not that busy inside, there was a few empty tables. Other than that food is so tasty and the salsas are so good. I will continue to come for tacos because they are that good in my opinion. read more

Michi Tacos were to die for!! I got the Birria quesadilla and it was fantastic. The best birria I've had!! I got the consome to go with it, so it was more pricey ($18) but the quesadilla was HUGE.
