Came by here a few times already... weekend/weekday evenings both had steady stream of customers taking to go as well as dining in. Food was ready about 10 mins after ordering... clean dining area, friendly ladies at the counter. The quesotaco with its juicy birria was delicious... rolled tacos, crunchy... we also ordered a torta.. it was huge.. but also so tasty. Honestly very satisfied w the whole meal. Not much else to say, it was delicious. They have some desserts we need to try next time we visit! Prices are comparable to other like places.. read more

As more birria places have popped up I finally have one that is closer to me so wanted to test it out. Previously I'd drive to Chula Vista for my favorite birria. Mr. Birria is in a little strip mall with plenty of parking. It's decently big inside with lots of tables. Service at the counter was quick and they were nice. I got a quesa birria taco, an adobada taco, a side of consomme, and a birria quesadilla. The adobada taco was pretty good. The birria quesadilla you almost can't go wrong although the tortilla gets really soggy from the birria. Wished it held up better. The birria is tender and flavorful. The queso in my taco though was almost non existent and also could have been a different cheese than I have had in the past with birria. The consomme on its own was just ok though I remember it being a bit more flavorful at other places. I guess my thought was that if they used that for the ramen it would be disappointing. Salsa bar is great- a green and a red and a chilli oil. So, overall I think the birria here is pretty good and I would go back, but the place in Chula Vista is still the best for me. read more

We returned to Mr. Birria for a to go order. I had the full order of Beef Stew (birria) with corn tortillas. $16 It was a huge portion, I got six meals out of it. The birria was robust and flavorful with a nice heat to it. A squeeze of the fresh lime really brightened it up. I loved the street taco sized tortillas that were served with it. They gave me a stack of eight. Becky chose the Birria Nachos. $16 Shredded beef, chips, nacho cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, jalapenos, guacamole. Another huge portion that she could not possibly finish. She ate what she could, then saved all of the leftover beef and toppings. She tossed the remaining soggy chips. With the leftovers we made tacos. We also made nachos with our own chips. With the rest I made a shredded beef chili. 32 bucks, but we got about 12 meals out of it. Service at the store was quick and friendly. I grabbed a Pacifico to drink while I waited and had to chug it LOL! My food was already prepared and waiting for pick up. Well inside of the estimated 10 minute ETA. read more

My husband really liked the beef tacos. Tortillas good and plenty of filling. I got the shrimp quesadilla--it was huge! Lots of good shrimp and a nice fresh pico. It was a little oily but I think that is just the cheese melting. It was very good but be prepared to split it as it was way too much to eat at once. Staff super friendly and lots of places to sit. Bright, clean and airy. A good place to eat. read more

Since a friend lives near this restaurant, I figured I'd come down early specifically to try their chilaquiles since I had a craving for it. And since they're known for their birria, I figured it'd be perfect to get it with it. I got there just after they opened - the service was friendly and the food came out quickly and hot. It was delicious - great portion (especially for the price). The salsa was fantastic, and even though they had a salsa bar there, I didn't really need to add any. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the birria was on point too - juicy and flavorful - I haven't been able to stop thinking about it and can't wait to go back and try something else off the menu. I've had chilaquiles at several places around San Diego, but theirs are my new favorite - very much worth checking out! read more

Yo - we moved here two years ago...Why did it take me so long to try Mr. Birria??? This place is awesome. It's a casual place that focuses on providing you with the best Birria you've ever had. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. The service was quick and friendly. Okay, on to the FOOD - we tried a lot of stuff: the Birria Trio, the adobada taco, carne asada quesa taco, frijoles. Every single thing was delicious - - I mean, make you go "MMMMMMM!" after every single bite good. The birria quesa taco and the carne asada tacos were my absolute favorites. The birria consume is out of this world. I could have eaten 5 gallons of it. I can't wait to go back there soon. read more

After looking for a good birria spot in all the wrong places, I finally found Mr. Birria. This place has delicious birria, birria ramen and quesabirrias. They have a good variety in their menu, unlike your average birria spot that only serves birria. Agua Frescas taste great. Service was excellent. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Great for family dinners. Highly recommend. read more

Really good stuff. We had the birria tacos, grilled cheese and ramen. Highly recommend this place

This was my favorite place to get Birria Ramen. I used to go once a week at least and tell everyone about it. The first few months were amazing!! The Birria Ramen was delicious and brimming with juicy meat and worth every penny. The last few times I went however, I noticed they were starting to give smaller portions, but I stuck with them and still chose to eat there over other options. But after my most recent visit I left extremely disappointed and saddened that my favorite place is not an option anymore. I seriously couldn't even find any chunks of meat in my Ramen bowl. Instead I found two small chunks of gummy, fat and nothing but noodles for actually more money than the first time I ate there. Seriously, If I wanted to eat cheap "Top Ramen" I could have went to dollar tree! read more

Summary: Yes Yes Yes I'd come back for more. FOOD: it is only my third time eating birria, but I love every try ingredient we ordered: birria burrito, birria tacos, queso tacos, and the special (noodles with lots of soup) Birria Tacos - Meat was tender and juicy, no fatty parts or Sauce is not salty. Though I prefer my tacos to be a little burnt and crunchy, these tacos were good. But I think adding salsa to the tacos made it better; I think it ties all the flavors together. Portion is good enough, I've seen more. The soup - goooood portion. But the Asian in me wants more of that noodles. The noodles are like the noodles you get when getting food from a Korean budajigae. The soup is better with the provided cilantro and onions. I just have one beef about this soup: the veggies are not fresh. You can tell the onions are old, and the lemons too. Because of this, it ruined the taste of the soup. Birria Burrito - this is huge! You will have extra for your next meal. Good meat, sauce just right. PARKING: lots and it's free SERVICE: Good. Polite and friendly folks. Though tables were not cleaned. You can tell the tables were cleaned by the previous customer who sat on those tables. I went to three tables, and I wiped all three. Note though, they won't check on you, it's not that kind of restaurant. SPACE: Enough, about 10 tables? Relaxed very casual vibe. No need to bring your fancy clothes or bring them if that's what your vibe. read more

Excellent tacos and torta very quick to arrive. Always a good good go to for great food !

ALWAYS ! Great staff with even better birria! Salsas are the bomb! The new remodel gives this place an entirely new feel and is very warm and inviting read more

My favorite tacos! Love this place and their service, especially the fish tacos on Mondays.

We find ourselves at Mr. Birria at least once a month, and it never disappoints! The food is incredible, and the staff is always nice and respectful. We feel so welcomed every time we visit. There hasn't been a single dish I haven't enjoyed! Their new potato bowl is a must-try, packed with flavor and just the right amount of crunch. Plus, the dining area has been newly remodeled, making it an even more inviting spot for a casual sit-down meal or for takeout when you're craving something delicious. If you haven't tried their food yet, you're missing out--you'll wonder why you waited so long. Let's support our local businesses! read more

It's been a few months since I last went here, I did enjoy the birra, it was very much what I expected. My family and I enjoyed the different ways it was served. We ordered some Birra nachos, Orden and the Trio Combo (1 Birria Taco, 1 Mulita, 1 Quesa Taco, 6oz consome). We did Not like the salsa since it was more heat than flavor, I love a good spicy salsa with lots of flavor- but I honestly can't stand a hot salsa for no good reason. I also wasn't into the consume they do it was too oily for us and unfortunately the chips we got were old. They do have good birra and I really enjoyed the different ways of eating it. I would go there again for the plain birra (Orden), birra tacos, mulita, and the quesa tacos, those were yummy. read more

Ordered this from DoorDash. Not only does it not have flavor it's pure mush. I wouldn't be upset if it was juice but it just like water. The cheese take old and nasty, the guacamole take old and store bought. Not worth the money or time. I usually go next door. I'll be sticking with them. read more

Love Mr. Birria, have tried a lot of places but always keep coming back here since no one can top their quesabirria tacos and ramen birria (both in price + flavor!). This time I got their birria nachos, also amazing. I also got their taco box before but it was ok. Their star is obviously in their namesake, birria. Worth the drive out here always. They recently expanded to the space next to them with more seating and salsa and lime bar! Ok amount of parking read more

Mr. Birria doesn't mess around with their portion sizes. A quesadilla is meant for 2 or 3 people. A giant pile of tender beef, marinated in juicy broth, surrounded by melted cheese. Do you like hot sauce? Cool because theirs is SO SPICY.. its amazing. While I was really full after my half of the dish, I didn't feel gut-wrenched or miserable. I don't think I can handle eating here daily, unless I'm planning to win a eating contest.. but I'll definitely be back! read more

Absolutely Incredible! We stopped in at Mr. Birria and I ordered the Surf & Turf Burrito while Brie went for the Surf & Turf Potato with birria. WOW! both were next-level! The burrito was loaded with tender, flavorful meat, perfectly cooked shrimp, and just the right touch of spice. The potato was pure comfort food heaven, hearty, savory, and packed with melt-in-your-mouth birria. Hands down, this is the best meal I've had in San Diego in a long time. The quality, the flavors, and the generous portions are unmatched. This place is worth every bite, make your way out to Santee, you will not be disappointed! read more

I've been here many times for pick up. The birria ramen is perfect for cold rainy days. Lots of flavor and we just love ramen. We mostly got for the shrimp ceviche. I usually make my own but when I get lazy and want it quick I'll go here on a Friday or Saturday, they only make it on weekends. read more

When the weather is cold outside and you want something warm and tasty in your belly....look no further, Mr. Birria is the place to go. Flavor town in full force with the Beef Birria . The trio combo is probably one of the best for first timers. Everything paired well with Jarritos Grapefruit. Service was fast, food came out at decent time and everything was piping hot. You can bet that I'll be returning to this place. read more

It seems like they are strictly operating out of their food truck in the parking lot right now as the inside of their store front looked to be under construction. There weren't any tables or chairs set up outside so we had to take our order to go. We ordered birria ramen, birria crispy tacos, and a surf and turf burrito. All of these got soggy by the time we got home, especially the burrito that needed to be eaten with a knife and fork. The outside tortilla needed to be crisp more to prevent it from getting soggy. My husband thought this was just ok, and reminded him of a tex-mex burrito. Despite the ramen being overcooked due to the long drive home and the now soft tacos, the flavor was excellent. The consome was rich and hearty, and the meat was tender and succulent. Portion was also big. The tacos tasted great after a few minutes in the oven. There was no saving the soggy noodles though. Definitely ask for the noodles separate if you won't enjoy them right away. The salsas were good and really spicy, even the green one. Plenty of radish and limes were given. Their menu with prices are online. read more

We just tried Mr. Birria based on good reviews, and wow am I disappointed. The Quesadilla was soggy and swimming in grease. The carne asada tasted weird and the "guacamole" was some thin, green sauce, but absolutely not guac. The Birria Ramen noodles were completely crunchy, even after 15 mins of delivery time. I threw my burrito away. It was that bad. I have no idea how this place has good reviews. Its terrible. read more

Birria tacos were flavorful and filling! Definitely would get the tacos extra crispy next time so they aren't soggy by the time we bring the food home. read more

Second time here for me, I love their birria! Today we had a birria quesadilla- HUGE! Birria tacos- excellent portion size and nice fresh crisp onions and cilantro And birra ramen- again huge portion! They expanded their space which makes for great seating but not much personality, overall, definitely worth the stop! read more

Food is great! Love Birria! Ambience is whatever. Nothing special. Service is not good. Workers gossip amongst themselves and stare at you while you eat. Tip: Get the food to go! Don't stay or linger there. Yikes! read more

I've been to this place a few times and I used to love it. Sadly to say, a few days ago when I was there, I saw the cashier go into the bathroom with a rag, cleaned the bathroom, come out and touch the food. I was so grossed out! Plus, the place is a bit filthy in general. I will NOT be going back for sure. Pay attention next time you're there. That's how diseases spread. I will be reporting this place to the FDA. That is very unsanitary. read more

Enjoyed a Governador Taco today, which had ample nicely charred shrimp and plenty of melted mozzarella. Chopped onion, peppers and a squeeze of lime ‍ completed the flavor of this taco. They give two, well oiled tortillas for the base so I had the skillfully slide out the bottom shell and place it on paper towels and transfer the ingredients onto that tortilla... From there I was good to go. One comment is that I asked for sour cream they only had a very large side for over $3 which I could have bought a giant 1 lb tub of at the grocery store. I hope they think about selling a side of sour cream for maybe a buck 50. I mean it's only a condiment. Their salsa bar is well stocked with a chili oil, salsa verde and a red salsa, jalapenos limes, etc. Overall this was an excellent flavorful taco. The ingredients were also generous and I would definitely go back for another. Cheers! Four stars! Suggestions: lower the BRIGHT lights. Lower the LOUD music. Buffer the sound with some plants?! The place looks great! Congratulations! Mr. Birria read more

This place is definitely going down as one of the of my favorite places for Birria. I ordered the nachos and was very satisfied with my order, what surprised me most was the amount of birria in this plate. They DEFINITELY did not hold back. Flavor was great, and loved the chili oil provided (might have to ask for an extra one or two next time. The salsas were also tasty and had a nice little kick to them. My friends ordered the Ramen and really enjoyed it, so I'll have to try that next! As for the location, it's a modest little restaurant in a somewhat order shopping strip. There's only a couple tables and it's more of a "fast food" dining experience. So keep all of that in mind. That being said, the cashiers were friendly and helpful with suggestions. And you could tell they were attentive with getting orders sent to the kitchen; they quickly returned to the register when customers walked in. Their drinks are bottled or canned, with the except of some of the classics, like horchata. Clearly, I was very satisfied my first time in. I'll be returning and give an update when I do. read more

Extremely juicy birria! We got the trio combo which consisted of the birria taco, quesa taco, a mulita, and the consomme. The meat was really tender and soft. Everything was delicious with our favorite being the mulita. The items are given in a takeout container even though we ate in. It might be because everything was a bit messy. They do give paper towels to help but beware of the juices coming out of the taco. The difference between the birria taco and the quesa taco is that the birria taco comes with beans and the quesa taco comes with cheese and is supposed to be crispy. It was hard to tell if it was crispy since the items were kinda of piled on top of each other and the juices leaked. The consomme broth was super flavorful and made for a nice addition to the already tasty tacos. I would definitely come here again but be mindful of the mess. read more

My curiosity was piqued when a post for their chilaquiles burrito crossed my feed. I promised myself that the next time I was out Mission Gorge way I check Mr. Birria out. Today was the day. I ordered that chilaquiles burrito and for hubby the omelet with birria and a cabeza taco. I also ordered the cucumber lemon drink. Service was good, the asked me to review my order before completing and they were friendly. The interior is not fancy, but doesn't need to be, it's spacious and clean. On to the food. The burrito was awesome, great flavor and filling, hubby had the omelet and really enjoyed it. The star for us was the Cabeza, wow not usually a fav of mine, but theirs was amazing, really, really good. The cucumber lemon drink should not be missed, not to sweet and very refreshing. Definitely coming back, so much more I want to try. read more

Love this place! The birria and the aguas frescas are so good! The trio is a good choice, especially for a first visit. Mulitas, consomé, a side of beans, and a mango agua fresca are my go-to.
