Reviews
Price per person: …
The “Birria Tacos” here are pretty good due to the birria, which has a robust home-cooked quality, while being less garlicky and less insinuating than the beef birrias I’ve had in Tijuana, San Diego, and Los Angeles. Aside from being a touch more piquant than I’ve come to expect, this is a straightforward birria without a lot of nuance, which will likely ensure its acceptance by most people who try it. The tacos are sauced with a fresh salsa roja during the taco assembly. Chopped onions and cilantro are added assuming you don’t refuse them.
You can ask for the birria tacos to be made as “Quesatacos,” essentially birria in tortillas with melted cheese. I was not a fan of the cheese used here, which I found to be a bit too funky. I’m accustomed to a milder cheese in these types of tacos. Let the flavor of the birria dominate the taco, not the cheese. I advise readers to stick to the regular tacos for this reason.
A savory “Consommé” (made from the strained beef birria broth) is provided for free with your order of tacos. It takes well to lots of freshly-squeezed lime wedges, and can be eaten like a soup, as well as used to dip the birria tacos into. If you take away nothing else from my reviews of birria taco joints, remember to ALWAYS ask for the consommé.
This is a relatively new restaurant. The owner was friendly and told me business has been good, which was not surprising to me given the quality of the Birria Tacos; he’s open everyday except when he’s catering on Saturdays. La Birrieria Red Tacos was moderately busy with locals at around 2pm on a Tuesday. This is a taco shop that ought to be visited if you’re doing a taco run (as I was) through Imperial Valley and definitely should be on your radar if you live here.
