I’m from Utah and was looking for some good Mexican food and saw this place had great reviews. It lives up to the hype! Came here for the first time and had a great experience. Staff was so present and knowledgeable. I ordered the birria tacos without cheese, and a side of rice and beans. Price is reasonable and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. Highly reccomend for a quick and affordable bite to eat!! Enjoy

If you want great tasting tacos with perfect tortilla chips. This is the place. Price is similar to the area as well. If you’re more like me and you know what Birria tacos taste like, this isn’t the choice for you. The flavor is good but the spice is completely lacking. They also charge for the consome so that alone feels very wrong. I wouldn’t come back myself but I would 100% recommend to my American friends looking for good flavor and a great atmosphere.

The sides were elite — pickled red onions, fresh lime wedges, cilantro, and a clean presentation. But what really took it over the top was the taco itself. The crust had that perfect balance: crispy enough to give a satisfying crunch but still soft enough to bite clean through without everything exploding out the back.
The birria was juicy as hell, maybe even a little too juicy — but in the best way. The salsa bar? Absolute game-changer. Next level flavor and variety, no weak links there.
And honestly, mad respect for only offering one type of meat. That kind of focus usually means they’ve dialed it in, and they have. Every bite felt intentional. Top-tier taco experience.

Mike’s Red Hot Tacos is the real deal!
I stopped by on a recommendation and this place absolutely delivered. The tacos are packed with flavor, super fresh, and have the perfect kick without being overpowering. You can tell everything is made with care — from the tortillas to the salsas. The staff is friendly, fast, and makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Prices are solid for the quality you get, and the portions definitely hit the spot.
If you’re in San Diego and craving tacos, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Nope! Don’t do it!
We were looking for tacos, El Gordo, but unfortunately, the parking situation there was difficult. We decided to drive over to Mike’s red tacos. Two tacos and a side of chips $14.99!. My friend and I decided to split an order of nachos and two tacos plate. It was $33! We did not order drinks, but of course there’s the option to leave a tip.
The consóme was bland and tasted manufactured/from a can. The food was not horrible, but I expected better.
Since I’ve never been here before, I went ahead and left a four dollar tip, thinking that they were gonna bring the food to our table and pick up our tray as well. This is not the case! We had to pick up our food after our number was called, serve our own salsa, and pick up our own tray. No, I don’t mind doing any of this, but of course food was mediocre at best. The service was blah.

Some of the best “chain” tacos you’ll find. The flavor is solid, portions are generous, and they hit the spot when you’re craving tacos without overthinking it. Service is quick and consistent, making it an easy go-to when you want something reliable and tasty. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area and craving casual tacos that punch above typical chain quality.

The BEST birria tacos! And this is coming from a Mexican who grew up on my mother’s homemade birria. We drive out from east county to get these tacos. The meat and consume have amazing flavor. The queso dip and guacamole are great add ons for your side of chips. Their churros are delicious. Excited for more locations to open.

It’s really hard for me to give five stars to any place. Not that I am very critical, I just think that you really got to be spot on to get five stars.
Now I’m going to be brutally honest
I have never had such a greasy taco that made me roll my eyes back in my head takinge to Taco Nirvana. Living here in San Diego I have definitely had my share of tacos. This isn’t your typical Taco if you’re used to a Taco Bell taco, well get ready for some mind-blowing culinary divineness. If you’re looking for a street taco, these are not what you expect. The birria taco is kind of a niche these days and I think it’s kind of like mole. In my experience you either have excellent mole or it’s disgusting. I have had some pretty bad birria tacos that have almost turned me off from even trying any other place. However, Mike’s has redeemed the birria taco. It is a little pricey for my wallet but I do appreciate that on Tuesdays you get a third Taco for free with the meal order. For me that’s just perfect. Just be prepared though as I mentioned earlier, these are messy tacos. But kind of like a premium Philly cheese steak sandwich, if it’s not messy, it’s not good.

Went there last week for dinner after work and it was a pretty solid experience overall. The place has a relaxed vibe, not too loud, and the staff was friendly without hovering too much. I ordered tacos and a side of rice and beans. The flavors were good, especially the salsa, though one taco came out a little less warm than expected. Portions felt fair for the price. Drinks were decent and came out quick. It’s not trying to be fancy, just a comfortable spot to eat and unwind.
