Mike's Red Tacos - Point Loma

I saw this place had high reviews and it did not disappoint. Truly a great experience with fast service and a wonderful atmosphere you can’t go wrong. But you come for the food and it’s top tier. Some of the best tacos and burritos my friends and I had. This is a must visit.

Mike’s Red Tacos brings delicious, slow-simmered birria to San Diego via two bustling shops. THE FOOD & THE STORY For those new to the style, "Birria" is beef slow-cooked with chiles and spices until it is incredibly tender. • The "Red" Taco Shell: The kitchen takes the top layer of seasoned fat from the juices in the pot and uses it to fry the taco shell, which gives the signature red/orange color and crispy texture. • The Dip: The remainder of the rich juices are served as a cup of consomé, which ends up being a savory dip for every bite of the tacos. THE MEAL Mike’s Meal ($14.99) is a fantastic value. 🌮 🌮 It comes with two Red Tacos loaded with melted cheese and tender beef. 🫜🧅 The plate is bright and fresh, accompanied by sliced radishes and onions, pickled onions, lime, cilantro, and salsa. The fresh, house-made chips were a great crunch to round out the tray. OVERALL An outstanding bite of comfort food for the soul. Whether you are a birria expert or a first-timer, this is the place to go.

Excellent birria tacos, we got the Mike's meal, 2 tacos with chips. Delicious. Kiddo got the burrito, that was also large and filling, and delicious. Tried a few of the salsa, the orange salsa packs a punch for sure. Wish we had these kind of tacos back home.
