This has got to be my favorite Mexican place in San Diego. Oof their Birria de chivo is and their pozole is amazing! I ate this last weekend and am craving it since then. Their salsa is so unique – very spicy yet flavorful. I am definitely gonna come back!

My wife and I visited Birrieria Don Rafa on Sunday 1/14/2018. Both of us have been here before but this time around we ordered something different. My wife ordered menudo and I ordered carne en su jugo. My wife said that her menudo was excellent and very tasty. My carne en su jugo was good too but a little bit salty. Put a little bit less salt and it will be perfect. Service was great. The menudo plate was huge !!

My family and I ate here. Service was good. It was awkward to order before being sat at our table. We had never felt rushed to order at a dine in restaurant before. I got the quesa birria tacos and wife got chilaquiles, kids just got bacon and eggs. The chilaquiles and 3 quesabirria tacos came out first. Took 10 minutes from that point to get my kids eggs. I believe they forgot but failed to apologize or even address the fact that eggs were delayed. We got there right at open and restaurant was already hot. No air flow or AC. Our total for 4 drinks, chilaquiles, 3 birria tacos, 2 orders of eggs with bacon was $70+. Food was good. Host was friendly. But won’t be coming back.

We tried the Menudo Rojo with hominy, and the Quesadilla Ahogada de Chivo(goat). The Menudo was good with lots of hominy and came with corn tortillas. The Ahogado was very good, but not as large as expected. The goat meat was lean, tender, tasty, and not gamey at all. The birria broth was very good.

$12.75 for 1 taco. Not sides. No consome. Just the taco itself we are talking medium size taco. On a small plate. Ridiculous. Also they make you order at the door before they seat you.

Delicious Birria, great for breakfast. It’s a family ran business. One of those family spots that really care about their customers. I normally go on weekends with the occasional visit during the week and I am always satisfied. Side note: if you cant handle hot sauce, dont try their home made style salsa. Its spicy. However, its spicy but has great flavor. So I encourage you to try it and add fire to your food as you see fit. Every time you sit down here to eat you will get fresh cilantro, diced onions, lemons, and salsa to eat with your birria. They have oregano as well and various drinks as well as a few selections of beers.
