Mike's Red Tacos

Service was great. It was my first time there and Emily was my server and answered all of my questions, the wait wasn't as long as I thought it would be and it tasted delicious. I definitely recommend this place

This place was SO good! They have seats both inside and outside, in a very calm area surrounded by other shops and restaurants. We ordered a Red burrito, a quesadilla, and the taco combo. It was taco Tuesday so we got three tacos instead of two! They were so tasty, incredible. Loved dipping them in the birria sauce :) Service was fast and clean. No complaints.

The restaurant was on the smaller side but that's okay, huge parking lot so it evens out! Very clean, the salsa bar was completely spotless which is always a nightmare when it comes to Tacos.Overall the birria was bomb and the burritos are HUGE! Definitely worth the stop, I also ordered the loaded churro bites (not pictured) but they were delicious.The cashier was very patient with our party so we greatly appreciate that & the food was quick. ** Not sure if they offer military discount**

I've always seen Mike's Red Tacos from the main road but never tried it till today. Honestly was really good! I had no prior expectations but, MRT really exceeded it for sure. Menu was simple but quality over quantity proved itself once again. The lady at the cashier recommended the Combo #1 with cheese and so I took on her recommendation. Flavor was packing with every bite. So content with my meal, so full, yet still thinking about how good the birria was.... Wild LOLANWAYS, Customer service was on point. The salsa bar needed replenishing and utensils. A gentleman in the store brought it to the cashier's attention and no less than 30 seconds later, a lady was over at the salsa bar getting everything replaced. Shop had a lot of customers but kitchen got orders out fast and front of house kept the salsa bar and tables spotless. Definitely coming back here. And highly recommended.Overall rating:Food: 10/10Service: 10/10Menu: 10/10Restaurant Vibes: 10/10Price to Overall Dining (POD): 10/10

This place was on top of my list to check out because the reviews. And overall, it's pretty good, but it's not great. I went here on a Thursday afternoon with a few friends. We entered and the restaurant was pretty empty. We were immediately greeted by the staff, and asked to order. It's a very limited menu, so if you don't want a burrito or tacos, this really isn't your place. We ended up each ordering a two taco Birria with cheese combo. My buddy ordered rice and beans as sides, and I got a side of guacamole.When I got the tacos, I was extremely excited. When I took my first by without adding anything on it, I realize the meat was very under seasoned. Even after I dunked it in the consome, it's still lacked flavor. Thankfully all of the salsas at the salsa bar helped with this. I tasted every salsa, and really couldn't find a bad salsa. But my biggest disappointment was that the meat didn't taste good on its own. Good food doesn't need to hide behind other flavors. The beans and the rice we're pretty tasty. The beans had a nice creamy flavored to them, and the rice was not overcooked, but fluffy and soft. The guacamole was lackluster. It honestly tasted more as though someone just mashed a bunch of avocados and called it guacamole. No salt, no flavor, and just bland. All things considered, this place is OK. If I'm in the area, I may stop by, but there are just too many tastier choices to make this place a regular location for me.

Yesterday, my family and I were on our way to the Sephora nearby and happened to see MRT. Mexican food is our favorite, so we made a commitment to try this place. I got the 2 birria tacos, my wife the bean had cheese burrito, and the kids got two cheese quesadillas. The beans were delicious and the cheese is melty and tasty. My birria tacos were amazing. Not a lot of places serve good meat like this, but MRT is a hidden gem.The service was great, too. I was able to order online and my order was ready faster than I expected. I found parking easy and it took two seconds to get my food. It's a five-star place and the value is hard to beat! The salsa was really good. Not as spicy as I'm used to, but I lapped it up nevertheless. The food is FRESH which is their secret. I recommend this place!

Tried this gem near my house for the first time and am so excited to have a reliable taco spot that is delicious and well-packaged! I got the Combo #2 (2 birria tacos without cheese), which comes with a soup, toppings for your tacos, and tortilla chips. You get a third birria taco on Taco Tuesday too!! I was surprised they fry their tortillas, but it wasn't greasy. Good texture but def needs to be eaten ASAP.Service was quick on a Tuesday during the lunch rush with barely anywhere to sit. There is communal outdoor seating in the plaza which was perfect for us since they text you when your food is ready. The combos were well priced, given the generous toppings and so neatly organized around the soup, which I didn't quite care for (tasted like chili broth).What I love about this place especially is their kickass salsa bar. I love the variety of spice levels and flavors (the chunky salsa ended up being my favorite flavor-wise even though I'm a sucker for spice). Will definitely return!

Food (5/5 stars):Mike's Red Tacos is on Yelp's Top 100 Places in the US list and I was thrilled to try it, especially because Birria is one of my favorite foods. Their Combo #1 came with two hefty Quesabirria Tacos, Consomé, and Chips. Each bite (dunked into the Consomé of course) was heavenly. The tacos were oozing with juice and together with the Consomé was a symphony of flavors. This is one of my new favorite places in San Diego, and quite possibly of all time. Experience (5/5 stars):* Price: reasonable* Wait Time: about 10-15 minute wait on a Friday evening, but so worth it* Service: good* Parking: there's a small parking lot* Ambiance: it's a nicely decorated spot, just a bit tight especially for how popular it is.

Absolutely amazing food, service is fast, easy, and simple. I'm a California resident born and raised in the central valley and by far these are the best tacos me and my girlfriend have tried. I recommend a combo # 1 with the salsa called (spicy AF).

Bomb AF!! Everything on the menu is worth getting .. even better they opened up a second location
