Score 91/100 · Order: Barbacoa de borrego tacos with consomé · $4–6 per taco
This is birria's older, more serious cousin: whole lamb steamed over agave leaves, served with a rich broth. Nothing else in San Diego tastes like it.
Local tip: Get the consomé with garbanzos — it's a meal on its own.
Score 91/100 · Order: Barbacoa de borrego with consomé · $ ($15–25 per person)
Whole-lamb barbacoa cooked in maguey leaves, served in a strip-mall dining room. It is a South Bay institution for good reason.
Local tip: Go for lunch on a weekend when the barbacoa is freshest, and get extra consomé.
