Birrieria Y Menuderia Guadalajara, nestled conveniently at 396 Broadway in Chula Vista, CA, stands as a vibrant celebration of authentic Mexican flavors, specializing in the rich and hearty cuisine of Guadalajara. This Mexican restaurant is a true haven for aficionados of traditional dishes, offering an exceptional menu that showcases a wide array of beloved staples such as Tortillas made fresh by hand, Pozole, Carnitas, and their signature Birria De Res and Birria Tatemada De Chivo.

Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a warm and lively atmosphere where the tantalizing aroma of simmering broths and roasted meats fills the air, inviting you into an immersive culinary experience. The kitchen treats each dish as a work of art—each bite bursts with vibrant, deep flavors that honor generations of Mexican home cooking. The birria here is a must-try: the Birria De Chivo Tatemada features seared goat meat served with a side of silky, flavorful consomé and accompanied by soft, handmade corn tortillas. For those seeking a perfect balance between texture and richness, the “Solo Maciza” (solid meat) option elevates the experience, ensuring every morsel is pure, tender meat infused with smoky notes.

Another standout is the Menudo—a traditional tripe soup offered in both red and white (blanco) versions—that has earned stunning praise from regulars. According to one enthusiastic diner, this menudo is the best in the Greater San Diego area, expertly prepared with a perfect meat-to-soup ratio and crafted without any off-putting funk. Served alongside bone and tendon, the Menudo here is thoughtfully seasoned to highlight pure, comforting flavors without overwhelming saltiness or grease.

Beyond hearty soups, the menu tempts with delights like Tacos Doraditos Birria de Res con Tuétanos, where crispy, golden tacos are elegantly filled with birria and topped with indulgent bone marrow, delivering a symphony of textures and meaty depth. The Quesadilla Tonala and side of rich Frijoles round out the meal, offering a satisfying balance of cheesy warmth and earthy beans. For refreshing contrast, consider pairing your feast with a Michelada or savor the simple perfection of their Clásico Café Americano.
