Mike's Red Tacos

Mike's Red Tacos is a San Diego Mexican restaurant with a story rooted in a year-long obsession with birria, the classic slow-simmered Mexican stew that launched a beloved food truck turned brick-and-mortar. Located at 4310 Genesee Ave, the spot has grown to include a roomy, sunlit corner dining area with semi-booth seating and an expanded salsa bar. The menu spans birria tacos, quesadillas, crunchwraps, breakfast burritos, and combo plates, all highly customizable to your liking. Guests rave about the crispy tortillas, juicy braised meat, and the standout jalapeño salsa at the salsa station. The casual setting suits everything from quick solo lunches to relaxed group hangouts and date nights.
