Ed Fernandez Restaurant Birrieria

Best Mexican Food in San Diego | Condé Nast Traveler

"There's much to choose from at Fernandez Restaurant. You may get some tacos and mulitas as appetizers, including the crowd-favorite Quesotaco Extremo—a housemade tortilla fried, packed with cheese and velvety beef, and splashed with their famous birria broth. But the reason people start lining up here as early as 9 a.m. is for the birria, made with luscious, slow-cooked meat that, on Fridays, can be accented with lengua, or beef tongue. There are a handful of birria spots nearby, but none have the same warm, enveloping, ultra-homemade taste." - Archana Ram
