Best Quesabirria Tacos at Restaurants and Taco Trucks in Oakland, SF, Richmond, and the Bay Area | Eater SF

"Maybe the newest contender in the East Bay quesabirria wars, this Hayward newcomer specializes in “MexiTerranean” food, which means you can order a gyro plate in addition to your extra-cheesy quesabirria and your birria ramen. It’s a takeout counter adjacent to a gas station convenience store, so don’t expect any frills." - Luke Tsai

Habibi's Birria is small local chain dishing out fusion "HALAL MexiTerranean Food" which would translate to Mexican and Mediterranean food. As of this review they have 3 locations scattered around the Bay Area according to their IG account: @habibis_birria #MexiTerranean: ~ Torta de Birria - 4.5/5 An excellent Birria Torta. Everything you'd imagine a Birria Torta to be... My only issue is the tiny size... Inflation perhaps. The Totra is one of the smallest Tortas I had...looks like a small sando. ~ Birria Taco COMBO - 4/5 Good solid Birria Tacos, a tad on the pricier side considering the size. ~ Birria Ramen Soup - 4.5/5 Hot ! Hot! Hot! Make sure you wait a hot minute till this cools down before digging into it. Tasty, large...most definitely on the salty side...but delish none the less. Interesting concept. I think it works fairly well. All the dishes we ordered were tasty. There is a decent amount of seating inside. Place your order at the counter and find a seat. Parking is a different story; street parking is the only option, as there is no dedicated parking lot. This could be a challenging issue during peak times. I'll definitely stop by if I'm in the neighborhood.

Delicious and one of a kind fusion. Definitely, I will come back and try all their menu.

Very tasty spot we happened across on the way back from the Oakland Zoo. We felt it was a little pricey, but the food was delicious and plentiful, and the variety and vegetarian options were much appreciated! My wife ordered the falafel wrap with fries which was quite tasty, and I got the asada tacos with rice and beans, which was also wonderful. The waiter was also very friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed the experience! Very glad we decided to stop in

I finally got to try this place after having it on my foodie bucket list for a while and it did not disappoint! The service was great, and the food came out quickly. The quality of the meat was top-notch, and it’s halal, which is definitely a plus. I highly recommend the Burrito Supreme with chicken, the birria, and the quesabirria tacos, they were all amazing! I’ll definitely be coming back!

I found this spot by chance. I just so happen to be walking in the area, and stopped in. I order a burrito and a quesadilla. Also grabbed a taco on the special. I love the food, and visit many times since. When you walk in, you can smell the food and its mouthwatering. Also a very quaint ice cream shop next door.

A+. Interesting menu mix. We started with the tacos and will need to make a return trip for several other items. They don’t cheat you on the portions. It is great to have great food choices within walking distance.

Their food is so good, I crave their food. I like to get there goat birria or beef birria. The chips and salsa were so good today, The chips were just cooked so they were hot. Here is a picture of what i got today for lunch, beef birria burrito supreme, consume, chips and salsa it was delicious!!

We love this place! We pass by it all the time. A friend said it's her favorite place so we tried it during taco Tuesday! Birria is so good but our favorite was the asada! Full of flavor, thick chunks. Burrito are delicious! Beans and rice were packed with flavor. We ordered and by the time we drove in, order was ready- fresh and hot. Quick service & great customer service! Restaurants was clean and welcoming. Street parking. We will be back! And will recommend to others!

I've seen this pop up on social media quite often so have been wanting to try it and finally made it in. I'll start by saying this is probably not the most fair review of a place that has birria in it's name, since im a vegetarian, hah! But I did come with someone who tried the birria tacos...so take that for what its worth. Falafel wrap - the wrap was underwhelming. I didnt take the best picture but the filing in the wrap wasn't very satisfying. Have definitely had better. Wouldn't order this again. Fries- again, underwhelming. Granted I ordered the meat on the side, so maybe it would have been better with the meat mixed in, but again vegetarian. Would skip this too. I'm just used to have more toppings on these kind of fries. And the cheese wasn't melted. Quesabirrias - the person who did eat the birria tacos enjoyed them. Gave them a 4/5. So order the birria! The salsas were super tasty. I loove salsa, so thats definitely a win for me. The green one is super flavorful and the orange one, a little spicier. But I could eat them at ever meal. Service You order at the front, as soon as you walk in. You can order at the register or at the kiosk. Was empty when we came in, so service was super quick. And staff was friendly. I would come back, and probably try the burrito though.

Okay it's about time i write a review for this spot!!! Been coming here for some time now and have tried a lot of the food but the beef pastor burrito takes it home for me. Usually I get it with fries inside (i'll ask and they'll charge me) so i hope they can add that option to their doordash order page The service is really great! Will def be back for more

I used to love Habibis Birria when they were located inside a gas station on Jackson-it was sooo convenient! But I honestly havent been to any other since they closed down and the other one in Hayward closes so early :( Sooo with that said, it's been years since I've had Habibis Birria but decided we were craving quesabirrias this weekend and convinced my husband we gotta do Habibis. One bite in and I am so mad at myself for having gone this long! The birria is sooo flavorful and perfect textured with perfect amount of filling and cheese. I actually don't need salsa with these, but their salsas are really good anyways. The consomme here is perfect as well-sooo flavorful and the perfect color/texture!

This place joins two things that I love: authentic Mexican food and Mediterranean food. The service is fairly quick for the sit down options, but you can choose to order ahead of time. I like going to the ice cream place next door to top off with something sweet when I can. Parking is pretty easy on the side street.

This review is long overdue! We live in San Pablo and would travel here every time we are craving quesabirrias! We first heard about Habibi's when it was located in a gas station during COVID. We never got the chance to try them back then, but I'm glad they were doing well enough to open two brick and mortors! During our first visit, we dined in. The place is spacious and clean. The employee who was present, I assume is the owner or manager (we've seen him there every time we come by), was very friendly! They offer complimentary chips and salsa when dining in, which we appreciated. The main reason why we like coming here is because they offer quesatacos, which can be made with different protein, besides birria. My boyfriend cannot eat beef due to religious reasons and it's hard finding a place that offers quesatacos on the menu. The quesabirrias are also very filling and come as a 3pc combo, which includes consome! They're both delicious!

3.5 stars Mexi-Terranean is an unexpected fusion of Mexican and Mediterranean cuisines, and you'll find both types of dishes at Habibi's Birria! I started with a birria taco, made of shredded braised beef served on two grilled corn tortillas, topped with onions and cilantro, and served with sliced radish, lime, and two salsas. On the Mediterranean side of the menu, the Veggie Plate came with four different mezzes including three crispy falafels, creamy baba ghanoush, a salty yogurt cucumber salad, and a very sour tabbouleh (chopped parsley, tomatoes, onions). Interestingly, the mezzes had a stronger flavor profile than more traditional versions, but everything went nicely with the familiar warm, thin, chewy pita bread on the side. Overall, the quality, freshness, and flavors of the food here were just average, but the prices were reasonable and the service was quick and friendly.

Our first visit was a 5 star experience with goat birria plate, birria plate, and the chicken and shrimp taco Tuesday special. Everything was on point that we came back for takeout just a few weeks later. The goat birria was still delicious and the birria tacos were great but the shrimp in the Taco Tuesday taco was so tiny (1/5 of the size of the orignial) that it reminded me more of shrimp salad sized shrimps. Our third visit, we were told after we ordered that they were out of the goat birria so we tried the Mediterranean side with the mix plate. Nice that their mediterranean side is as good as their Mexican side. Our most recent visit was more of a 3 star as we noticed that the offerings for Taco Tuesday no longer has the shrimp which given the size of them last time, probably for the best. Was disappointed that their goat birria is no longer offered daily, so we tried the birria ramen. Didn't realize the ramen was Tapacio ramen similar to Cup O Noodle so was thirsty all night. Over four visits, it's a bit of a hit or miss at this point so more of a 3 1/2 star overall now especially if the goat birria is not available daily now but bumping up to 4 since their employees are friendly.and their birria tacos are still worth coming in for.

We used to get this at the Hayward location, and this new spot is a little closer. Food is still amazing! I usually get the quesobirria combo which comes with 3 tacos and personally, it's too much food for me. Two tacos are perfect and 2.5 is max for me, but since 3 is how I get the consumme, the combo it is!! The shell is crispy and their hot sauce is HOT. Eating in when everything is still hot is the way to go. But it's still good if you need to take it to go. One of our regular spots! Service is always quick and they have always been so nice. The tables/chairs/floors etc are always kept very clean.

Supposedly birria is traditionally made with goat and this was the first time I've had it! All the places I've had birria were made with beef! 3 quesabirrias combo with goat and consome - really tasty with a satisfying amount of meat and cheese. Quesabirrias torta with beef and consome- tasty and messy as they should be. It's much smaller than tortas I'm used to but it was delicious. Note: The consomes for the beef torta had beef in it and goat birrira had goat in the consome. I made the mistake of assuming they were the same flavor and dipped the beef torta with the goat consome. It wasn't bad but I don't think it's meant to be mixed. I wouldn't mind coming back for a meal and having kulfi next door for dessert.

I use to give it a 5 star shrimp tacos always were excellent but these past 2 times I ordered here my tacos look sloppy not totally made and missing that good flavor to be fair the guy who usually does my orders was not there it was a younger guy. maybe he needs more experience but Im dissatisfy

Ok this place is my go to local taco spot! I love it here and I love many of their menu items which is nice so I can switch it up depending on my mood. The birria is fire so if you are a fan, definitely have that. I love the queso tacos and shrimp is my personal favorite but quesobirria combo is also a must. Their consome (AKA dipping sauce) is ridiculously tasty. Burritos are also insane and HUGE is you come with a big appetite. The restaurant itself always has a banging Spanish music playlist, some IG flair for photos and the social media enthusiasts. Overall, highly recommended for any taco lover like myself. GO NOW!

Quality/Quantity - Birria Burrito Supreme - My daughter's order and her favorite of the three entrees. #2 for me. Quesa Birria Tacos - My order, and my favorite. #2 for my daughter. Chicken Shawarma Wrap (D&W Meat) - My wife liked this, but both my daughter and I did not care for it. This is one of the items that got rung up incorrectly which the employee fixed immediately. Pistachio Baklava - We were charged $3.99 when the menu price read $3.11. It was good, a little too sweet for my wife. Small portion.Expensive for what little we got. Two table sauces were available, we only needed and used it for the shawarma. The shawarma was too "dry" for both my daughter and I. Non alcoholic drinks only, see picture. Thanks, as you are helping me cut back on my drinking, lol. Atmosphere - For a year old, the place still looks new, congrats. Small local restaurant, decent size, see pictures. Good simple decor, see pictures. Indoor/outdoor seating. Indoor had both table and booth seating. Street parking, but not an issue at all. 50% of your (few on a Monday) dined in and the other 50% took to-go. Two unisex clean bathrooms. Kitchen is semi-open, and also still looks new. Open 7 days a week from 11am or noon until 8pm or 9pm. See picture or Yelp. Service - Counter service. Service was excellent. The young employee did a good job. He was the greeter, cashier, and runner who brought our food to us. When my wife noticed the price mistake, he corrected it immediately. Too bad we did not notice the second price mistake until we left... Price - $51 + tip. We did not count this against the employee but the owner needs to check his POS system. Half of the stuff we ordered did NOT match the menu price?!?! And we only caught one of the mistakes. So the OWNER got a tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for the last year. Why is it that we are only hearing about you now?

Second time here and realized I didn't leave a review already. I ordered the regular burrito with birria and it hit the spot! My party also ordered the birria nachos and they were fresh and really tasty. There's surprisingly quite a bit of seating inside and service was relatively quick. The restaurant is pretty quiet, and is a good spot to come with family. There's street parking that's available but can get congested at times. The food is halal, which is great for those with dietary restrictions. I saw they had Mediterranean items on the menu as well, but for a place that has birria in the name, one would think that's their bread and butter. Try it out yourself!

The food here is hella good! I grew up eating Mexican food on Mission St in San Francisco before it got gentrified and since then I've had a really hard time finding good Mexican spots. Not gonna lie, I had doubts since it's not like a taqueria and its a Halal joint and honestly just went because it was Eid and my boyfriend is Muslim so though he would enjoy it more than me. But boy was I proven wrong.. I ordered the Birria since it's in the name and figured it was the most popular item and it was delicious. I usually hate the consume because it's heavy, fatty, and you just feel awful after having it but this one was delicious and light, I was able to drink it like its soup. I had a side of rice and beans which were also really good. My boyfriend had a chicken shawarma burrito and REALLY liked the chicken. He keeps talking about it and its been a whole week. The food is amazing, the only complaint I have is that you get your consume with a plastic spoon and I don't like having plastic in scolding hot foods with the chemicals in the plastic and stuff.. but other than that it was a very pleasant experience and would recommend especially to those who only eat Halal.. it can be very difficult to find good Mexican food.

Habibi's Birria is the TACO (talk of) the town! My friends and I SHELL-ebrated a mini hike with all this deliciousness. .:: FOOD ::. HALAL FOOD!! Birria Taco Combo $14.55: 3 tacos + consome. A little disappointed with the meat portion in the tacos, BUT overall flavors were great. I literally only had 2 pieces of meat in there. My friends probably had more meat portions than I did. Comes with onions, limes, mozarella cheese, cilantro and radish. Birria Ramen Soup $14.55: A warming meal good for the cold weather. Comes in a ramen bowl , good amount. Lots of birria pieces. We dipped the tacos and burger into this soup as well as the cosume soup which seems more savory and strong. The ramen noodles was not as salty which makes sense if you eat it with the ramen instead of dipping. Birria Burger $16.63: hefty amount of birria in the burger, filled with mozarella cheese. Amazing to dip in the ramen soup. We really did enjoy this, as this combo is not widely found. All these combos are very rare to find, mostly its just birria tacos so the ramen and burger were a delight .:: Service / Ambiance / Parking ::. This place use to just be at a gas station. This was an upgrade from their last place. Menu are on TV behind the cashier, order at the cashier. They bring to your table once its ready. The cashier was the cashier and the food runner, mad props. She was nice. The place is very simple, a couple orange booths , some without booths. Clean floors. Our table was not clean though when we sat down, my friend just grabbed paper towels from the restaurant to clean out table. Parking was easy as there were street parking.

My wife is not happy with the takeout order. She ordered burrito supreme and she did not get quacamole, sour cream, beans with her order. Overpaid for poor quality burrito. The customer service has gone down hill, too. We are not going back!!!

Habibis Birria was sooo good. I'd been wanting to come here for a while and finally got the chance to try! We shared the quesabirria taco combo and the birria nachos. The quesabirria was super filling and flavorful. A bit messy, but in a good way. The nachos were good as well, but would pass just for more birria tacos. This was also my first time trying birria and it was a great spot to be my first. Definitely will be back!

not bad! the portions are a good amount, and they don't skimp too much on the meat. the birria tacos were very dry, so the consume helped. but the consume itself didn't contain much flavor. the fries were very good!.. but the steak was insanely dry. we also ordered a horchata and it was superrrrr powdery. the staff are nice tho!

The food here was great! We ordered the birria tacos, birria nachos, and the chicken burrito supreme. All were super flavorful!!! Definitely will come here again for the flavorful birria. The service was also nice! We ordered at the front, sat down, and were given chips and salsa complimentary. Our food came out quickly as well! The ambiance is nothing special, just an ordinary sit down and eat spot. Overall, 5/5!

We ordered a birria and shawarma burrito. They came with a consommè. We drizzled the consommè and tried the red and green sauces they provided. Both burritos were really big, and delicious. The 34 and 35 bus run by here, if needed. The two people working here, that we saw, were very nice. The bathroom we went into was clean - that is a "thing" for me. Eating area is comfortable and clean. Definitely will return here and hope you give it a go too. Side note: I could have just drank that consommè.... Really good flavor!

This is a good alternative to many of the birria spots in other parts of the town where you might feel less comfortable parking. I like the options of getting Mexican or Mediterranean. I had the mix plate with chicken and gyro meat, lots of hummus and their toum and pita. The hot sauce brought to the table was great and pretty spicy. The red tacos were good and rich, not as greasy as other spots and perfect with the consomé. I would have liked some salsa on the side with the tacos, but I also didn't ask. The staff were friendly and checked on us frequently. Next time I want to try their agua frescas and their birria nachos. Their desserts looked good and there is also ice cream next door that is fabulous. An easy stop after going to the Oakland Zoo.

This place looooks sooo different from back in the day ..used to be a bar I used to go to ..but it's very clean updated and modern..the food was fresh and delicious I could have needed a bit more seasoning on my tacos and my burrito more sour cream and the shrimp could have been larger but it was still good at the same time ..customer service was on point and a variety of food to choose from ...I would recommend

We came here on a holiday but they were open. The place wasn't too busy, but it took longer than the Uber Eats time estimate. We ordered the lamb gyro pita and the supreme burrito with asada. Both entrees were a little lukewarm and the pita sort of lacked some flavor. The burrito could have used more toppings; I didn't see much cheese or sour cream as the menu detailed it would have. Anyways, the food wasn't freshly hot and kind of tasted like it was sitting around a bit, which is weird because the order took longer to make. However, the flavors were good and we've been to at least one other location, which similarly had good flavors.

Was craving Birria tacos and found this place while searching through Yelp. Restaurant is very clean but be patient as there is only 1 person working the front taking orders along with helping in the kitchen with the orders. Food is amazing. The consommé had great flavor and if you order 3 or more Birria tacos, the consommé is free. Portions are very generous. The tacos were loaded with a lot of meat. The fries was also loaded with a mountain of shredded beef. The chicken burrito was huge! Great value for the price. Will definitely be back again!

I don't eat meat so I ordered the shrimp tacos...one with and one without cheese...and I liked that they were crispy...and spicy. I don't think I liked the cheese, it was too thick...but flavorful. I ordered a shrimp quesadilla...too much cheese not enough shrimp...for my granddaughter...and next time I will order without the bell peppers. Overall a good experience...but I would add avocado slices to the tacos...

This Mexican and Mediterranean fusion restaurant is in a quiet corner of San Leandro on the same street as a couple of other restaurants like Top Hatters. There is only street parking but it's usually not to bad to find somewhere to park that's walkable. Inside it kind of reminds me of an old school diner with all the red furniture. I ordered to go at the counter and she said my chicken kabob plate would take 15-20mins and I said it'd be fine. This place is right next door to Kaloofi ice cream but unfortunately the ice cream place doesn't open until 3pm so you can't really eat lunch here and then get ice cream there unless you're having a really late lunch. The food was just ok. Maybe the Mexican food is better but I was pretty disappointed in the flavors and textures of my Mediterranean dish. The rice was clumpy and too moist, the pickles were just not good, flavor and texture wise. The chicken and the hummus was not bad. Maybe I'll come back to give the Mexican food a try but I think it's a no for me with the Mediterranean food here.

This was my first time trying birria tacos and my cravings were definitely satisfied by the taste of the birria taco combo at Habibis! We were seated quickly with a plethora of chips and salsa while we waited for our orders to arrive. This place has a very extensive menu; while the majority of us opted for the tacos, a couple friends also went for a Mediterranean plate, which came with plenty of pita bread for the entire table. My consome was the perfect combination of salty and meaty, and I finished all 3 tacos in no time at all. Next time, I plan to try their Al Pastor for hopefully the same punch of flavor. The service here is amazing, with plenty of seating, an attentive staff who brought us everything we needed within minutes, and a chill, relaxed vibe throughout. Highly recommend this hole-in-the-wall the next time you're craving Mexican.

I've been waiting for this place to open for few weeks. Ordered to go, was ready in about 10 minutes when I got there. I have heard very good things about the Hayward location on Jackson. But this location is a disappointment. The Quesabirria Taco Combo, the meat was tender but had no flavor, same with the consome. Carne Asada Nachos, the steak was the same no flavor, I don't think it even put salt and some of the cheese wasn't melted.

So this concept was made for me and my hubby. He loves tacos and I love falafel and hummus. Seriously, this is great. I loved the queso birria tacos. My hubby loved the torta with Carne asada. The portions are large. Every bite was full of flavor and great quality ingredients. I took falafel and hummus home to eat the next day. Both were really good. Restaurant and bathroom was really clean. Nice service and food came out fast.

We used to go to the Hayward location inside a gas station until it closed down! Now there are 2 locations in SL and Eden Landing in Hayward! We absolutely love this place. Spacious and quiet place. The quesaberria with consome here is so much better than other places. You get a big chunk of meat in your taco with fresh onion. And some beef in the consome, you can literally use the consome for anything esp in instant ramen we came in for early lunch lol there was no wait and the food came out super fast. It's spacious and there are parking all around. Their orange sauce is super spicy but is really good.

Had a nice lunch here this week!! The two of us shared the birria taco combo and chicken shawarma plate. The birria tacos were flavorful and the associated broth was perfect. I enjoyed the restaurants hot sauces! The chicken shawarma plate was okay, the hummus and garlic sauce may have been my favorite parts. Service was excellent and love that the place is halal! I would consider returning to try other items, maybe more of the Mexican food rather than Mediterranean.

Best, most authentic Mexican food! I can't believe ALL the meat is Halal.... Not only incredible tasting food with great flavor, but also has a clean location with great service.

Love the Birria Taco Combo with consume. The restaurant is clean, it smells good and the workers are always friendly and welcoming. I always order take out and the orders are always correct, nicely packaged and ready when promised. My only word of caution would be to be careful with the crema that accompanies the combo - that stuff is HOT! A good choice for food quality, flavor and service!

Not sure how this place got really good reviews. When we walked in there was no workers there to help us at all for about 5-7 minutes. We were just standing there, no sign or anything. Once the guy did arrive, he had the cliche one airpod in not really giving a care to providing good customer service. We ordered the queso taco combo and it was really lacking flavor as well as the consome. The worker didn't even leave us napkins and had disappeared to the back again. The table we sat at was dirty, and there was only one other party present. I would have understood if they were packed but that was not the case. Needless to say, I will not be coming back here. I am Mexican and I know what birria tacos are supposed to taste like. To those that say this is "the best in the bay" I am terribly sorry you have not experienced good birria tacos.

First time trying Birria tacos and we definitely made the right choice. They have both indoor and outdoor seating so I say you can always find a spot to sit at this place. Parking is easy since there is a big parking lot across the street. The restaurant itself is very clean and very comfortable to dine at. The menu is really big, it took us a couple of minutes to decide what we want but definitely can't go wrong with some classic Birria tacos. The girl running the register/ordering and bringing our food from the kitchen to our table was super friendly. The tacos themselves were absolutely a treat. They were very well made, not too hard but very juicy, and they will stay together the whole time you are dipping them into the broth. The tacos themselves were already very flavorful and with the broth, it was just icing on the cake. Will definitely come back to try their other items on the menu.
