Birrieria Guadalajara — Restaurant in El Monte

Birreria Guadalajara aims to offer traditional Mexican flavors, but unfortunately, it falls short, especially for those who truly appreciate authentic Mexican cuisine. While birria is known for its rich, complex flavors, the birria here lacks the depth and seasoning that make this dish a Mexican favorite. The broth, a fundamental component of birria, is particularly underwhelming, missing the usual blend of spices that gives it that signature warmth and zest.

Birria is not just a dish; it’s a beloved part of Mexican culture, often enjoyed for its hearty flavors and slow-cooked tenderness. However, the birria at this establishment doesn’t capture that essence. For those accustomed to the genuine article, this place may be a disappointment. It’s unfortunate to say, but the quality here is noticeably below the standard one might expect from a restaurant claiming to serve authentic Mexican cuisine.

In summary, if you're seeking real Mexican flavors and a memorable dining experience, Birreria Guadalajara may not be the best choice. The lack of seasoning and attention to traditional preparation methods means it doesn't live up to the authentic experience many patrons are...

So glad a new birria place opened up in the SGV! I went with their trio plate which consists of 2 tacos dorado, consome and a quesabirria. It's $0.50 more to add cheese to the tacos but it's definitely worth paying for. I also liked how you dont have to pay extra for the consome. The tacos were bomb, crunchy and packed with flavor. Usually birria tacos are greasy but this one had little to no grease. I feel like the quesabirria had too much cheese for my liking but Im sure others would enjoy it. The consome was amazing too.

If this place had as much marketing as Teddys red tacos, it would definitely be packed! The workers here are really...

First I want to add a disclaimer: I’ve only had birria at one other place and that was Birrieria Gonzalez, so I’m comparing this experience to that one.

To my taste buds the food was bland and the consome needed a lot of dressing up to have flavor. Even with adding onion, cilantro and lime juice the consome went to waste once we were done with dipping our tacos to give it flavor. The other place I had birria at, people were buying the consome by itself to drink and the flavor was on point without any additions. So I give it 2 stars because it wasn’t inedible just not flavorful. And also I don’t have much experience...
