About

Tacos de Birria El Chinito Jr in Chula Vista specializes in Tijuana-style birria from a sit-down counter at 301 Montgomery Street, having expanded from its original food truck on H Street into a permanent kitchen. The birria preparation slow-braises beef in a guajillo-and-ancho chili consommé for several hours, producing a concentrated broth served alongside every taco order — an all-day braising commitment shared by dedicated Chula Vista birria counters El Primo Birriería. Quesabirria tacos, birria fries, and standalone consommé bowls expand the core taco menu into a full birria program, with the quesabirria dipping its stuffed tortilla into the braising liquid for a second sear on the griddle. The kitchen also supplies bulk birria trays for group orders, scaling the same slow-braised preparation into catering-adjacent volumes that overlap with the event taco service at La Taquiza on the Chula Vista party circuit. The consommé base starts from a dried-chili paste of guajillo, ancho, and morita peppers toasted on a comal before blending with roasted tomato and garlic, then simmered with bone-in beef shanks until the collagen renders into a naturally thickened broth.
