Reviews
I'd heard great things about this place from fellow Yelpers so I had to check it out. I ordered the house specialty birria de res in soup. The meat was tender with just enough fatty pieces so that the meat did not get tough. The beef was very tasty and the broth was full of flavor. I only added just a hint of lime to the broth, but other than that it was great as it was. It was so good, I forgot to take a picture of my food. As soon as they put it in front of me and I could smell the soup, I had no other thought than to get this into my belly! I tried my friend's chicken nachos. The shredded chicken takes it to a whole new level. My other friend got a large nacho with buche and the serving was massive. (See pic) I think that would be enough to feed a small army. Service was great. They were timely about taking our order and getting our food out to us. They frequently checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. All in all, my first experience at Birria Diaz was really awesome and I can't wait to go back and try more dishes.
Food is real good, kinda off the grid. They would allow us to call ahead and have our food ready when we were on lunch. Authentic food, Birriera de chivo con caldo or no caldo is delish, the menudo, nachos, and carne asada are what I've tried and always happy. Only place I can find in Brentwood that does buche! And the way I like it. Dont forget to order a michelada. Great service to follow authentic food! Estela always wears a smile!
Very good Mexican food! My husband and I came here for Birria, we were amazed of how authentic it was. Service was good, they have a wide but selective menu. The place is clean, small to medium size business. We will definitely come back and try more of their yummy food.
I have been reluctant to post this because I feel like this gem is all mine but I want them to stick around forever so here's my review. Most in Brentwood say go to La Costa or Jaliscos but they are JV compared to this place. The complimentary chips and salsa are the bomb. Every dish has been amazing. Service is always fast and stellar. One tip is to bring cash for tipping. This place will take your atm card for payment but there isn't an option to add a tip. Love this place!
This is a hidden gem, tucked away in a old strip mall. Don't be turned off by how the exterior looks, inside is nice. The birria here is one of the best I have had. The flavor is really good, not overly salty. The portions are well above what you pay for. The rice and beans that comes with the birria is really good too. Looking over the rest of the menu, the prices are very good. I've been here twice on sundays, the place was packed, which is a good sign. It will be hard to stray away from the birria but I will try other dishes that are on the menu. This might be my go to Mexican restaurant now.
