Yet another solid taqueria in Golden Hill

Los Reyes has slowly become one of my default Mexican stops over the years. I usually go to Adalberto's just down the street, but Los Reyes does some dishes better and offers some that are not as common like birria and menudo.

I've really enjoyed most of the beef and pork dishes that I've tried at Los Reyes. The carnitas is luscious. The pork adobada and carne asada are flavorful and juicy.

On a recent visit, I tried birria, a spicy, soupy goat stew, for the first time. As such, it's hard for me to do a comparative analysis with other birrias, but I will say that I really enjoyed mine. The chunks of goat meat were very tender almost falling off the bone along with bits of soft tendon. The fiery red soup was rich and not too spicy. The Chinese in me wants fill it with noodles and rice and slurp away.

I've had a couple of items that I didn't love though. The guacamole here (like at most SD taquerias) is sub-standard. It's bad enough that it will ruin a dish like carne asada fries. The refried beans lack the creaminess present in the best versions.

Still these are minor faults. Los Reyes is a great place for a Mexican food fix.
