Amazing! Great staff and service. The flavor of the food is out of this world and you have to keep in mind it is NOT traditional Mexican food. I had the Birria Burrito and the amazing flavor is still lingering in my mouth. Good prices for beers and the decor is so cool. I highly recommend trying it out!!! We will definitely be back again and again!

This is a great hidden little gem. The food is seasoned and done well which is surprisingly hard to find. I'd say food is on the pricier side but definitely get what you pay for. They have all the meats and was super happy to see tripas and cabeza my absolute favorite meats and they were done well. There was a crust cheese that they out on the Nachos that was a super nice surprise. Def one of the better tasting birria tacos in a sea of them in our area. Can't afford to go all the time but will def come back for a special place to eat eith family and friends!

We tried Michis a week ago and have been back 3 times in 2 weeks. The food is delicious and oh the service! My favorite people are Pat and Amaris. I am welcomed with a hug now as if I am family. They are very attentive and have the most beautiful smiles. This is by far my favorite place and my family and I are making it a tradition to come at least once a week from now on. ❤️

Found this place on Instagram and been meaning to stop by. Well worth it. Awesome spot. Atmosphere inside was different from others and really cool. Really enjoyed the food. Staff were nice. Came with chips and salsa. Michelada needed some more mix but other than that, can’t complain. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back.

Good was delicious. Amazing. Coming back again soon We gave such good feedback. Even said next maybe an extra shell next time for all the food that falls off taco. I can't even express how much I enjoyed my meal and people

So glad we have a great Birria location here in Menifee. Tried this place for the first time and ordered the QuesaBirria Plate . Plate comes with 3 tacos and at first I didn't think that was going to be enough food for me. Let me tell you they really stuff them tacos with lots of meat. And thats not the best part. The flavor was outstanding full of flavor melt with plenty of cheese. The consome was piping hot and the flavor was spot on . The whole experience was great the ambiance and decor add to the enjoyment of sitting there versus take out. Great job to everyone. I just hope they can keep up the same quality . I've seen other places start off good and start sliding once they have a following. But for the time being I will continue going here.

This was my first time trying this place out. I had a pretty large order and it was a Tuesday so I expected a long wait since it was Taco Tuesday ($3 Tacos). When I got there the line was already out the door and the place was crowded with hardly anywhere to sit. Didn't stop me from waiting though because I heard so many great things about this place since moving here. Unfortunately, it was so busy my order got mixed up and I received everything except one birria quesadilla was swapped for two tacos and the papa tacos were served without the toppings. If the mistake didn't happen I would have given this place a solid 5 stars. The service was amazing and even though they made a mistake with my order, they did fix it once I came back. There was no fuss and no excuses. They were very polite and considerate. Jaylin, Jade and Kendrick were very friendly and hospitable. Jaylin entered the order correctly as my receipt showed an accurate order. Jade held a friendly conversation with my niece and I at the table she cleaned for us to sit while we waited as soon as the people previously there left. Made us feel welcome. And Kendrick served us with a smile and thanked us more than once and let us know that he hoped to see us again soon. The place seems a bit expensive at first but when you see the large portion sizes, its worth the money you pay for each dish. I highly recommend this place and I will be back simply because of the staff and their friendly and welcoming environment.

Conveniently located off the 215 FWY in the 'Menifee Town Center' shopping center on Antelope and Newport Roads near Ross, with plenty of parking. You order at the counter and seat yourself. The restaurant has inside seating as well as outside benches shared with neighboring restaurants. Their menu consists of 'Tacos, Quesa Birria, Birria Ramen, Burritos, Quesadillas, Tortas, Nachos, loaded Fries' as drinks they serve 'Beer, Micheladas, Aguas Frescas, soda'. We tried their 'Chicken Burrito' and an 'Asada Torta' (Mexican sandwich). They both tasted great, but the burrito was greasy towards the bottom end which became a bit overwhelming. Complimentary chips and salsa as we waited for our meal. Service was good, although a bit slow for food to come out, but we had a good experience here and we'll be back to try their 'Birria Ramen'.

First time eating at Michi Taco, and I must say it was well worth it. I had the Michi Nachos, shareable as I was with another person. You got a choice of meat, so I added Carne. The carne was moist and tender with a good serving of cheeses, fresh salsa. Also, the chips and salsa you get initially, chips are crispy and delicious, coupled with the sweet and mildly spicy salsa, delicious. I definitely recommend Michi Taco if you are looking for a quaint little taco shop with good food, good service, and a quaint atmosphere.

This is a descent place for quick tacos if you’re in a hurry. Otherwise, hold out for a place with better quality tacos 🌮and beer 🍺. I tried four different types of tacos and a Michelada. The Michelada was watered down with a half-ton of ice they put in it. As for the meal, they served me some complimentary chips and salsa at the table. The salsa was completely without flavor. Miserably bland! I had to ask for some salt to try to salvage a little flavor. The buche taco had some dried out meat and a metric ton of onions. The lengua taco was juicy and delicious with avocado salsa. Again, onions were splashed all over (quite excess). The cabeza taco was succulent and full of flavor (reason for two stars). Lastly, I tried the birria taco with consomé (dipping soup- think au jus for a taco). The meat was dried out (overcooked) and again, full of onions. Lastly, the tortitas disintegrated as I ate the tacos. Overall, the place is neat and well maintained; however, the staff are less than enthusiastic about helping customers and very slow to accomplish tasks.

They always forget an item from my orders and I never complain. This time around I have to, I placed an extra order for a large consome, a $10 item. How does this happen so often??? I love this place, the food is great, but there’s no way that 6 times out of 10 they always forget an item from my order.

Super expensive! Me & my boyfriend got food poisoning. $5 per taco is crazy! And if you want can soda cause it’s cheaper. They only have Diet Coke. And our server poor thing she kept forgetting everything.

First time here, not crowded, parking is okay. Cashier did not smile once or greet us in a friendly manner. Asking her about an item was like pulling teeth at the dentist office. Ordered two birria michi tacos- nothing to write home about. Meet was bland. Just a couple onions & cilantro to garnish. Very little beans and cheese. Disappointed. Only great part was the yellow tortilla the tacos came on. Will not be back but glad I came to see what the hype was about.

Took 45 minutes to get 6 tacos to go. They said 25 minute wait. Asked for everything on the tacos and they came completely bare with just the piece of fish. The sides were in these tiny half filled containers on the side. Not enough to cover the amount of tacos we got and they forgot the salsas we asked for. I went back in to ask for another container of sides and the missing salsas, and they gave me containers that were even smaller than the first ones and still barely filled up... Still missing the salsas. So I had to ask for those a 3rd time. In the 45 minutes of waiting there were countless orders being sent back for being wrong. The food is good but it's absolutely not worth the wait and the employee incompetence.

Ordered for pickup.. literally chose red sauce, but got green sauce. Paid the $4.50 for 8oz for the red sauce. Incompetent and careless. Called to speak with the manager to inform them of the situation, but was put on hold for over 10 minutes. Hung up, called again, to find out their phone has been disconnected or unplugged. Will never order from them again.. it’s just the unprofessionalism and neglect that got me. It’s not hard to read an order which clearly states exactly what was ordered.

I genuinely don’t understand the hype. This was hands-down the worst birria I’ve ever had. The meat was dry, flavorless, and somehow still greasy at the same time. The consommé tasted like someone waved a beef bouillon cube over warm water and called it a day. The tortillas were soggy, falling apart, and clearly not fresh. Cheese barely melted, meat barely seasoned, and zero depth of flavor. I’ve had better birria from a food truck parked behind a gas station at 2am. On top of that, the service was slow and disorganized, and the prices are wild for food this mediocre. If this is your first time trying birria, do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else.

Our original wait time went from 15 minutes to an additional 10 minutes then to an additional 40. We understand it’s busy but we were informed by the cashier/hostess that “they tell us to tell everyone that” regarding the wait times. When we came back after waiting the 40 minutes she informed us with a smirk that our order had been done for a while. Taco bell across the street has better service. Not worth it.
