2. Birrieria Tacos Mi Negra

Birrieria Tacos Mi Negra For a choice between beef and goat

The menu separates birria de res from birria de chivo, so this is the stop when you want to choose your meat rather than assume every birria taco is beef. Its ordering menu also names a quesabirria de res. Ask what is available that day if you are comparing both versions.

Find it at 24651 Alessandro Blvd, Moreno Valley, CA 92553

Listed hours Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri 9 am-6 pm; Sat-Sun 8 am-6 pm. Wednesday not listed on its ordering site; call first.

3. El Chivito Birrieria

El Chivito Birrieria For a goat-birria plate and a daytime visit

This menu goes further into chivo than a standard quesabirria stop: the birria plate is offered as all meat or surtida, and there is a goat-shank option marked call ahead for availability. The listed tacos dorados come with consomé. Go for a plate if you want a sit-down comparison with tortillas and broth.

Find it at 14910 Perris Blvd, Ste C, Moreno Valley, CA 92553

Listed hours Daily 9 am-5 pm (third-party listing; call to confirm)

How to choose

Beef or goat?

Birria is not one fixed order. At Mi Negra, the menu names both res (beef) and chivo (goat). El Tijuanazo describes its birria as Tijuana-style beef. El Chivito lists goat-birria cuts and plates. If you have a preference, ask which meat is in the taco or consomé before you order.

What about quesabirria?

For a cheese-filled, crisp-edged version, El Tijuanazo and Mi Negra list quesabirria on their menus. If the broth matters most, order consomé alongside and taste it on its own before dipping.
