Ed Fernandez Restaurant Birrieria
Get: Birria tacos and consome, by the order or the pound
Birria is built for a lidded container: the meat stays tender and the consome travels in its own cup. It is a morning-to-early-afternoon spot, so plan the pickup around lunch.
Good to know: Open Wednesday to Sunday, roughly 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Phone orders: (619) 628-8235.

The Taco Stand (Convoy)
Get: Carne asada and al pastor tacos, a California burrito, chips and salsa

Good to know: Order for pickup through the site or the Convoy page on order.online; the other locations (downtown, North Park, La Jolla) have their own pages.
