Barbacoa La Familia started in 2020 as a way to bring the authentic flavors of Mexican home cooking to San Diego. We specialize in slow-cooked, flavorful meats, and we chose barbacoa because it’s a traditional dish that’s rich, tender, and full of flavor — a true crowd favorite. Our goal is to serve meals that feel like a warm, family-style experience, even from a food truck. Our fan favorites include everything barbacoa, as well as our loaded fries and burritos, all made with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that keep our customers coming back.
