Trying home-cooked food from local small businesses around San Diego County — Pt. 3 🍴✨
Lately I’ve been really enjoying checking out MEHKO home kitchens, and this stop was in Escondido. If you love birria 🌮, Knife Kings is one to know. Everything I tried had this really comforting, BBQ-style twist that felt perfect for winter 🔥🥩. You can tell Sergio knows his way around BBQ, and birria is clearly his cold-weather specialty. There were a few different dishes to choose from and every single dish was a hit 🤤
It’s a great way to support local people doing what they love 🏡✨
I pre-ordered online and picked it up, super easy. If you want to find other home kitchens in your area, @cookconnect_mehkos has more info 💛
