"This busy spot for beef birria has a loyal clientele who love the stewed meat loaded into bowls or tacos de lengua with a side of consomé. Regulars know to go for the queso taco con nervio (usually a tendon or cartilage with more flavor) and the taco tatemado served with extra char to the birria. On the weekends, menudo, packed with hominy, nervio, and tripe in a rich broth, is offered. Make sure to plan your visit ahead of time, as the shop is only open from Wednesday to Sunday. Diners who are in a rush can place their to-go orders at the window or enjoy their birria in the outdoor dining area. The interior, a small, cozy area with a few tables, provides a space for smaller parties to savor a sit-down meal. Weekends are the busiest, as birria — a hangover remedy — is in high demand after long nights." - Roxana Becerril
