Where to Find Birria Tacos in the Boston Area | Eater Boston

"New South Shore hotspot Pearl & Lime, sibling to the Townshend, is offering a porky take on birria tacos, served on local Mi Tierra tortillas. “Our birria uses carnitas that sits in an ancho and guajillo chile brine for twenty-four hours and then gets our proprietary ‘green rub’ prior to being wrapped in banana leaves and being cooked overnight,” says co-owner Palmer Matthews. “The stock and liquid that the carnitas was cooked in is then set aside and further infused with beef marrow bones. The tortilla is dipped in this liquid before going on top of the plancha, and then is covered in queso Oaxaca and queso Chihuahua before the carnitas is added. It is then served with a side of the carnitas consomé.” Pearl & Lime is currently offering takeout, outdoor dining, and indoor dining, as well as delivery via the major third-party platforms." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
