"If you’ve never had an oxtail birria taco, swing by Pretty Little Tacos and you’ll understand why this Creole-Mexican fusion made our list. The oxtail is juicy, tender, and the perfect partner for the salty consommé. There’s also a faux meat and mushroom option, which is a hard-to-find vegan interpretation on birria. Just get it without the plant-based cheese sauce, which tastes like eating chemicals. This taco spot has two locations with a food stall in Politan Row and a standalone brick and mortar off Moreland. No shade to the food stall, but it can’t really replicate the Barbie-dream-house situation the Moreland space has going on, so head here first." - juli horsford
