"In the parking lot of Hay Elotes on East 7th - one of our favorite spots on the East Side for ice cream, sorbet, fruit cups, and, of course, elotes - there’s a newly-opened trailer serving birria. The whole menu here centers around birria de res, with tender, stewed beef filling everything from tacos and tortas, to mulitas and quesadillas. And, of course, ramen. Much like the other spots we’ve seen around town, a cup of Tapatío Ramen plays host to a few ladles of hot consome. Here, however, they’ve transferred it to a larger cup, allowing more space for additional toppings, like avocado and radishes." - raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
