The Best Things We Ate This Week

"Dish: 3 Quesabirrias + Consomé The quesabirria at La Vaca Birria in the Mission is the new standard for San Francisco birria. Thick pieces of halal birria that fall apart almost instantly are piled high inside a crunchy tortilla. The Oaxacan cheese is melted until it forms a sliver of crust that adds to the savoriness and fattiness. The red and green salsas, while not spicy, are smoky, and the consomé is dark and rich (a.k.a. the perfect dipping companion). Make sure to squeeze some lime before taking a euphoric bite of these crispy, melty tacos. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
