Birrieria Chalio - Review - Boyle Heights - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Boyle Heights landmark Birrieria Chalio has been chopping up birria de chivo in various ways since the 1980s: deboned and shredded, hunks of flap meat, or (our favorite) ribs so tender that gravity slides the meat off the bone. Whichever cut you pick, Chalio’s robust seasoning is what makes this birria a must-try. Everything is stained red and boosted with earthy-sweet dried chiles, and the generous amount of salt rubbed into the meat enhances its flavor. You can order your birria crisped up with broth on the side, or bathed in Chalio’s fat-specked consommé. Both are spectacular when eaten with hubcap-sized corn tortillas. photo credit: Sylvio Martins" - Sylvio Martins
