"The consomme at Tacos Doña Lena is so beefy and concentrated, but somehow light and not at all greasy. If you decided to drink it straight from the bowl, no one will judge you. In fact, you might inspire others. The electric-orange restaurant in Lazybrook is the second location of the birria-focused taco shop. And it’s even better than the Spring Branch original thanks to margaritas with a Goldilocks ratio of tequila, lime, and sugar. Along with making the best birria tacos in town, Doña Lena also has crispy machetitas, gorditas stuffed with refried beans, and beefy bowls of ramen topped with fried eggs. Split a hulking combination plate with a special someone (and by someone, we mean yourself), load up on quesabirrias, and make sure to try all six of the salsas brought to the table." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
