9 Great Birria Tacos In NYC - New York - The Infatuation
"Birria-Landia makes the city’s best birria, full stop. This Tijuana-style spot is a New York City landmark, like the Statue of Liberty, except it’s a truck under a set of subway tracks in Jackson Heights, and it’s actually worth visiting (they also opened a truck in Williamsburg in 2020). Each of the four items on their menu (tacos, mulitas, tostadas, and consomme), is bolstered by tangy, mildly spicy, and mysteriously deep stew. First, you’ll taste lime, then tender meat, then adobo, then dripping fat, with everything melting together in your unworthy mouth. Make sure to take your crunchy-soft tortilla filled with beef and, and dip it in your cup of consomme. What happens is a sea change. The word “delicious” seems somehow inadequate. Bring at least $13 cash, get one of each item on the menu." - Hannah Albertine, Nikko Duren, Carlo Mantuano
