The 13 Best Birria Tacos In Austin, TX

"If you’ve ever found yourself on Instagram, mesmerized by videos of rich, birria-filled tacos being dunked into a steaming bowl of consomé, there’s a good chance you stumbled across footage from Palo Seco (formerly known as La Tunita 512). That, or you’re in a very vivid daydream that we’d love to be a part of. The tacos here are excellent, and the consomé is so good that we’ve debated if it’s socially acceptable to carry around a small flask of it. Most of the people anxiously lined up are here for the birria tacos or the quesabirria, the latter of which adds a signature spin by frying the cheese directly on the griddle before it goes into its tortilla blanket." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
