"This casual Mexican counter serves up a fantastic birria ramen. And if you’ve ever considered just slurping a bowl of consommé like it’s soup, well, now’s your chance. Sure, the noodles are straight from a package, but everything else is slow-roasted and cooked with care. The deeply rich broth somehow skips the greasy oil slick while keeping all the sweet, roasty flavor of the meaty liquid gold. Add a squirt of lime for brightness, plus a generous handful of finely chopped red onions and cilantro." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
