Birrieria el Texcal

Mexican restaurant · Albany Park

"For the best birria in the neighborhood, go to Birrieria El Texcal. The meat is buttery from hours of slow-roasting, and the consomme is rich and fragrant, with a hefty helping of cilantro and onions. The grande serving of juicy goat meat and a large stack of steamed tortillas works well for a group, while the crispy, cheesy quesabirria platter with rice and beans is great for a solo dinner. And just because this small corner spot has birrieria in its name, don’t let that stop you from also getting at least one taco on the side." - john ringor, adrian kane
