"Juana Tamale makes great birria tacos, but they also use the stewed beef in ramen with mounds of queso and an oniony consomme that we drench everything in. With all the piles of melty cheese in the ramen, it has super gooey strands each time you get a forkful. And the queso birria taco that comes with each order has corn tortillas that are flavorful from being cooked on the same grill as the meat and crispy enough to sop up the broth without losing any of their texture." - alison kessler, candis mclean
