"In a past life, El Borrego De Oro was probably a Chinese restaurant, as evidenced by the turquoise, pagoda-shaped sign on South Congress displaying the name. But you’d never know stepping inside. It feels lived in and cozy—the type of place that has its regulars who’ve been coming in every weekend for menudo for decades. There’s a big sheep on the sign out front, and that should probably be an indicator of what you want to order here. We like the birria soup, packed full of tender, stewed lamb meat in a rich and savory consomé, just ready to be packed into some housemade corn tortillas. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
