"This tiny Michoacan restaurant in Pacoima is sandwiched between a recycling center and a convenience store, leaving just enough space for six tables, zero televisions, and elbow room to dunk fresh corn tortillas into an oversized bowl of goat birria. Whether you go with the signature smoky birria or a plate of the cartilage-y spare ribs bathed in salsa roja that require some nibbling, don't expect to check any sort of messaging app for a while. A meal here demands both hands and your full attention. Cash only." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, garrett snyder
