"This might sound like a clue on a scavenger hunt, but you'll find our favorite goat birria in LA tucked between a convenience store and a recycling center. That's Birrieria Apatzingan, a small, six-table restaurant in Pacoima that serves big steaming bowls of slow-cooked goat. The Michoacan-style chivo here is stewed until it collapses into tender threads, and the broth is so well-seasoned with hits of cumin, cinnamon, and dried chiles competing for your attention. The warm handmade tortillas on the side are pillowy and plump yet sturdy enough to double as spoons for hot soup." - sylvio martins
