"Tacos" come in a lot of different varieties. "Birria" is one type of taco. It is typified by the use of stewed meat--in this case beef, as the protein for tacos, burritos, etc. The tortilla is often dipped into the stew's gravy.
A social media feed informed me that one of Birrieria Gomez's food trucks was setting up at a location convenient for me, so I decided to try their food.
I ordered three tacos ($1.50/each), and a beef & cheese quesadilla ($7.00).
Note that the truck is "cash only".
The tacos were served on a Styrofoam plate, along with radish slices and lime wedges. The plate was covered with foil. The quesadilla was served the same way. Each order also came with small containers of salsa. (I mention this: because of Covid, they did not set up a condiment stand; also, you should be aware, as you carry your order in the bag.)
The quality of the beef was very good. There was no evidence of tough, sinewy, or fatty pieces in the serving of shredded beef. The beef was moist, juicy and very tender; yet it still provided a nice chewing sensation. The meat was nicely seasoned. The spices are not as strong as some birria I have had; but I think their recipe creates a more subtle flavor profile.
Although Birria Gomez is not "the best" birria I have had, it is very good. I don't go chasing food trucks, but I appreciate it when a food truck turns out a good product. I would venture to eat at their restaurant, or from their trucks, again.
