"The greater Portland area has a number of exceptional birria carts, but Birrieria La Plaza reigns supreme. Here, customers dunk cheesy tacos into consome swirling with the heat of toasted spices and charred peppers, glistening with a slick of chile oil. Owner Oracio Hernandez’s mother is the mastermind behind the recipe, which she keeps under lock and key; mystery or not, the shop’s quesabirria, mulitas, and vampiros are some of the city’s finest." - Ben Coleman
"Perhaps best known as the cart that popularized quesabirria in Portland, Birrieria La Plaza has transformed into a full-blown restaurant, serving its slow-stewed birria de res — beef birria — in quesadillas, tacos, mulitas, and even ramen. It remains one of the finest versions in the city, tender with a nice foundation of chiles and alliums. It’s also available for takeout."
"For messy tacos, quesadillas, and cups of consomé, this ketchup-red food cart Birrieria La Plaza on Southeast Stark has quickly become a standout amid East Portland’s birria belt. The restaurant’s crunchy vampiros are a particular favorite, but it’s worth taking home as much of the restaurant’s deeply savory soup as possible." - Rebecca Roland
"Birrieria la Plaza, known for birria, is referenced as having recently opened its first restaurant and is scheduled to be part of the Flock food hall." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"This Mexican food truck is the place to find birria quesatacos served with consomme for dipping, but you should also get some tostadas with a toasty layer of cheese topped with birria, chopped onion, and cilantro. The truck is located in a grocery liquidator parking lot, but if you have a car, you can keep the braised meat party going by driving five minutes to Birria PDX and ordering an overflowing cup of birria ramen." - Krista Garcia
