Creole-Mexican street tacos: birria, oxtail, chicken, shrimp, vegan
"If you’ve never had an oxtail birria taco, swing by Pretty Little Tacos and you’ll understand why this Creole-Mexican fusion made our list. The oxtail is juicy, tender, and the perfect partner for the salty consommé. There’s also a faux meat and mushroom option, which is a hard-to-find vegan interpretation on birria. Just get it without the plant-based cheese sauce, which tastes like eating chemicals. This taco spot has two locations with a food stall in Politan Row and a standalone brick and mortar off Moreland. No shade to the food stall, but it can’t really replicate the Barbie-dream-house situation the Moreland space has going on, so head here first." - juli horsford
"This Creole-Mexican street taco food truck, founded by Michaela Merrick, first launched out of the Triton Yards food truck park in Capitol View in 2020 serving beef birria tacos, street tacos stuffed with oxtails, chicken, or shrimp, dessert tacos, and vegan options on the menu. Merrick’s successful taco truck is now a restaurant in Reynoldstown and has a stall inside Politan Row food hall in Midtown." - Eater Staff
