Just like so many others I came here in search of the infamous birria tacos! Birria tacos, if you haven't heard of them yet are all over social media. It's traditionally an addictive sweet, sour, mildly spicy, and downright savory Mexican beef stew that's slow cooked for hours until the beef is juicy, fall-apart tender, and simply delicious. Someone had the genius idea to stuff this beefy goodness into a crispy taco shell, then dip the whole thing into the stew, fry it up and Bam! the rest is history. I was beyond excited when I saw there were quite a few places in the metro area that sold them but I was in the area of Taqueria don Sige one day and decided to give theirs a try. I ordered their taco plate which comes with 3 birria tacos, broth for dipping, along with sliced cucumber, lime, and radish fixins' ( that's right fixins...I'm from the south). I also added a wings and fries plate to my order. The woman taking my order was nice and the food came out in a reasonable time. That's where the pleasantries ended though. As soon as I got to my car and took my first bite, sheer disappointment set in. My tacos had no flavor whatsoever and neither did the stew. How could something that looked and smelled so good be so blah?? On top of that my wings were so tiny it was laughable. Luckily I ordered them for my toddler so they were perfectly sized for her. The entire meal was a cruel tease for my eyes and an anticlimactic event for my taste buds. Needless to say, the next time I get a hankering for birria tacos I definitely won't be coming back to Taqueria don Sige.
