I see the current birria fad has spilled over from Texas.

Looks like a crunchy/soft taco from Taco Bell. For when you can't decide...

What is birria?

“Birria is a traditional dish from Jalisco, Mexico. It’s [classically] made from goat or sheep, [and] it is slow-cooked by wrapping the meat in ‘pencas de maguey,’ which are agave leaves, [then] sometimes roasting the meat in a pit or in a brick oven along with chilies and spices [with] a pot placed under the meat to capture all the drippings, which are then used to make a ‘consommé,’ which is a broth [meant to be] served alongside the meat,” explains chef de cuisine Gabriela Hinojosa of SweetFire Kitchen at La Cantera Resort & Spa in San Antonio.”

DescriptionBirria is a Mexican dish from the state of Jalisco. The dish is a meat stew traditionally made from goat meat, but occasionally made from beef or mutton. The dish is often served at celebratory occasions, such as weddings and baptisms, and holidays, such as Christmas and Easter.


Then when they make tacos from it, they dip their freshly made tortillas into the meat stew so the fat/juices coats the tortilla. Shake the excess and put onto hot flattop griddle. While it’s frying, put your meat and cotija cheese and anything else you want into the tortilla and close it and flip to fry until done.

It’s common to have a little dipping cup of the stew juices for the tacos once served too.

I have not had Mawi’s birria tacos but I have had their tortillas, fresh tortilla chips, bean dip, and pico. All were very good. Tortillas were still hot when I picked them up and were delicious.

I wish Blue Oak would start doing their Mexican/Latin inspired dishes on Thursday nights like they used to. They really execute w these
