Cult Following for Birria-Soaked Hard Taco in LA

The best Birria taco to be had in Los Angeles has a few things going for it. First, let’s start with the color. The red birria gives the tacos their signature bright orange-red hue. Then there’s the texture—a lack of it. Because this isn’t a solid taco, you can put it in your mouth whole. It’s crispier than most tacos with a hard shell.

For those not familiar, birria is a hot Mexican stew that’s slowly simmered for hours. The meat of the day (usually goat or lamb) is cooked with seasonings like cinnamon, chiles, and bay leaves until the fat renders and the meat transforms into a tender, creamy texture. It's topped with onion and cilantro and served with a side of more birria liquid.

It feels like a recent trend, but birria has long held a warm, delicious place in the heart of many Angelenos.

The crisped-up tacos are dipped in the adobo liquid, then topped with onion and cilantro and served with a side of — yes — more birria liquid. The red birria gives the tacos their signature bright orange-red hue, and they can be crunchy, almost like a hard shell taco.
