The Story of Birria
Birria originated in Jalisco, Mexico, where it was traditionally made with goat meat slow-cooked in a rich, spiced broth. Over time, this beloved dish evolved, and beef became a popular alternative.
Quesabirria takes this traditional birria and elevates it by adding melted cheese and grilling the taco until crispy. The result is a perfect combination of tender, flavorful meat, gooey cheese, and a crispy tortilla - all served with a rich consommé for dipping.
At Mr. Taco, we honor this tradition while adding our own family touch. Our birria is slow-cooked for over 8 hours with a secret blend of spices passed down through generations, creating the authentic flavors that keep our customers coming back.
How We Make Our Quesabirria
A labor of love that takes time, skill, and passion
1. Slow-Cooking the Birria
We start by slow-cooking premium beef in a rich broth with our secret family spice blend for over 8 hours. This creates incredibly tender meat with deep, complex flavors.
2. Handmade Tortillas
Each tortilla is made fresh daily using traditional nixtamalization and stone-ground masa. This authentic process creates the perfect texture and flavor.
3. The Perfect Cheese Melt
We use authentic Oaxaca cheese, known for its incredible melting properties and mild flavor. The cheese is added generously and melted to perfection on a hot griddle.
4. Rich Consommé
Every quesabirria comes with a cup of our rich, flavorful consommé - the cooking broth from the birria. Dip your quesabirria for an explosion of flavor.
