Tortaco

Birria Tacos

Slow-braised beef birria folded into corn tortillas, crisped on the griddle with melted cheese, served with a side of rich consommé for dipping — the defining item here

Quesabirria

Birria-stuffed quesadilla variant griddled until the cheese crisps at the edges, served with consommé — essentially the birria taco concept in maximalist form

Al Pastor Tacos

Marinated pork shaved from the trompo with pineapple and cilantro — a necessary reference point for judging how well a taqueria does its classics beyond the birria
