From its origins in the Jalisco region of Mexico to its evolution in Tijuana, birria, a beloved Mexican dish, has become a food sensation in the United States in the past decade or so. Birria takes many forms: There’s birria de caldo, a meaty stew traditionally served for celebratory occasions, made with an adobo chile-based broth and goat or other meat. Birria tacos, which convert the stew into taco form, are served with a side of rich consomé for dipping, and quesabirria is a Tijuana-rooted taco variant with added cheese, fried on a flat-top grill. Raw diced onion and finely chopped cilantro adorn the shredded meat. For birria and quesabirria in the Twin Cities, check out these 16 spots.
