At Birria-Landia, the singularly praised birria taco delivers a deeply savory, consommé-soaked triumph that defines the experience. The overall vibe is one of unpretentious, messy, and utterly satisfying street-food bliss.
“First of all, this taco did not come with a splash warning — the meat literally just melts apart. Then you hit it with the homemade salsa, pickled onions on top, lime. Holy. I feel like a lot of consommé is just so watery and bland — this is easily the most flavorful consommé I've ever had. You might catch me at the club with some consommé; I don't need vodka or tequila, I'm sipping on consommé from Birria-Landia.”
