Birria Tacos: The hottest Mexican streetfood trend right now

What are birria tacos?

They originate from Tijuana, Mexico, right on the US border, and were created by Don Guadalupe Zárate. He put a twist on the traditional dish Birria-a goat stew-by switching to slow-cooked beef. And that turned out to be a game-changer.

The secret? Juicy, spiced beef braised in a rich broth made from dried chillies, garlic and spices. The corn tortillas are dipped in the fat from the stew, then grilled with cheese, filled with the meat and folded into golden, crispy tacos.

And then comes the best part: dipping. Into the broth, guacamole or Mexican Red Sauce. Or simply all three. Rich, bold and addictively good. That’s why your guests will want to order this again and again.

Why put Birria Tacos on your menu?

For restaurants, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to truly stand out. Many menus look alike and terraces often feel the same. So what are you going to do to rise above the rest?

Maybe by serving a dish whose aroma already makes mouths water, whose presentation pops visually, and whose flavour leaves guests speechless. And if they also take photos and come back for more, you know you’ve nailed it.

Birria Tacos offer exactly that.
✔️ An experience at the table and on social media
✔️ A unique flavour combination with rich broth and a crispy bite
✔️ Easy to prep and perfect for fast service
