Birria Pa La Cruda - Los Angeles

Birria Pa La Cruda elevates Sunday taco traditions with LA-style birria that’s earned cult status among serious taco enthusiasts seeking the ultimate hangover cure. Operating as a Sunday-only pop-up, chef Carlos Jaquez creates “one of the more-complex tasting birria broths” that’s “almost ungodly thick, pleasantly tasting of charred chiles and spices”. Each taco achieves “that lauded voracity-inducing quality that only a good taco can demand; once you eat the tacos that are on your plate, you immediately want to order two more”. The no-frills approach offers “just birria tacos, consomé, and agua de jamaica” with meat “cooked perfectly tender and of course fried on the hot pan in its own broth/fat”. Using Choice-grade beef chuck and Kernel of Truth Organics tortillas, this isn’t Tijuana or Jalisco style – “it is strictly L.A.-style”. The 8am-1pm Sunday operation creates weekend pilgrimage destinations for birria devotees.
