Ask any regular what they order first at Taqueria Mariana, and there is a good chance the answer is birria tacos. It is one of our most requested items, and once you understand what goes into a plate, it is easy to see why.
Birria starts with beef that is slow-cooked until it is tender enough to pull apart with a fork. There is no shortcut here – the meat needs time to soak up the seasoning and turn rich and deeply flavorful before it ever touches a tortilla.
Each tortilla gets dipped in the consomme – the flavorful broth left over from cooking the beef – then griddled until the edges turn crispy. That is what gives birria tacos their signature color and that little bit of crunch before you even take a bite.
The same consomme that flavors the meat comes served on the side for dipping. It is warm, savory, and honestly half the experience – do not skip it.
Like everything else on our menu, our birria tacos are made fresh daily with handmade tortillas and house salsas. If you have not tried them yet, come find the truck and see what the fuss is about.
