FAQs

Birria comes from the Mexican state of Jalisco and originates from sometime in the 16th century. The innovation of pairing the birria with tacos exploded in Tijuana’s street food stands in recent years.

Birria is best cooked low and slow. A slow cooker is perfect, as is a pit with a lid that you can leave in the oven for a long time.

While birria and barbacoa may look similar, the difference is in the way the meat is cooked. Birria uses marinated meat cooked in a pot then served with a broth, barbacoa is traditionally cooked in a clay oven.

Traditional birria is a spicy dish that’s full of big flavours, but you can adjust the recipe to suit your heat level.
