D.A. Taste’s bestseller in the early going has been beef birria tacos (three for $12, nine for $25). Tortillas are dipped in a special oil before hitting the flattop, giving them a nice crisp before they’re topped with cheese, onions, cilantro and the shredded beef. The tacos are served with a consommé, a spicy soup made from the broth in which the beef was slow-cooked, for dipping.
The owners aren’t aiming for authenticity. Birria is typically a meaty Mexican stew served on holidays, but D.A. Taste’s dish still reflects the tender beef and deeply spiced, nose-tingling end product born out of Jalisco, Mexico, just tucked inside two tortillas.
