I would LOVE an entire "Taco Manual" episode on Birria. I've been watching your PBS show, "Mexico: One Plate at a Time", and saw you did an episode featuring the consommé, but it would be really cool to see your take on the end-to-end birria process!

Thank God I am Mexican. I can’t never stop loving my cuisine. Today as I type this I had quesadillas with birria meat and birria soup. Shed a tear of how delicious it was. ( my own mother made it)

I love birria de res and have made it often but I never thought to use short ribs. Definitely will use them next time. Thanks Rick!

[rohtati]

It amazes me the fact that you actually acknowledge what kind of meat is used to make true birria..
Not even the huge majority of Mexicans know this‼️
This shows a real passion and dedication to the very delicious Mexican cuisine.
Thank you Rick Bayless for sharing your wonderful and artful recipes and information.
GOD bless you dearly 🙏🙏🙏

I'm old enough to remember in South TX the residents made birria with goat exclusively. Beef was for barbacoa. Only recently as an old man have seen this beef tacos called birria. I notice the cultural explorers give menudo a wide berth.

I use a combo of chuck, short rib and oxtail.

Rick you've been a staple in our Mexican household my family always loved the way you appreciate and respect the Mexican culture and cuisine. Love you man, stay safe. God bless

Birria is the best, It’s been trending in the last few years in the US; I’ve always had birria because my Dad is from Jalisco and my Mom is a great cook, my Grandma R.I.P. (father’s mom) share her recipe with my mom and one of my Dad’s aunts also gave my mom her birria recipe. Great blessing 😇

I used to live and work in restaurants in Chicago. Rick and his family are so well respected by industry people.They are truly apart of the neighborhood. I have eaten at all of his restaurants. The food is always awesome. But more importantly you can really tell all of his staff like working there and it is very much a familia.

I saw this video about a month before we went to Aruba and had Birria tacos at a Mexican restaurant and they were amazing. First time my family found one dish that everyone in the family loved.
