On this episode of Una Mordida Tacos Tijuana, our host Chef Danny Betancourt went to “Tacos de Birria El Sabroso” located at Av Aguascalientes 2237, Col. Madero (Cacho), 22040 Tijuana, B.C. On this occasion he tried two tacos: a tongue taco priced at $2.5 dollars ($50 pesos) and a birria taco with cheese priced at $2.25 dollars ($45 pesos).

Birria Taco With Cheese

This taco has beef birria, onion, cilantro, beans, a crust of cheese, and is served on two fried corn tortillas. When he took his first bite, the first thing Chef Danny noted was that the taco was very greasy. However, something great about this taco was how fried its tortillas were.

The mozzarella cheese crust was quite thick, and it had a good flavor. The meat had a soft texture; it was chopped and had good humidity as it was very juicy. The beans were a good plus for this dish. It should be noted that our host did not feel anything spicy in this taco, which he claims was actually nice for his palate and stomach. This is why this taco gets a rating of 8.8.

Price: $2.25 dollars ($45 pesos)

Tongue Taco

This taco has birria beef tongue, onion, coriander, beans, and is served on two fried corn tortillas. Before trying the taco, Danny said that he thought it was very nice that they had the option to eat beef birria tongue, specifically for those who love this protein.

The meat had quite a soft texture as it was chopped delicately. The flavor was more subtle than the one in the beef birria, to the point Danny’s palate was not overwhelmed. However, due to the condiments’ subtlety it needed something more. This is why this taco gets a rating of 8.5.
