Dishes to know on this menu

Birria: A richly seasoned meat stew associated with Jalisco, traditionally made with goat but now frequently prepared with beef as well. The meat is braised with dried chiles and spices and may be served in a bowl with broth or used as a taco filling. Modern birria tacos are often griddled after the tortillas are dipped in the cooking fat. Add cheese and you'll commonly see the name quesabirria. A cup of consomé for dipping often comes alongside. On this menu as: Birria Tacos.
Chilaquiles: Pieces of fried or toasted tortilla tossed or simmered briefly in salsa, usually red or green, and served while the tortillas still retain some texture. Common toppings include crema, cheese and onion, with eggs, chicken or other proteins frequently added. Chilaquiles are especially associated with breakfast and are celebrated as a morning-after meal for reasons that require little explanation. On this menu as: Chilaquiles.
Quesadillas: A tortilla folded around a filling and cooked on a griddle or comal. Cheese is standard in many regions, but Mexico City famously complicates the definition: there, a quesadilla may need cheese specifically requested. Fillings can include squash blossom, huitlacoche, mushrooms, meat and many other ingredients. Flour-tortilla quesadillas are particularly common in northern Mexico and the United States. A mulita, associated with northern Baja and Southern California taquerías, sandwiches meat and melted cheese between tortillas. On this menu as: Quesadillas.
