Birria
Birrieria Diaz
What is birria? And, more importantly, what’s so great about it that it has inspired the name of a restaurant? Spicy stews of meat that are served on special occasions, birria originates in the Mexican state of Jalisco, the same area that introduced us to the sombrero and tequila. Stewed beef or sheep is served with a spicy broth and topped with the bright flavors of cilantro and onion at this birrieria, and sizes range from small to large. Birrieria Diaz also offers traditional Mexican dishes, such as tamales, menudo and tortas, but it’s the restaurant’s namesake that is the star. 6700 NW 39th Expressway, Bethany. 405.603.1304
