Birrieria El Jalisciense is a must-visit destination for those seeking an authentic taste of Jalisco-style birria. Nestled in the heart of Boyle Heights, this unassuming spot has earned a reputation as one of the best places for the beloved goat meat stew.
The star of the show is the rich, flavorful birria tatemada (roasted goat birria), which is slow-cooked to perfection and served with a traditionally Jaliscan, tomato-forward consome. The tender, skin-on ribs and the melt-in-your-mouth soft tacos are particularly noteworthy, though the fried tacos and the dry, tough boneless meat may be less impressive.
Despite its humble appearance, with a makeshift checkout counter and folding chairs scattered across the sidewalk, Birrieria El Jalisciense exudes a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The friendly service and attention to detail add to the charm of this culinary gem.
Prices are reasonable, with an order that can easily feed 2-3 people costing around $20. While the consome may not be to everyone's taste, the standout birria makes Birrieria El Jalisciense a must-try for any fan of this trendy, internet-famous dish. Early arrival is recommended, as this first-come, first-served spot draws a devoted crowd seeking an authentic taste of Jalisco.
