Where to Find that viral Birria Tacos in Canberra
If you've seen those videos of cheese-crusted tacos being dunked into rich, red broth and wondered where to get them in Canberra — this is your answer.
Birria tacos dipped into our signature consommé
What is birria, anyway?
Birria is a slow-cooked Mexican stew, traditionally made by simmering beef for hours in a blend of dried chillies and spices until it falls apart. The magic happens when that tender beef goes into a tortilla, gets griddled with cheese until crispy, and comes with a cup of the cooking broth (consommé) on the side for dunking.
Crispy, cheesy, juicy, and a little bit messy. That's the whole point.
Birria tacos in Braddon
At Taco Boi on Mort Street, we make our birria from scratch — no shortcuts, no pre-made anything. The beef simmers low and slow in our own chilli blend until it's fall-apart tender, and every taco gets a proper cheese crust on the tortilla before it hits your plate. Your consommé comes on the side, ready for dunking.
First time? Here's how to eat them:
Pick up the taco (yes, with your hands)
Dunk it in the consommé
Take a big bite
Repeat until gone, then drink the rest of the broth
Make it a proper feed
Birria tacos go dangerously well with a frozen margarita. And if someone in your group isn't in a taco mood, we've got smash burgers, crispy Korean-style fried chicken, and wings too — all made in the same scratch kitchen.
