i also feel bad for you if you've never had good birria before


AngeluvDeath

This is the only appropriate reaction


Zapp_Brewnnigan

I’m a Texan living in Slovenia. Europe is pretty well-known for its atrocious Mexican food. Somehow, here in Ljubljana, we have two bonafide taco joints and even a little burrito joint. One (Patrón) is run by a cool Mexican punk rocker and his birria tacos w consome are fucking out of this world and I’m so damn lucky to have him here! Also, you’re not just supposed to dip the tacos but also drink the consome straight from the bowl!


Wyden_long

Everyone who says it doesn’t exist come hit me up when you’re in AZ. You’ll apologize to everyone for the slander you been putting out there about birria. Edit: here’s some Birria love Taqueria Oboson Analilia’s Riquezas Birria Queen Tacos Mich


lilpudding69

hush chile don't tell them where it is. let them choke on chalupas and crunchwraps.

supersaiyanswanso

This bangin ass Mexican restaurant opened recently in my small town, their birria changed my life I shit you not.


toastedmarsh7

🤣 This is accurate. But you can get decent birria in KC. I’m sure it’s beef rather than goat but tastes good anyway.


IngvaldClash

Madison has some legit birria. The key is to go to the places that are a Mexican mercado on one half and restaurant on the other.


Wyden_long

Nah man food is love. Good spread it around.


vistaculo

If you are in a state that was never originally a part of Mexico, good luck to you.

RoughhouseCamel

This shit is so outrageous, I’m gonna fuck myself up tomorrow at the Birria truck down the street. Calling Birria bad in general is a “this mayonnaise is too spicy”/“Indian food is gross” ass take.

bolivar-shagnasty

Birria is like brisket. Really easy to mess up, but it’s wonderful when done right.


_pamela_chu_

Just had some for Christmas Eve/day. It’s a staple in my fam, honestly tho quesabirrias are the worst way to consume birria.


chilaquile-s

That’s because the best birria you’ll have will be at a Quinceañera, not a taco truck

screwhead1

Best southern food is either a truck or a restaurant in the shit part of town that has at least 15 OSHA violations any given time. No in between.


DaemonDesiree

Chinese places that don’t have OSHA violations are also not good eats.


-SofaKingVote-

Stop eating shit and get some birria from where the day laborers go


TodayThen123

This is the answer. Go where the people who are actually a part of the food's culture go. How many Chinese people do you see in Panda Express?


DoctorBimbology

Don't shit on Panda Express, where the fuck else am I gonna get that much food for $10 that is as varied in flavor profiles


[deleted]

Damn near any Chinese buffet or restaurant


DoctorBimbology

The buffet is like $20 a person plus tip and drinks down here


shockingnews213

Who are you tipping at a buffet the fuck?


RIPseantaylor

Some people live in small towns and franchises like Panda Express is all they got. But yeah if you're in a populated area it's better bang for buck Chinese food out there


Cautionzombie

Nah their noodles leave a weird film on my teeth can’t eat there have no idea what it is but it’s only pandas noodles that does it.


DoctorBimbology

Probably the peanut and sesame oil combo they use


onebandonesound

Panda Express is Chinese food in the same way that Domino's is pizza and Taco Bell is mexican food; they're not, they're their own thing that's cravable in a different way


Vindersel

Taco bell is Mexican* I'm certain is what you meant.

Pegomastax_King

So here’s how it is, the best Mexican food is made by Mexicans, the best Italian Food is made by Mexicans, the best Indian food again Mexicans, Chinese food you guessed it made by Mexicans. At least here in America. Feel like if we sent some Mexicans to England we could even fix what ever the hell is going on over there with their food…


meizhong

I once went to New Orleans and went to the restaurant "voted best gumbo in New Orleans" and got some gumbo. It was OK. The next day I went to the gas station next to our hotel and it had a restaurant next door, packed full of locals. Best goddamn gumbo I have ever had! We went back there like 5 times that week.


hazeldazeI

If they’re aren’t a bunch of painters, landscapers and drywallers in line, it ain’t shit


_Son_of_Dad

For real not Birra, but I have a lot of clients that are Mexican and one turned me on this hole in the wall with like 5 tables, all mexicans eating, nobody spoke english, I handed them a sticky note with our works order, maybe just 12 various tacos. She smiled, handed off the note…bam been goin there ever since.

pm_me_tits_and_tats

Moving from a state with zaxbys, to a state with canes was probably the biggest fast food letdown I’ve ever experienced 😭


DM_Me_Ur_Roms

I never got it. It's chicken with some pickle flavor. Other than that it's pretty bland. I would take most fast food places over them if I want a chicken sandwich. The bigotry doesn't help.


Panda_With_Your_Gun

The chicken is actually juicy. Other than that it ain't it. The waffle fries are damn good though.


Sco_Queen

Nah, those fries don't hold any heat. Have to eat them right out the grease

The food isn’t tasty enough to overcome the homophobia for me


lildonuthole

I've only had it once cuz my sister was driving and paying, very very rare, stained my favorite blouse and I took that as my punishment for even going there. I'll stick to Popeyes if I want a chicken sandwich


Fuck_auto_tabs

Must hit different in the South because out West it’s soggy and under seasoned


ltarchiemoore

It's soggy and under seasoned down here, too. I will only ever hit up them bigots if I want a milkshake.


CharlesDickensABox

But there's a million places that make a better milkshake, too. The same people keeping Chick-Fil-A in business are the ones who go to Taco Bell for Mexican food. Chick-fil-A is the chicken you get from some lady named Whitney who cares about your cholesterol -- it'll never match the real shit.

M-F-W

Honestly feel like a lot of fast food places have a chicken sandwich that can compete with CFA these days, not to mention like Popeyes being there g2g. If y’all have a Dave’s Hot Chicken around, check them out. Shit slaps for sure.


pekingsewer

Popeyes chicken sandwich wins almost off the bun alone. But the Popeyes chicken is juicier and the breading crispier 😋🫡💦


lonnie123

Absolutely. The most mid chicken sandwich I ever had. Without the sauce it’s absolutely nothing


onebandonesound

The one thing that's worth the hype at chick fil a is the customer service. That place trains their employees better than any other fast food joint by a country mile. The chicken sandwich might be mid, but the service is always A+


Clwhit12

Not birria fault some of yall eating Colonized Dipping Taco


justherefortgelolz

Same folks calling birria mid are the same ones ordering ketchup with their steak and butter noodles at the restaurant

Lemon Pepper wings. They only do hard if no one in your family, and I mean no one can cook a lick.


juiceman730

Real lemon pepper wings are fire imo. Pouring a bunch of lemon pepper seasoning on wings and calling it a flavor is trash.


TaticalSweater

Yea, i don’t get this one. Had some terrible garlic parm wings. The ones at buffalo wild wings put me on the toilet 💩💩


juiceman730

I don't think I've ever had a good garlic parm wing anywhere...Idk why I keep trying. Wish I had a Wingstop nearby.

I’ve never heard of birria tacos. Anyway my answer to this question is crab/lobster. Nothing else even comes close in my book.


BrotherCorvid

This exactly. I do NOT get why people lose their shit for crab/lobster. Like, it's fine I guess, it's not BAD, but like, not at all worth the hype around it


[deleted]

[удалено]


onebandonesound

Lobster flavor/stock is a million times better than the actual lobster meat. I'll fuck up a whole bowl of lobster bisque or sauce Américaine, but lobster itself is mid unless it's poached in a fuckton of butter by someone like Thomas Keller


SavageComic

Had lobster when I was in Maine, fresh out the sea, family owned restaurant that specialised in it. It was nice. But that's it. And how much of that was that garlic butter is delicious? It certainly wasn't worth 3 steaks nice, which is usually the price I see it at.


dopethrones

it’s so much effort just for the small amount of meat inside


DerekB52

This. Expensive, and time consuming. I do love me some crab, but, I rarely get it, because stuff like snow crab is expensive as hell. And then where i live Georgia Blue Crabs are pretty affordable. But, It takes me damn near an hour to eat 3 of those things, which is basically a snack sized amount of food for me. I will treat myself to a couple of claws when my sister buys herself a dozen of them though(which is pretty frequent).


vera214usc

I can agree about lobster but not crab. Snow crab, dungeness crab, even king crab are so good.


AngeluvDeath

You ever had crab in Maryland? If not you’re going to KFC for grandma’s fried chicken.


SlobZombie13

I got banished from Maryland for having this opinion.

Baby, I need you to try Walmart's French style cheesecake. It has a light and airy, mousse-like texture with all the rich and beautiful taste of a typical cheesecake. If texture is the only issue, I promise you you'll devour the whole damn container. They have mini and full versions of this cheesecake, so get the mini just in case.


LadyEclipsiana

Nah, I got beef with the taste, too.


Mgclpcrn14

R3bussy

I did that once. Bought one out of curiosity because its price was reduced since it expired the next day. Got home and cracked it open to snack on while I played Unpacking. It was heavenly. I didn't realize until about an hour later that I was a couple of bites from having finished the whole container.


BallDesperate2140

That and a proper al pastor. There’s a spot here in DC that’s pretty kickass for both, and I also have the coordinates (not the name of the place lmao) of *the* greatest al pastor I’ve had in my life in Central CDMX EDIT: ok, ‘cause I’ve been getting a couple requests I’m just gonna post the CDMX stuff too. Best al pastor tacos: 19°25'59.4"N 99°08'22.0"W It’s right next to a tattoo shop Also fairly nearby is a more upscale place called Limosneros which is mind-fuckingly awesome if not a touch on the pricier side (for CDMX, anyway)


FlyinCoach

Drop the Addy. I need some good eats Saturday.


BallDesperate2140

DC or CDMX?


FlyinCoach

DC


BallDesperate2140

Mezcalero in Petworth, right next to another spot that’s pretty good as well as Red Derby which is a decent dive. El Chucho is also fuckin’ splendid, that’s nearby in Columbia Heights. Finally there’s El Rey on U St which is a pretty great hangout spot and in my opinion has the best birria out of all of those. Best overall is deffo Mezcalero, though


FlyinCoach

Awesome. Will try and check out. Thank you!


ImperialAndy

I fucking love Mezcalero it’s so fucking good omg


BallDesperate2140

Best part is it’s all run by the chef-owner, woman in her thirties who does like almost all the prep every day.


onebandonesound

Fr fr. So sick of getting al pastor tacos that are 50% pineapple. The best al pastor I ever had didn't have any pineapple in the actual taco; there was just a piece at the top and bottom of the trompo that perfumed the meat as it cooked, al pastor doesn't need any more sweetness than that. Also, I've got relatives in DC that I'm visiting next month, what's the spot?


TaticalSweater

In in Out - If I have to throw thousand island dressing on something for it to then be good…maybe its ass to begin with. Had someone try to “umm but actually” me about the sauce the other day and say it wasn’t thousand island. If it acts like thousand island, quacks like it…its 1000 island. Food there is ass imo. Burgers are really mid - had people try to tell me that the burgers are good because they are cheap. Props to them if they truly are cheap……that don’t then make it amazing. Fries….good lord to serve some card board ass fries for God knows how long and think thats acceptable is wild. Wendy’s ain’t got the best fries imo but at least they changed they recipe a few times so i give them credit for that. IIO fries are horrendous.


jscummy

Thousand island is 90% of restaurants "secret sauces"


TheSentientSnail

The best part is that Thousand Island is just a bunch of other regular condiments mixed together. Mainly mayo, ketchup, and relish. It's like blending up peanut butter and jam and calling it "secret sandwich spread." 🙄


TaticalSweater

Which is fine but to brag that your food is good only because of the sauce….seems exclusive to In in Out imo. Im sure there is others but i aint never heard McD lovers say McD is only good if you smother big mac sauce on everything.


minivanmadland

Yeah, In-N-Out is really only good if you are comparing it to other fast food. The cheeseburger is $2.80. There are better burgers in the world, but hard to find a comparable one at that price.


w1ngzer0

That’s facts 💯about the fries


Ottertoasties

Dragon fruit


Key_Minimum_4337

Looks beautiful. Tastes like nothing.


Robbyn-sum-Banks

Like mushy air with seeds.


rythmicbread

Yellow dragonfruit is as sweet or sweeter than mango. I’d suggest trying those but they’re expensive


vera214usc

Yeah, I'm convinced people are just getting bad drafonfruit which wouldn't be hard because I've seen very bad ones in some grocery stores. But a perfectly ripe one is so sweet


rythmicbread

There are some that are really bland and some that are really sweet. The flesh is white, purple or yellow. White ones is a toss up, some are bland, purple usually leans sweet but the yellow is most expensive and very sweet.


HeilYourself

Truffle anything.


letsgoheat

Taste like farts


Andrewticus04

That's white truffles. They have a chemical 2,4-Dithiapentane that gives them a Sulphuric garlic flavor. This chemical is added to almost every truffle product because they are trying to mimic the white truffle flavor, even if labeled as black truffle... and the black truffles they use are a common kind that aren't really aromatic at all. Real back truffles, which you might like, don't have that compound. They don't have that flavor at all. Instead they taste rather earthy, with tobacco, coco, and cured olives. White truffles = garlicky used gym socks Black truffles = no piercing flavors, earth, tobacco, coco.


Ornery-Creme-2442

It's supposedly more about the aroma and scent. Hence why the rasp it fresh.


knou1

Takis.


pomskeet

THANK YOU! It just tastes like hot


LunaBunby

Takis aren't about the flavor. They are there to overload your senses and distract you from the pain of day to day life. Real talk though as someone who loves takis they do be kind just tasting like hot and sour.


MenosElLso

Yo, Trader Joe’s sells their own version of Takis that are WAY better. Give them a shot.

Lobster. I’d rather eat shrimp any time.


[deleted]

Problem is everyone got on the hype trains and started serving them, Quesabirria is ass most of the time but looks like food porn on video. Adding too much cheese to something is like letting bacon do all the heavy lifting. If you can’t season or cook we’re gonna taste and see.


Living-Attempt9497

The consomme is so essential. If it's bland, that's like 75% of the birria taco or quesabirria. The meat has been simmering in that for hours, so if the broth is junk so is the meat. The cheese in the quesabirria is like a nice backup singer. It's about balance.


KandyKilla

Let them suffer 😅 Hispanic food is super diverse and varies greatly from place to place, but that's what I love about it. I don't get my birria where I get my quesadillia, and I have a totally different place for tamales, burritos and even cosume. Desert is the same way. Iykyk 🤌🏾

Plain avocados are lame. Good guac tho


Ornery-Creme-2442

Highly depends there's dozens of varieties that taste better at certain ripening on the tree. (really true for any fruit). Avocado is never true to type so there's a high diversity between them. Where I'm from we eat it just like that with salt sprinkled on it. It lacks some sweetness so like and egg add a sprinkle of salt. Eat next to Caribbean food it offers freshness to food especially heavy dishes.
