Jalisco-style goat birria, quesabirrias, barbacoa and cabeza with handmade tortillas and a bowl of consomé — on Cermak Road in Little Village.
Birrieria La Tapatia de Ocotlán serves traditional Jalisco birria at 2861 W Cermak Rd. Tender goat slow-cooked in a rich, not-too-spicy consomé, served with fresh onion, cilantro, lime and tortillas made by hand.
Feeding a crowd? Order birria and barbacoa by the pound, or a whole chivo with gallons of consomé for your party.
