Taco Time: Birria Las Margaritas

Taco Time: Birria Las Margaritas

Birria ‘Las Margaritas’
Las Margaritas, located just outside La Merced’s huge main market building, is a modest stand made up of a couple of tables enclosing the cooking area. But don’t be put off by the apparent simplicity because this family, originally from Guadalajara, prepares some of the richest beef birria in town. We usually stop for a couple of tacos with all the trimmings accompanied with a small bowl of poetically rich consommé.

Birria Las Margaritas
Just outside “Puerta 29” of the nave mayor, La Merced ( in the covered passage parallel to Avenida Anillo de Circunvalación, and near Calle Cerrada del Rosario
