Birria — a traditional Mexican dish of beef, lamb or goat slow-cooked in adobo — is prepared with a fragrant array of spices and is often garnished with cilantro, onion and lime. The dish has undergone a renaissance in recent years, wherein its stewed-til-tender, melt-off-the-bone meat is tucked into a corn tortilla with cheese and fried in fat until crisp. The tacos are served with a side of consommé, or residual stew broth, for dipping.

The result is quesabirria, or cheese birria, a rich and flavorful hybrid dish that’s undeniably decadent. Also called tacos de birria, this dish was popularized in California after making its way up through northern Mexico. It has since taken over the NYC taco scene, with Bushwick being a prime destination for birria-style tacos. Here are five places to try in the neighborhood if you’re a quesabirria fanatic (or if you’re ready to become one).
