💯 % you can’t really get authentic Birria tacos in Manchester. Nothing like Teddy red tacos. I buy the recado and the dried chillis from Central America and make Birria myself. As far as bland flavours go in the U.K. I think this is very untrue. The best Indian food would rival the best Mexican food for layers of flavour. London metro area had the same population as L.A metro area it’s a melting pot of all nationalities around the world. You have to remeber as well Birria is not American. I was brought up in L.A and Orange county. I’d say the traditional u.k Sunday roast which is the national dish of the uk tasted better than the national dish of America which would be burger and fries ect

Would highly recommend going through that area, Olympic & Soto would be the main streets getting off the Fwy.

[@xaviergomez602]

Ok, immediately a few common mistakes: - the lime Is there for a reason - birria is usually served either in tacos (soft or fried) or as a meaty soup. Both cases you must add onion, cilantro, lime and hot arbol sauce - you normally add the consomé to your taco with your spoon; each bite - you must prepare the consomé with onion, cilantro, lime and arbol salsa - the quesabirria its kinda new even in México - the birriamen was originated in México for sure (Maruchan)
