Birrieria Jalisco

There’s great Mexican food to be had all over Ft Worth but if you want something a little different give Birriera Jalisco a shot. Located in the bustling food court at La Gran Plaza (there’s also a N. Main location), this family run operation makes everything from scratch. It’s getting harder and harder to find tortillas ‘hecho a mano’, they make some of the best you’ll ever eat here. Their signature dish, birria, is slow roasted goat that is incredibly tender and without a hint of gaminess. My favorite is the Pierna (pork leg) Ranchera, slow cooked in a perfectly blended sauce of tomatoes, onions and jalapeños. Sop up the excess juice with the soft, fragrant corn tortillas – it will get your endorphins buzzing!
