Birria LES Williamsburg 8.5
Williamsburg
Halal-focused birria specialists turning out dunkable tacos, tostadas, and birria-topped snacks in a lucha-libre-decorated room just off Bedford. It’s the neighborhood’s go-to when people specifically want consommé-dipped tacos or late-night Mexican that still feels like a sit-down meal.
Must-Try Dishes: Beef birria tacos with consomé, Surf & Turf birria taco, Esquites with birria and Hot Cheetos
