Their birria tacos are good, I'd say on par with the stuff I've had in TJ. But you should try actual birria at some point. The tacos are good, but birria is a whole experience especially if it's made the way it's supposed to be. With goat, not beef.

It's not a hard recipe, but difficult to perfect. I've tried to impress my friends back home but they're always like "nah, it's missing something" but never can explain what it is.

pho on a tortilla? I'll have to check that out, I'm cautiously skeptical but I'll keep an open mind :)
