Birria Brothers

You're walking down Oldham Street in the Northern Quarter and the smell hits you first—that deep, slow-cooked birria that's been simmering for hours. This is proper Mexican comfort food, the kind that doesn't need to shout about itself. Birria Brothers keeps things focused: they've nailed the tacos, and they're not interested in doing anything else. The consomé is rich and meaty, the tortillas are soft, and they're not stingy with the fillings. It's the sort of place where you roll up, order at the counter, and stand there wondering how something this good manages to keep such a low profile.
