The 2020 birria craze is officially over. But that doesn't mean it's wrong to crave tacos or quesadillas stuffed with slowly-simmered beef or goat. And if you're in the mood for just such a crispy, cheesy taco, here are some Miami spots serving solid versions.

Maybe you don’t get why people love birria tacos. We get it. A bad birria taco can be heavy, greasy, and drowning in cheese. But the ones at this taco truck on Bird Road will change a birria skeptic’s mind. The consomme here is fresh, not sitting out in a bain-marie until it gets so concentrated it tastes like salty red water. The broth is more vinegary and velvety. And the birria con queso tacos you’re dunking in it are laced with the perfect amount of cheese.

El Primo Red Tacos hopped on the 2020 birria train and never got off. This casual Downtown taqueria takes birria and applies it to everything you can imagine: smashburgers, nachos, and tostadas. They have about five tacos on the menu, but the contents are mostly the same—and always involve birria. These aren’t tacos so good you'll write about them in your journal—they’re the kind that gets the job done on a Monday when you need a quick lunch to silence the stomach gurgles. For those occasions, our favorite order here is the quesabirria.

Inside this slightly overwhelming Downtown food hall, there is a taco stand called Tacotomia. They offer birria tacos, but will also stuff it inside their machete too—an oblong quesadilla roughly the size and shape of an actual machete. They'll crisp it up a bit on the flat top and it's big enough for two people to share.
