Mika’s Birria Tacos aren’t just a dish, they are an experience, fusing rich flavours, textures and traditions into every tasty bite.

At Mika, the secret to their outstanding birria tacos begins with the selection of high quality, tender beef cheeks, meticulously marinated in a full-flavoured blend of traditional spices such as dried guajillo, ancho, pasilla chiles or garlic, oregano, cumin, and hints of, cinnamon and cloves.

These spices all work in perfect harmony to tantalise your tastebuds. The meat is then marinated and braised to perfection in order to achieve unparalleled tenderness and taste after absorbing the deep, smokey and slightly spicy flavours. The result is a succulent, aromatic stew which promises satisfaction.

What truly elevates Mika’s Birria Tacos is their authentic method of preparation.

The stewed meat is shredded and stuffed into original gluten free tortillas and subsequently dipped in rich, flavourful fat skimmed from the consommé, the luscious broth created during the braising process.

The generously filled tortillas are then crisped to perfection of the griddle offering an irresistible crunch on the outside which perfectly compliments the juicy filling within.

Every serving of Mika’s Birria Tacos are traditionally topped with freshly chopped onion, fragrant cilantro and a healthy squeeze of lime, adding brightness and zest to the rich flavours.

As tradition dictates, Mika serves this dish alongside a steaming bowl of consommé, perfect for dipping and enhancing the birria taco experience. Think of these tacos like a unique Mexican twist on a French dip sandwich, but with more of a powerful Mexican punch.

Birria tacos have increased in popularity with explosive intensity, especially on social media, with variations such as the melted cheese loaded “Quesa Birria” appearing.
