18th st pier is being converted into luxury rentals. No more ICP or Midget wrestling here. Just birria tacos
a friend of mine just made these from a pig his son reared, says they turned out well: https://honest-food.net/tacos-de-ca...-HkCQJKRzEFGkjfV4ncPFP0NY-t7fGdh8X8eFc239kfp4
Al Pastor is just one of those things I've never tried to do at home, like gyro. It's doable on a grill but.... That looks delicious though, and gives me ideas. eta: the Mom marinated fajitas the other night with this recipe and invited me over to grill them (I know, Paula Deen, but still), it's simple but straight-up legit tasty. Very close to the flavor of the good Houston fajitas. Used limes not lemons, threw some serranos in the bag, added a spoon of soy sauce... https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/gold-medal-sizzling-fajitas-recipe-1949930
Gonna try al pastor in the coming weekends. Best tacos I've ever had was at El Fogon (out of the tourist district) in Playa Del Carmen. About $.85 a taco, too.
I'm a big fan of the Cuban tacos at El Rey. beef...black beans...plantains. The 1810 taco at Luchi & Joey's is another favorite.
Not sure what a Cuban beef taco is This has led to the local joke that you can get more prison time for killing a cow than a human being. https://www.reuters.com/world/ameri...lations-killing-cows-selling-beef-2021-04-14/
Still haven't had Birria Tacos, but I'm planning on doing brunch there soon enough. The girls have an issue with going away from the heights area, but there past few places have sucked. https://www.urbehouston.com/menus/#brunch Here's our Houston homie showing us how it's done in case I have to make them myself...
It's amusing to me that birria is now some new instagrammable popular thing, yet it's been around for as long as I can remember.
This new place has been getting a lot of love on Twitter. Nice Houston theme throughout the restaurant.
