- We’re at peak birria these days, where every taqueria in town seems to have adopted its own version. Though this food trend is new to the U.S., birria itself has been around for quite some time. In fact, birria is a perfect collection of some of humanity’s oldest cooking techniques and ingredients merged together into one perfect hand-held treat. It’s a dish that owes its existence to the perseverence of ancient traditions that span thousands of years, across all sides of the globe.

About Beyond The Menu:
The story of the food on your plate is more than just the recipe. Each ingredient and every cooking technique goes back hundreds if not thousands of years, traversing the globe on a wildly delicious cross-cultural adventure. In KQED’s new digital food series Beyond The Menu, host Cecilia Phillips interviews chefs, authors, and other experts to dig up surprising facts on the cultural pathways of today’s trendiest dishes. It’s a history show, it’s a mystery series, it’s a celebration of multicultural cuisine, sometimes it’s even a science program, all set against the backdrop of mouth-watering food cinematography.

🐐🌮You already knew birria is the GOAT, now you know what goats have to do with the history of the dish.
She’s not wrong about El Garage. One of the best taco spots in the east bay.
This is fascinating, and I'm so hungry now. Thank you.
This video is like a warm hug in the form of pixels and sound. So comforting!
So excited that Beyond the Menu is getting DEEEEP with the food history!
I clicked on this cuz I was hungry. Why can't this place be down the street from me? 🤣🌮🌮🌮
I don't eat beef, but damn do I want a birria taco now.
As a gringo, I have been going to my local Birria spot and ordering carne asada or California burritos, or been burritos, I need to try their queso Birria tacos!

People really been eatin' food this whole time? Wild.
We used to walk down the street for Taco Tuesday at Efran's, and I would order what I called "The whole barnyard." Two chicken, two pork, two beef and two goat. I was kind of heartbroken when I found out that I wasn't really getting goat.
You got me at tacos!! I would rather mine be beef please😂 goat isn’t a thing I crave. Oregon USA here😋
Love this!! Adobo makes everything better! 😊
Birria is from Jalisco and the juice is called consome

Never heard of a birria taco but it looks pretty good. Does Taco Bell have this on their menu?
Some locations actually do have a version of this.
birria is the only mexican food i like. but godamn is it beast
Come to Hawaii
literally paused the video to go buy tacos and come back
This is the vibe we all aspire to.
so it went from iguana meat (the aztecs), to goat (mestizos), to beef (gringo mexican)....very interesting.

there's no such thing as too cheesy
This is a fact.
Tee-huana..
"Ancient" ?
Everybody is lying about it. It is a new food or invention from California or New York. But Birria tacos is clearly not mexican. Probably some roots and ingredients. Everybody ishould stop lying.
