Birrieria PDX is a Mexican restaurant in Portland, Oregon.
Description and history
[edit]The original Birrieria PDX operates from a red food cart on Division Street in southeast Portland's Centennial neighborhood, serving Mexican cuisine such as birria (including birria tacos and "birriamen",[1] or ramen with birria),[2] quesabirria, rice, beans, shredded meat, horchata, and agua frescas.[3] The Plaza Plate includes a quesadilla, taco, mulita, tostada, and cup of consommé.[4]
The family-owned restaurant opened in August 2020. Spouses Daniel Miranda and Lorena Brambila are co-owners with his sister Grecya Miranda her husband Ivan Uc.[3][5] Since then, the business has expanded; there are four food carts in Portland, as of 2022.[6]
Reception
[edit]
In 2021, Zoe Baillargeon included the Birria Crunch Wrap in Eater Portland's overview of "Where to Find the Cheesiest Dishes in Portland and Beyond", writing:
Another fantastic birria cart, Birrieria's menu is a touch more extensive than others, with things like ramen, birria fries, and 'keto tacos' — birria in a crispy cheese 'tortilla.' But those looking for a true cheese overload should go for the cart's crunch wrap: A UFO-shaped tortilla parcel filled with tender beef, plenty of cheese, two tostadas for crunch, rice and beans, and, for an added cheesy element, Hot Cheetos. Then again, those intimidated by a dish quite this hypebeast can stick to the cart's exceptional quesabirria.[7]
Additionally, the website's Alex Frane described the crunch wrap as "sheer indulgence".[8] He and Ron Scott included the Birria en Caldo in a 2021 list of "Portland's Most Potent Hangover Cures".[9]
Eater Portland's Brooke Jackson-Glidden included the Birria en Caldo in a 2022 list of "17 Sick Day Delivery Standbys to Order in Portland". She wrote, "when feeling under the weather, it's best to stay simple: the birria en caldo is just a tub of the braised beef in its rich broth, with a side of rice and tortillas. Those looking for some sinus-clearing can add a side of the hot salsa, to pour over rice or directly in the soup (not that it needs it)."[10] The website's Katrina Yentch and other staffers also included Birrieria PDX in a list of "22 Go-to Spots for Affordable Dining in Portland".[6]
