Birria is the slow-cooked goat (or lamb) stew of Jalisco, marinated in adobo of dried chiles, garlic and spices, simmered in broth and served with consome and handmade tortillas.
Birria originated in Jalisco, where the term was first used in the 19th century for meats cooked in a pit or earth oven. Cuban scholar Felix Ramos y Duarte documented the term in 1898 as goat barbacoa, and historian Leovigildo Islas Escarcega confirmed its Jaliscan origin in 1945. The Nueve Esquinas plaza area of Centro Historico has been the canonical Guadalajara birria district for generations; Birrieria Las 9 Esquinas joined the row in 1986. In 1950 Guadalupe Zarate introduced beef birria with consome in Tijuana, and the quesabirria fusion exploded in North America in the 2010s.
