I am on the hunt for the best birria tacos in the Twin Cities. This was my third birria tasting. This local restaurant at 1526 East Lake Street has the real deal. Birria essentially is long braised meat in a mixture of spices. It is tender and flavorful. They have birria de borrego (sheep), birria de chivo (goat), and birria de res (beef) on soft tortillas or fried (dorado), complete with consomme, limes, and radishes. They were delicious! One of their specialties is quesadilla birria, loads of birria meat and loads of cheese inside a large fried flour tortilla. This is really, really good. I highly recommend you try this one. They have an extensive menu of many other items such as traditional tacos, including lengua and others, and a wide range of things like shrimp ceviche. The prices are great, and the food is very good. I had their horchata. While it was a bit on the sweet side, it was also quite good. We didn't get any, but they also have a selection of desserts, such as tres leches cake. Please bring your patience, as a lot of Spanish is spoken here. However, everyone was cheery and helpful. You cannot go wrong here. These were quite excellent birria tacos!!

Total score: 70/100 The best birria tacos I’ve ever eaten. Must visit Micro ratings Location: 7/10 Interior design: 5/10 Cleanliness: 5/10 Macro ratings Food (flavour and presentation): 25/30 Service: 12/20 Price: 16/20 Conclusion: Despite some criticisms of Lake St, I actually really like the diverse feel, murals and vibe of the location. Taqueria y birrieria las cuatro milpas is situated on the corner of the intersection with accessible street parking. I’ve now visited this location several times and It has a very homey feel that makes you feel welcomed. I’m not sure if this is a family owned business but the flavours sure do support that idea, two words: comfort food. The service and cleanliness is average as you’d expect, nothing to highlight but the price point and the food shines high above all the other rating factors. If you only order one thing from here it has to be the birria tacos 🌮. The meat is soft and tender, the consome is rich and well seasoned, the tacos are crisp and delicious. Ohh and did I forget to mention the condiments? Chef’s kiss. This spot is a must visit from yours truly, TheMenuBoy.

When you enter the restaurant you are greeted with authenticity; each TV is displaying some iconic cultural fare. Brass blares through speakers accompanying a heartfelt Spanish ballad. A charreada is on another screen with a cowboy showing off. The scene was set. Customers were many and varied. Locals from down the block, gringos (like me) clearly out of place, all sorts from all walks, but all here for the same reason: good damn Mexican food. This was encouraging. I ordered birria, adobado, and asada tacos. The birria were excellent while the consomme was deep and rich. Light on the cheese, but not too light; just enough to entice me back for more. I washed this all down with an agua fresca, pineapple. Delicious. I can't stress enough how much value there is to be had here. $15 was well enough to fill me up, but I have to admit I could've spent more time (and money) putting away taco after taco just to enjoy the scene.

A bit confused about my experience here. First time ordering, and maybe its better in person, but I Doordashed, 3x Tacos De Birrira, 3x Tacos Dorados de Birria, and a Quesabirria. I was expecting something flavorful, beefy, cheesy, with grilled tortillas that were dipped in the fat from the stew with a side cup of consomme with that gorgeous deep color for dipping. These were just plain corn tortillas, no cheese, shredded beef with onions and cilantro. They were dry, and I was hoping the cup of consomme would have helped out. But after taking a sip straight from the styrofoam cup, there was no beef flavor, just watered down tomato flavor. The Quesabirria at least had cheese and was a bit more flavorful then the tacos. But I was hoping for bold delicious flavors like the other comments suggested and did not find it here. Maybe it was an off night, but I did not find the flavor I was looking for.

This place was amazing. Service couldn't be friendlier. Food portions are good and so are prices. Somewhat easy street parking, there is a lot across the street too. The place is clean and the ambiance is nice, of course it is Mexican oriented theme. That makes it more authentic. Nice to choose booths or table. The menu is extensive and I tried ceviche and tacos and both were amazing. The ceviche plate was pleasantly surprising. Might be the best ceviche plate I have had in all of twin cities. Flavors were right on point. During my visit seems AC gets short with all the windows and a really warm day outside, this should be a minor thing happening maybe 4 weeks in a whole year in Minneapolis. As with many restaurants I prefer refillable soda station. Overall the place is perfect with flavors and value. I will be a regular for sure.
