Quesabirria from Patrón Tacos and Cantina

It's Thursday, which means company-sponsored team lunch! With my colleagues on vacation, I had a solo Mexican fiesta at our go-to Patrón Tacos and Cantina.

Two corn tortilla filled with melted cheese, beef birria, onions, cilantro, lime, and sour cream. Served with a birria broth.

I kicked off my meal with my favourite tortilla soup – a comforting blend of smoky guajillo broth, crispy tortilla strips, creamy avocado, tangy sour cream, and salty feta. It's the perfect prelude to any Mexican feast.

But the star of the show was undoubtedly the quesabirria. Two soft corn tortillas cradled a mouthwatering combination of melted cheese and tender, slow-cooked beef birria. The rich, complex flavours of the birria, infused with a hint of spice, were perfectly balanced by the cooling crunch of onions and cilantro. Dipping the tortillas into the accompanying birria broth elevated the experience, creating a symphony of textures and tastes in every bite. The broth itself was a savoury masterpiece, with a deep, earthy flavour that was both satisfying and addictive.

I've sampled a good amount of their menu, but this quesabirria has undeniably claimed the top spot. Patrón Tacos and Cantina continues to impress with its authentic and flavorful offerings.
