Burritos: A flour tortilla wrapped around a filling. Northern Mexican burritos are often relatively slender and focused on one or two fillings such as beans, machaca or a guisado. In the United States, the form developed in several directions. San Francisco's Mission burrito is large and typically includes rice, beans and numerous fillings. San Diego's California burrito famously adds french fries. A wet burrito is covered in sauce and eaten with a knife and fork. On this menu as: Burritos and Tacos · Nikko's Special Super Burrito · Lime Steak Burrito.
Carne asada: Grilled beef, chopped or sliced for tacos, burritos and plates. Skirt, flank and other relatively thin cuts are common, with seasoning ranging from little more than salt to marinades containing citrus, garlic or other ingredients. Carne asada is particularly associated with northern Mexico and is also the name for the social tradition of gathering around a grill for a carne asada cookout. On this menu as: Carne Asada Platter.
Barbacoa: A family of slow-cooked meat preparations rather than one single recipe. Traditional styles in central Mexico may use lamb or goat cooked slowly, historically in an earth oven and sometimes wrapped in maguey leaves. In northern Mexico and Texas, beef and especially beef cheek are common. Barbacoa is often associated with weekend mornings and may be served with a broth or consomé produced during cooking. On this menu as: Birria or Barbacoa Platter.
Birria: A richly seasoned meat stew associated with Jalisco, traditionally made with goat but now frequently prepared with beef as well. The meat is braised with dried chiles and spices and may be served in a bowl with broth or used as a taco filling. Modern birria tacos are often griddled after the tortillas are dipped in the cooking fat. Add cheese and you'll commonly see the name quesabirria. A cup of consomé for dipping often comes alongside. On this menu as: Birria or Barbacoa Platter.
