Gracias Señor, Rudy Barrientos' mighty, mighty taco truck in Pacific Palisades, is now offering birria de res on Wednesdays only. The recipe contains tendon, which the taquero tells us, "gives it a richer, more decadent flavor." The birria can be found in tacos, tortas, burritos, tostadas, and birria nachos. The weekly offering is fueled by Barrientos' goal of teaching one of his team member the art and skills to operate his own business. But really, we all win.
Wednesdays, 15120 W. Sunset Blvd. Pacific Palisades, CA 90272. Closest transit lines and stop: Metro Bus Line 602 or Santa Monica Big Blue Bus Line 9 - "Sunset/Carey."
