BIRRIA PA LA CRUDA ~ EL SERENO
Birria Pa La Cruda, former Otium butcher Carlos Jaquez'’s birria de res pop-up, is opening a permanent location in El Sereno this Sunday, taking over the former space occupied by Los Dorados. The opening kicks off at 10 a.m. with a Chumash prayer ceremony.
Jaquez will be offering tacos, quesatacos, quesadillas, mulitas, and burritos with your choice of birria de res, pollo asado, or mushrooms en salsa verde, as well as consome and birria-by-the-pound. Tortillas come from Kernel of Truth.
In addition, there will be a sweet potato tamal with date mole and escabeche; papas machas with an almond salsa macha and green onion ranch; a weekday-only wild rice bowl with beans, escabeche, guacamole, and your choice of protein, and only on weekends, chilaquiles pipian with a poached egg, crema, and cotija.
