Tacos Plaza
Fast-casual taqueria in the Shoppes at Zion built around birria — beef slow-braised in chilli until it shreds.
Birria arrived in the United States from Jalisco and spread widely in the 2020s; this is where St. George gets it.
Background
Birria is goat or beef braised for hours with dried chillies until it shreds, and it comes from Jalisco; the quesabirria taco — filled, folded, crisped on the griddle in the fat, and served with a cup of the braising liquid to dip — is a later border-region development that spread across the United States through the 2020s. Consommé is that braising broth, strained. Pizzabirria and birria ramen are further hybrids of the same idea.
