Birria is definitely a popular item among Mexican restaurants these days, and "fusion" is a concept many restaurants have adopted. Del Taco is fusing Birria with a Japanese favorite to offer Birria Ramen. According to a press release, this makes Del Taco -- which has about 600 locations -- "largest ramen restaurant chain in the country."
The company also is offering birria tacos with birria quesadillas, both with consomé dip.
"As part of our Del Taco Better Mex brand promise we wanted to serve this unique Mexican street food experience to our guests with truly authentic flavors in our new Shredded Beef Birria and consomé,” said Tim Hackbardt, Del Taco’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Our Shredded Beef Birria tacos and quesadilla deliver the classic experience of dipping them into the savory consomé before eating while the ramen provides a unique flavor explosion of hot consomé filled with wavy noodles and authentic birria in a cup. With this introduction, we will not only be the first major quick-service restaurant chain to offer ramen, overnight we will become the largest restaurant chain in the country to serve ramen.” Del Taco’s three Shredded Beef Birria items include:
- Two Shredded Beef Birria Tacos with consomé dip ($8.59): Del Taco’s Shredded Beef Birria tacos start with fresh house-grated cheddar cheese, melted between two fresh grilled corn tortillas, filled with tender and savory shredded beef birria, topped with diced onions and chopped cilantro. Served with two fresh-cut limes and a side of flavorful consomé for dipping.
- Shredded Beef Birria Quesadilla with consomé dip ($6.79): The Shredded Beef Birria Quesadilla features savory shredded beef birria, fresh house-grated cheddar cheese and tangy green sauce folded into a flour tortilla and flat grilled to perfection.
- Shredded Beef Birria Ramen ($5.79): Del Taco’s Shredded Beef Birria Ramen includes the company's beef broth consomé with fresh wavy ramen noodles, tender and savory shredded beef birria topped with diced onions and chopped cilantro, and a fresh-cut lime wedge.
In addition to the Birria items, Del Taco is launching a NEW Cookie Butter Shake featuring Biscoff® Cookie Butter and Biscoff® Cookie Crumbles for a limited time. The Biscoff® Cookie Butter Shake ($4.49) is a vanilla shake blended with Biscoff® Cookie Butter and Biscoff® Cookie Crumbles.
