Never heard of those two places you mentioned in the Heights.<br /><br />Let me know if you find anything else.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689118444867837021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855897705208332617.post-88798710524452721202009-05-11T11:36:00.000-05:002009-05-11T11:36:00.000-05:00Gerardo's is delicious.

Borrego is usually mutton and regular Barbacoa I always took to mean steamed cow head. I was actually there twice last week trying to get a pork dish and both times they didn't have it. They told me only on Thursday and Friday.<br /><br />I went to Celaya on Friday and they didn't have anything that looked that great, plus I was there for the Birria, so I didn't stick around.<br /><br />The barbacoa at Casa Grande over near 45 north and Main was delicious the last time I was there. They had cabrito as well, but it was pricey. <br /><br />The barbacoa plate at La Jaliscience on Yale and 13th is the best deal in town. 5 or 6 bucks for a pound of barbacoa. <br /><br />I'm always looking, but I tend to stay near the Heights/Montrose as thats where I live.Rubiaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094661174218777843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855897705208332617.post-55907022635622979812009-05-08T12:37:00.000-05:002009-05-08T12:37:00.000-05:00Correction - I got that phone # for Milpa Real wro...Correction - I got that phone # for Milpa Real wrong.

Borrego seems a lot more common than birria around here.<br /><br />There’s a birrireria right next door to Tortilleria La Reyna, Bissonnet @ Hillcroft; I had some birria from there once. At the time I understood birria always meant goat but I think that’s not necessarily the case. I thought what I got was goat but I didn’t think it was as good as Trudis.<br /><br />There’s a new place on W. Bellfort next door to Taqueria 100% Michoacan called Tortilleria Milpa Real. I’ve been in several times but they haven’t had anything to serve most times. I got some pretty good tamales but want to try the pollo rostizado. A sign in the window says Birria de Chivo on weekends. 281-879-0409 if you want to give them a call.<br /><br />Ostoneria La Michoacana on Bissonnet @ Lugary, just up from Sharpstown Hi has a sign in the window which says Borrego but on the menu it’s translated as goat. I went a couple of times but food went down hill and the place has changed names so I don’t know if the menu has changed. Check b4 for a phone # for the old place. I never tried their borrego.<br /><br />You might check Supermercado Teloloapan - can’t remember what all they had on their menu.<br /><br />You probably know of the borrego at Gerardo’s on Patton which contains both lamb and goat?<br /><br />I had cabrito at Casa de Leon on Longpoint once and I remember they had other goat dishes on the menu but can’t remember what. Check the Press for Walsh’s review - he may mention more. For that matter, search the Press restaurant archives for mentions of chivo. Seems to me I first heard of birria de chivo from a taco truck review by Walsh but can’t remember where it was. I have seen other taco trucks around the SW side with birria listed but never tried any.<br /><br />I had birria at Altamirano a long time ago but it is not on their menu anymore.<br /><br />Please let me know what you find and what you think is good.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689118444867837021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855897705208332617.post-70031499339968253392009-05-08T11:03:00.000-05:002009-05-08T11:03:00.000-05:00In your exploration of Houston have you found many...In your exploration of Houston have you found many places that serve Birria de Chivo or Barbacoa de Chivo? I used to go to that little place Trudi's on Beechnut and Bissonet, but the hours are hilariously limited. I've tried El Hidalguense, the one on Long Point though there are a few of them, but the cabrito is way overpriced. Strangely enough, I was at Max's Wine Dive (an unusual occurrence) a few nights ago and they had Birria de Chivo on their menu, though somehow they braised most of the goat taste out of it. Even so it was pretty tasty.<br /><br />I'm going to try this place today as I find most places include Fridays as the weekend when it comes to Barbacoa. Any other places you've found good goat?Rubiaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094661174218777843noreply@blogger.com
