Birrias, Chivos & Cheves
Birrias, Chivos & Cheves is a Guadalajara-style birria restaurant on Highland Avenue in National City, specializing in goat birria and inexpensive birria tacos.
Overview
The restaurant is at 2401 Highland Avenue, Suite 104. Its name strings together three bits of Mexican slang and food vocabulary: birria, chivos (goats) and cheves (beers). The San Diego Reader's restaurant listing describes it as a Guadalajara-style kitchen built around goat, with a rich flavor that is not overly gamey, and inexpensive prices.
Menu
The centerpiece is birria de chivo, goat stewed in a chile broth and served with its consommé and tortillas in full or half orders. Birria tacos are sold individually, and the quesabirria frita is a deep-fried, empanada-like pocket of shredded beef and cheese. The menu also extends to tortas ahogadas with chicken or carne asada, cahuamanta seafood soup, menudo, chilaquiles, a huarache Azteca and flan for dessert.
