    🌮 Let’s taco ‘bout it

    When we shared the news of El Segundo closing on Instagram, a concerned commenter wondered where the next best spot for birria tacos was.

    Luckily, fellow taco-fanatics started shelling out responses:

    “2 Brothers taco truck in Grandview.”
    Order three birria tacos for $12.

    "@losagavez all day brother.”
    This food truck specializes in Tijuana-style birria.

    “Yellis in Sunbury is pretty good.”
    Birria tacos are $3 each.

    “Local Cantina is a good spot...”
    Order the plate of two birria tacos and consommé for $11.

    "@las.tapias.birria is superb! @ajstacos too … Both on west side of Columbus — check out their reviews.”
    Not only can you order birria tacos, but you can also find birria quesadillas and ramen.

    “I had some good ones at @agaveandrye the other day.”
    Order “The Gangsta” taco or the birria Irish nachos.

    Drop a comment of your own to keep the conversation going.

    From the editor
    I mixed up my times and missed the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin over the weekend, but I stopped in for brunch at Urban Meyer’s Pint House to make the trip worth it.
