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.
