About Birria Quesa Tacos

Tucked into Syracuse’s West Onondaga Street, Birria Quesa Tacos is a must-visit for anyone craving bold, authentic Mexican flavor with a twist. Specializing in Jalisco-style birria tacos and quesadillas, this vibrant spot is all about slow-cooked meat, house-made corn tortillas, and soul-warming consommé. The birria—beef or chicken—is stewed for hours in a rich chili broth, then folded into golden, cheese-filled tortillas and served with a side of deeply spiced broth that brings every bite to life. It’s Mexican comfort food at its finest, crafted with care and tradition.

What sets Birria Quesa apart is its commitment to freshness and originality. Nearly everything is made in-house—from the tortillas and salsas to the consommé—and it shows in every bite. Alongside classic tacos and quesadillas, the menu pushes boundaries with dishes like birria fries, birria ramen, shrimp quesadillas, and even Salvadoran pupusas and empanadas. Whether you're indulging in loaded fries drenched in consommé or trying the seafood spin with shrimp birria tacos, the flavor never misses. Reviewers rave about the perfect texture of the tacos—not soggy, just right—and the generous portions that don’t hold back.

Open late on weekends (until 3 AM Friday and Saturday), it’s the go-to spot for a midnight snack or post-event feast. With high marks across Yelp and DoorDash (4.6★ and 4.5★ respectively), plus plenty of parking and comfy seating, Birria Quesa Tacos blends authenticity, creativity, and convenience. If you’re in Syracuse, this is one birria experience you don’t want to miss—especially if you know the joy of dipping a taco into a cup of rich, chili-spiked consommé. Grab a friend, come hungry, and prepare to be hooked.

“ Adorable dining space, comfortable seating, handicap access and free parking are icing. The star of the show is THE best Mexican food in Syracuse. I have tried so many since moving here from California and been so disappointed. Today I found a taste of home. True Mexican flavors that send your senses reeling. Welcoming staff, large servings and everything made IN HOUSE (including corn tortillas)!!!! You cannot go wrong. Get over here quick so you can say you knew them before they had lines down the block. ”

“ Ordered the Birra Beef Tacos they are HUGE! I’m Dairy Free so I ordered them just the beef with consumer and lime. They stand tall with deep flavor on their own. 10/10 recommend. Candi is carrying her family’s recipes to the present with pride and perfect execution! Everyone is working hard and carry themselves with great customer engagement. I will certainly be back when I can! ”
