Where did BIRRIA tacos come from?

In the heart of Jalisco, Mexico — where the sun hits hard and the spices hit harder — Birria was born.

Birria wasn’t made for fast food.
It was made for weddings.
For homecomings.
For Sundays when love needed a vessel — and food was the only language big enough to hold it.

Birria was — and still is — a ritual of LUV.

It wasn’t just a meal. It was a miracle.
A way for families to turn tough cuts of meat into a dish so rich, so soulful, it wrapped every mouth it touched in flavor and fire.


The consomé (the savory, spicy broth)?
 That was the invitation. The slow-braised meat? That was the blessing. The tacos?
 Just how you caught the soul before it dripped down your wrist.

🌶️ So What Exactly Is Birria? 🌶️

Birria is slow-braised meat — marinated with dozens of spices like guajillo, ancho, clove, cumin, oregano, and garlic — cooked until it practically melts into a rich consomé.

It’s messy.
It’s smoky.
It’s a full-body flavor experience that makes you want to cry a little between bites.

Why birria Feels Out of Reach for Most

The truth?
Real Birria isn’t a 30-minute meal kit.
It’s a labor of LUV:

  • 87 ingredients (if you’re lucky)
  • Half a day of slow simmering
  • A kitchen that smells like heaven and looks like an episode of Kitchen Nightmares

It’s not that people don’t want Birria anymore.
It’s that life moves faster than flavor traditions.

MAKING AUTHENTIC BIRRIA TACOS TAKES ALL DAY

That’s why we created the Birria Luv Bomb.

We didn’t cut corners.
We didn’t "Americanize" it.
We didn’t kill the soul to make it shelf-stable.

Instead, we toasted and hand-blended all the authentic chilies, spices, and love upfront — and packed it into a small bomb of flavor you can drop into your kitchen any night of the week.

Now?

  • You don’t need 87 ingredients.
  • You don’t need a Mexican abuela guiding you step-by-step (though that would be awesome).
  • You don’t need 6 hours and 12 grocery store trips.

You just need meat, broth, and LUV.

Drop the bomb.
Dunk the tacos.
Taste what generations have known forever:

The best memories in life are served messy, slow, and full of JUST ADD LUV.
