Birria Boyz: Feeling hot hot hot – my Yorkshire Evening Post column

Before I started Rate My Takeaway, my experience of Mexican cuisine was nachos and quesadillas normally from

a chain restaurant. It’s not been my go to until recently when I discovered Birria which is slow cooked meat with chillies in broth served with tacos or tortillas and condiments. It wasn’t just the Birria style but Yorkshire’s Birria Boyz twist on it. 

Birria is typically street food and what I love about street food is the fact that stalls pop up everywhere off the beaten track including at pubs and rugby clubs. 

I went to visit Birria Boyz at Moortown Rugby Club. 

The two lads serve up everything from tacos to mac & cheese, loaded fries and nachos. 

This is where my love of the munch box comes to fruition. 

The Birria Box combines the best bits of their menu and wow it was bang on. 

For £40 you get three Beef Tacos, Loaded Beef Chilli Fries, Birria Mac N’ Cheese, six of Honey Sriracha Wings, Cheesy Nachos, Topped With Homemade Guac, Salsa, Chimichurri and Coriander. Served With a Dipping Pot of Consommé. Super cheesy, meaty and flavoursome. 

You can’t help but eat with your eyes as well as your taste buds when it comes to Birria Boyz. Not only is it jam packed with flavour but it’s colourful too. 

They also do vegan options which I clocked as my wife is a vegan. 

Last week I shared some of my favourite places to buy a pizza and I’ve found another to add to the list. Pizza Freak on Kirkstall Road is now my go to pizza place for a Brooklyn style pizza. 

White sauce, pancetta, mushrooms and cheese. Wow.
