Barca Restaurant

You’re coming to this family-run joint for the birria—arguably the finest on the North Side—which is slowly simmered and then coated in chile paste before being roasted. Order it by the pound and make tacos you’ll dream about over and over with the accompanying tortillas and fixins’. Or for an east-west mashup, try the birria egg rolls. On weekends, specials like menudo are also available.
