I love Mexican food! But I’m not a fan of HOT jalapeno flavors. The first time I tasted Birria tacos was in a restaurant here in Florida. It’s like Mexican auju!! I tried other pre made base sauces, but they were all too hot for me. Chef Merito is not only JUST RIGHT, but it’s also BETTER THAN THE RESTAURANT (so you can make it as hot as you want it Lol)!! Now, I can’t get this flavor out of my head!! I will start with a can of beef, chicken or pork broth, in a crock pot. Add tablespoon/s (depending on the amount of meat) and add desired veggies. After I grill my chosen meat (beef, chicken or pork works!), I add it to the already cooking birria sauce. Later, I pull this beautiful meat out and place it on my tortillas (I love the white corn tortillas!) and add cheese, and a tiny amount of Mexican Crème, and a little of the cooked veggies, then fry them on both sides to crispy. Pour a little of the Birria juice in a small bowl next to your tacos, on a plate!! Instant love!! This is just the way I like it! You can do you, just make sure your base is Chef Merito!!!

At first I was thinking this couldn’t be good. I used slow cooker first time and came out really good. The smell drove me nuts with hunger the entire time it was cooking. Recently I tried those birria balls as the safety seal is known to open up during transport on the jars. I had a spare I totally forgot on top shelf that rescued my experiments with those birria balls. 1 jar with almost 4 lbs of meat was a bit too flavorful and I decided to throw in bland meat from the balls. It completely evened out the blandness from the balls and mellowed the one I just cooked. All in all it tasted so much better. Thinking I’ll stick to this brand from now on.

love the taste. have used it many times. no need to buy a bunch of ingredients for my birria tacos. love it and i keep purchasing

Too spicy imo. Which is unfortunate because the competitor ball version is very expensive, this is a better value, but just can’t handle the heat. If you like spicy things you’ll like it. If I enjoyed it I’d give it 5 stars but dosent take away that it was packaged nice, seal intact, and fresh. Just not for me.

Love this!!! Very strong flavor! Don’t need to use a lot!

I GREW UP WITH THE MOTHER THAT MAKES THEE BEST BIRRIA. UNFORTUNATELY SHE CAN'T GIVE ME THE RECIPE BECAUSE SHE WINGS IT EVERYTIME. THIS ALMOST TASTE THE SAME. THE ONLY BACK DRAW IS IT TENDS TO GET SALTIER BY THE MINUTE. I ADD NO EXTRA INGREDIENTS SO I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENS. OTHER THAN THAT IT IS A GOOD RECIPE.

Had to try as it was highly rated, For being an at home meal this was the closest i’ll ever get to restaurant food. I only did an hour 15 min in the instapot with my other seasoning using pre chopped “stew meat” and the meat was lovely. I used the extra juice / sauce to flavor quinoa and rice for another meal. Only con is it’s highlyyy processed food products and therefor can’t be a staple for me.

I haven't cooked with it yet but we did taste it and it's very tasty, the seal was intact and it arrived quickly I'm looking forward to cooking it with it soon

Excellent for beef birria tacos. It is highly concentrated.

Used this with a beef blade AAA it turned out amazing . It’s salty but adding water as it cooks helps

I LOVE this stuff. It has become a big staple in our home. Yum!

Great flavour
