If you’ve been craving birria tacos in Pompano Beach, you’re not alone — this rich, slow-braised Mexican dish has become one of the most-searched taco styles in South Florida, and Baresco has made it a local favorite.
What makes birria tacos different
Birria started as a Jalisco-style stewed meat dish, traditionally goat, now most often beef, braised for hours in a blend of dried chiles, garlic, and warm spices until it falls apart. At Baresco, that braise becomes the base for tacos dorados: corn tortillas dipped in the rendered consomé, griddled until crisp, then packed with tender meat, onion, and cilantro. Each order comes with a cup of consomé for dipping — the part that turns a good taco into a great one.
Why Pompano Beach is the place to order them
Birria tacos are everywhere right now, but the setting is what separates a quick bite from an occasion. Baresco, a waterfront Mexican restaurant near Pompano Beach Pier, sits on the water at 225 N Pompano Beach Blvd, with an open-air patio just steps from the sand. Order a plate of birria tacos with a salt-rimmed margarita, and you get the ocean breeze along with the food — something a strip-mall taco counter can’t offer.
Pairing suggestions
- House Margarita — classic lime and tequila, built to cut through the richness of the braise
- Spicy Margarita — jalapeño-infused, for guests who want more heat
- Horchata or a Mexican Coke, for a non-alcoholic pairing that still stands up to the flavor
When to go
Birria tacos are on the menu daily, but Tuesdays are the move: Baresco’s Taco Tuesday specials bring $5 chicken or beef tacos, $8 chef’s choice tacos, and $12 nachos, alongside $5 house margaritas and $30 pitchers. It’s the easiest way to try a few styles in one visit.
