Not sure how it happened, but birria was shoved to the forefront of food trends for some time and El Cora is the best of them. El Cora is located inside a gas station. Enough said. You know when a food establishment is located inside a market or gas station, it's some good eats. You order, pay and wait the agonizing, what seems like forever wait. The wait is long but totally worth it, as you watch the ladies cook up all that deliciousness. Most quesabirria tacos are a greasy, soppy, soft mess. The quesabirria here is cooked low and slow, so they came out crispy and stayed crispy. They load so much cheese, you get a nice cheese pull when biting into the tacos. They serve goat (chivo) or beef (res), but the goat is much better. The consomé has so much flavor and hunks of meat, you'd think you got a side of soup. Their salsa has some good heat to it. Whenever I'm in the mood for birria, this is the spot I go to. I've been coming here for years and it's still as good as the first time I tried them. Consistently delicious!
The food was very delicious, especially the goat birria.
This place has THEE best birria tacos and consome. You’d never believe it’s located in a gas station. The taco shells are dipped in the consome before frying to get that taste and texture. Then they add heaps of beef. And you have to get an order of consome, it’s thick, rich and comes with chunks of beef. It’s practically a beef soup by itself! I really wish this place wasn’t across town from me or I might be visiting a dangerously amount of times. Seriously come here. After having the birria tacos and consome here, I haven’t been able to find another place in Sacramento. The only down side I really don’t like is that blast the music way to loud in there! I get it you want to play music to fit the vibe of your food and that’s all fine, but the noice is just too loud. Atmosphere would be a lot better is they simply lowered the volume.
