Here in the UK there a few places where you can eat birria tacos, but the few ones out there do them very well... birria is a warm hug on a winter's day, with the combination of rich consomé (thick broth) and tortilla taco filled with lots of meat!!! can't go wrong!

Dawg it’s called pronouncing it in an accent. When you speak a certain language you have some kind of accent and that affects the way you pronounce words from different languages. It’s like when native Spanish speakers say things like “Junited State” instead of “untied states” or French people say “Amburger” instead of “hamburger” lmao. Take a linguistics class before u try to get elitist.

Wholesome, cheeky, joyful, Harry and Joe food tours always delivers! No disrespect to the other awesome insider food hosts and formats, but the chemistry between these two can't be beaten, particularly when exploring more than just big fast food chains. ❤ Please keep going forever!

I live in El Paso and all of our birria spots have ramen, too. I think it's a pretty common thing. We do elote ramen too, so I think ramen noodles are just one of those things you can kind of throw in whatever tasty liquid you want.

Luv this series much more than food wars
I’d love to see Harry and Joe try out the following: an international delicacy that’s either common or not, or just like how they did the UK/US swap food wars, I’d be curious to see how Harry would react to trying a fish n chips place in the US or vice versa for Joe with American food in the UK for example…! There’s so many possibilities with this series and I’m glad I’ve been rewatching this series because this popped up (albeit a wee bit later for me since I just logged in)! Also just noticed they’re in LA!!! 🤩🤩 I hope they can try out some Korean BBQ or even Japanese food, something outside their comfort zone 🤔
Got nothing like this where I live...nothing at all. Think I need to book a flight because that food looked amazing!

💯 % you can’t really get authentic Birria tacos in Manchester. Nothing like Teddy red tacos. I buy the recado and the dried chillis from Central America and make Birria myself. As far as bland flavours go in the U.K. I think this is very untrue. The best Indian food would rival the best Mexican food for layers of flavour. London metro area had the same population as L.A metro area it’s a melting pot of all nationalities around the world. You have to remeber as well Birria is not American. I was brought up in L.A and Orange county. I’d say the traditional u.k Sunday roast which is the national dish of the uk tasted better than the national dish of America which would be burger and fries ect
