Tampa Bay’s latest food craze? Quesabirria tacos

The cheesy, beef-filled tacos are creating a buzz at local restaurants and food trucks.

Quesabirria tacos are served at Tacos Las Californias, a new Mexican restaurant on Armenia Avenue in Tampa. The tacos, traditionally served with a chili-rich beef birria, or stew, have been popular in California for many years and recently started showing up on Tampa Bay menus. [ SCOTT KEELER | Times ]
