Traditional food from Michoacán. From chavindecas, morisqueta, aporradillo. Delicious food and handmade tortillas. They only accept cash. Super mega recommended.

This pace was good; it felt like I was eating at my mom's. Heads up that this place is cash only.

Food is delicious, the place is small and they only take cash so that's an inconvenience. But besides that everything is great! Service is quick and delicious.
If you're a purist at heart, Birrieria Apatzingan is the place for you. This Pacoima restaurant prepares birria the original way: big steaming bowls of slowly-cooked goat sitting in flavorful red consommé. The meat here is cooked to perfection, while the broth is also generously seasoned with hints of cumin, cinnamon, and dried chiles. The subtle sweetness of the soup is definitely a surprise at first, but I like surprises just as much as I like this Michoacan-style birria. Spritz some fresh lime on top and enjoy your caldo with some handmade corn tortillas. If you're visiting in the warmer months and a bowl of hot soup sounds like a sweaty mess waiting to happen, order the equally delicious birria combo that ditches the broth for a side of beans and rice. But still get the tortillas, of course.
