Roasted beef marrow bones skewered over birria tacos topped with cilantro and onion, with lime and a cup of chile-flecked consomé, at Tuétano Taquería in Chula Vista

Birria: A richly seasoned meat stew associated with Jalisco, traditionally made with goat but now frequently prepared with beef as well. The meat is braised with dried chiles and spices and may be served in a bowl with broth or used as a taco filling. Modern birria tacos are often griddled after the tortillas are dipped in the cooking fat. Add cheese and you'll commonly see the name quesabirria. A cup of consomé for dipping often comes alongside. On this menu as: Birria con Tuétano.
Chorizo: Mexican chorizo is generally a fresh, seasoned sausage rather than the firm cured sausage associated with Spain. Pork is common, along with dried chiles, vinegar and spices. The casing is often removed before cooking so the sausage can crumble into eggs, potatoes, tacos or melted cheese. Longaniza is a related sausage with regional variations of its own, while green chorizo is particularly associated with Toluca and the State of Mexico. On this menu as: Longaniza Tacos.
Salsa verde & roja: Salsa verde is a broad category of green salsa, commonly built around tomatillos and green chiles. Salsa roja simply means red salsa and covers countless recipes using tomatoes, dried chiles, fresh chiles or combinations of them. Salsa taquera is the kind of salsa made specifically for tacos and varies from shop to shop. Salsa macha, associated especially with Veracruz, is an oil-based salsa made with dried chiles and often nuts or seeds. Color is not a dependable heat scale. Taste first. On this menu as: Chicharrón en Salsa Verde.
