What's the trendy grilled taco (?) where you dip it into a broth (?) called?

[Anonymous]

We're on vacation and this Mexican restaurant has a photo of this item on their Google listing but I can't find it on their small menu. It almost looks like a folded meat and cheese quesadilla? But the color on the tortilla looks like broth is used to grill it too. What is the broth on the side called? They have a quesadilla on their menu but no mention of that broth on the side. We are order dinner to-go later and unsure how to properly ask for this. I know I've seen it on instagram and tiktok, so I think it's a trendy item.

Thanks!

I think the concept is a Mexican version of a French dip au jus sandwich?

It is called a quesa-taco? And the tortilla gets that distinct color because it's dipped in the fat from the simmering meat before it's put on the grill?

The au jus for dipping is called consomé broth, which is a cup of the broth from the simmering meat, with onions and cilantro added.

If you're ordering stuff based on what you've seen on Instagram and TikTok, you should just give up now. Good God.

No, I have seen them made on social media, YouTube and elsewhere, so that's how I know it's a trendy item. I see photos of them on the Google listing for the restaurant; as in, patrons published photos of their meals on Google reviews. They look delicious! And I've never tried them before. They are not on their menu, at least their menu I can find online, so that's why I wanted to know what to ask for.

Enjoy — birria is delicious! For what it’s worth, everyone in my family prefers the tacos to the quesadillas. The cheese doesn’t add anything.

Overrated. Way too rich/greasy and the broth is always too salty.

They can be a real pita to assemble neatly.

No it's not. You sound like a fool.

It's not a tictok trend.

Quesabirria (also called birria tacos or red tacos) ("cheese birria") is a Mexican dish comprising birria-style cooked beef folded into a tortilla with melted cheese and served with a side of broth (Spanish: consomé) for dipping.

And lots of sodium!
