No need to worry, Torontonians: the birria tacos in Toronto are as absolutely as good as any you'll find on TikTok.

Traditionally made with goat meat, most of the TO restaurants we found use slow-cooked beef — but that's not the case for all of them.

Whichever one you pick, though, they'll definitely be jaw-droppingly mouth-watering enough to go viral on TikTok. Tag us in advance, please and thank you!

Comal Y Canela

Price: 💸💸

El Charro

Price: 💸💸💸

Address: 788 Broadview Ave., Toronto, Ontario

Maiz

Price: 💸💸

Address: Multiple locations

Why You Need To Go: Maiz's birria tacos feature traditionally shredded beef in tomato sauce with onions and bell peppers — and if the photos are anything to go off, a lot of cheese on top.

Rebozos Taqueria

Price: 💸💸

Address: 126 Rogers Rd., York, Ontario

Why You Need To Go: If you're looking for something to test your capacity for spiciness, Rebozos says their traditional recipe from Jalisco, Mexico, is the one to try.

Tres Compadres

Price: 💸💸

Address: 928 College St., Toronto, Ontario

Why You Need To Go: Tres Compadres offers a little spin on the birria tacos — their Puerto Vallarta-style dish comes with braised short ribs instead of slow-cooked beef. 

The restaurant says it takes 36-48 hours of preparation to make — unfortunately, it will get eaten a lot more quickly.

Tacos Maria Bonita

Price: 💸💸💸

Address: 4020 Dundas St. W, York, Ontario

Why You Need To Go: Tacos Maria Bonita is a ghost kitchen, which makes sense because their dishes look like they're to die for.

If you want to get a birria dinner for the family, this is the place to go — you can get a kilogram of braised beef birria tacos and a litre of consomme (with a few extras) for $50.

Tacos El Asador

Price: 💸💸

Address: 689 Bloor St. W, Toronto, ON

Why You Need To Go: It's the G.O.A.T birria taco — which of course means that it's actually goat meat, as the traditional dish entails.

Whether you get a soft taco or a soup, you'll know you're getting the O.G. birria experience.
