walk-in
They cook birria on 30 Avenida, between Calle 34 and Calle 38 in the Centro.
listed — The only thing established is a map node three metres from the pin, which says a food business is at that corner and nothing about what comes out of it. No publication we would cite has covered the address, so there is no line about the stew, the meat or the consomé to weigh. Nothing here can carry a rung above the floor.
