Even though it's just enough to fill a small Styrofoam cup, the consommé de birria at Tacos y Birria El Güero is like the Feeding of the 5,000 in liquid form. One spoonful, and the fatty, scalding, comforting drippings from just-roasted goat fill your stomach as much as a double-double. Add in some chopped onions, cilantro, scraps of chile de árbol lurking at the bottom and heroic jiggers of salsa de aceite–an oily, furious beast more fire than hot sauce–and it's a meal that can meet your nutritional needs for a couple of days. One cup could keep a high-school football team satiated during Hell Week; a cauldron of the stuff, which boils behind the counter from before sunrise to long into the night, could feed the multitudes without leaving anyone hungry.
