From Sparrow’s dinner menu, the Lamb Quesa-Birria Tacos are a rich, crave-worthy shareable for $19.
About the Dish
You get two quesa-birria tacos made with Anderson Ranch lamb that is slow braised until it pulls apart tender, then folded with cheese into house-made tortillas and crisped so the cheese turns golden at the edges. They are finished with fresh cilantro and onions and served with a house-made lamb au jus for dipping, the way good birria tacos should be. That dunk in the rich, savory jus is the whole point, soaking the tortilla and pulling all the flavors together. Between the quality Anderson Ranch lamb and the from-scratch tortillas and au jus, it is one of the most satisfying shareables on the menu at our Juanita neighborhood spot in Kirkland.
What to Drink With It
The slow-braised lamb and warm spices want a red with some body. From our list, the Sparkman Cellars Wilderness stands up to the richness, or the DeLille D2 brings a smooth, structured match. Browse the full Sparrow beverages menu for more reds.
