Birria Tacos — 03/02/23

Frontpage of the Hippo, Birria Tacos

Meet the birria taco! Looking for a new way to taco Tuesday? Try these tacos made with slow-stewed meat packed into a tortilla and grilled with a coating of the consommé the meat was cooked in, producing a golden-red color. In this week’s cover story, Matt Ingersoll explains this trending taco dish.

Also on the cover It’s a big weekend for theatrical performances. Little Women begins its run at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, Bedford Off Broadway’s Skin Deep starts its two-weekend run (see the story on page 16), Vanities at the Hatbox in Concord begins a three-weekend run and Radium Girls from Cue Zero Theatre Company has three shows this weekend; find details in the arts listings, which start on page 14. Also this Sunday, Symphony NH joins with two area choral groups to present Mozart’s Requiem (page 14). The guitar duo of Nicola Cipriani and Brad Myrick hit the Bank of NH Stage in Concord on Sunday (see page 34). And, on Saturday, the Bank of NH Stage will host SouperFest, featuring soups, chilis and chowders from Concord-area restaurants (page 26).
