According to a recent permit filing, Birrieria PDX aims to expand with a new Vancouver location at 4903 E 4th Plain Boulevard.
This will be the second location in Vancouver for Birrieria PDX. Including the concept’s restaurant location, there are nine locations throughout the Portland metro area.
According to a 2020 article from the Portland Eater, “Birrieria PDX, a food cart specializing in saucy braised birria de res, has become a lunch hotspot for people throughout East Portland and Gresham since it opened last month, and every socially distanced picnic table is inhabited by people inhaling birria tacos, cheesy quesabirria, and plates of rice, beans, and hunks of the shredded meat, emerging from their juices like islands in a rust-red ocean.”
“Daniel Miranda, one of the cart’s four owners, shrugs at the current crowd. “We were extremely busy on Saturday — the line wrapped around the block,” he says. “People were waiting 30, 40 minutes, and our cook is fast; people just wanted to wait.”
“Miranda’s birria cart is a family operation — co-owners Lorena Brambila (his wife) and Grecya Miranda (his sister) are at the cart from morning until late, tending to the bubbling pots of birria en caldo; co-owner Ivan Uc, Grecya’s husband, manages the cart’s outdoor seating, running errands and handling catering orders.”
“Making one pot of birria is an eight-hour process, one the Mirandas adopted from their Guadalajaran mother and grandmother. “My mother, Rita, she always cooked birria, since we were kids,” Miranda says in the article. “My grandmother always made it that way, too.”
