All over Baja there are Birria restaurants and stands. That dish is a stew made up of beef, pork, lamb, veal and or goat. Sometimes a combination but often just one of the meats. Just ask if it is borrego. I remember a stand next to the El Nido in Loreto that had killer borrego birria years ago. Also La Fonda has served some very good lamb shanks in the past. I have seen lamb served at the various El Nido restaurants. Enjoy.

Borrego vs Cordero


In Mexico, every time I've asked for borrego, I've gotten meat from an older animal, maybe a year or more, approaching what I would consider mutton. Tougher with a strong flavor.

I've had much better luck with Mexican butchers asking for cordero, which is a younger animal, usually no more than six months old.

FWIW,
