Bowl, plate, taco: At this Mexican spot, there are multiple delivery methods for the succulent house birria tatemada — goat that’s been slowly steamed, rubbed with mole, and roasted until it develops a crusty bark. Splashed in chile-scented consomme and served up with hand-pressed tortillas tasty enough to warrant a visit on their own, the birria plate delivers the best of all worlds. $15.25. 4852 S. Pulaski Rd., Archer Heights
