I am always hunting for the next insane comfort food meal in New York City, but this spot in Brooklyn just completely changed the game. Most people go for standard tacos when they want Mexican food. Not this time. Tacobees in Brooklyn is doing something totally wild. They are taking their cheesy creations and turning the indulgence up to a hundred.
I stood right at the counter and watched the madness happen. It starts with a giant heated flour tortilla. The worker drops a massive handful of shredded Mexican cheese right on top. Then comes the true star of the show. The steak birria. They grab a heavy scoop of their wildly tender, slow-cooked meat and layer it over the cheese. The steam was rising. They ladle on a thick stream of spicy queso. Next, they toss fresh cilantro and even more shredded cheese on top to lock in all that moisture.
The whole thing gets folded over and toasted on the grill until it is perfectly crispy and golden brown. They use a pizza cutter to slice the massive quesadilla into quarters. You can hear that beautiful crunch. They stack the pieces up and wrap them tight. Look at that fill! The cheese is completely melted, and the juicy meat is bursting out from the sides.
Before taking a bite, you have to hit it with a serious dip into the deep red consome. Drenched. The rich, savory broth coats the crunchy tortilla perfectly. I went in for a massive bite. The result? Incredible. The texture is a total game-changer. The crunchy exterior mixed with the tender, juicy steak and gooey cheese is absolute perfection. It is heavy, rich, and easily one of the best bites I have ever encountered in the city. Get to Brooklyn and experience this madness for yourself. Who is hungry?
