Best Birria Tacos in Edmonton

About Our Birria Tacos

At PiKanté, our Birria Tacos are the dish that started it all. Owner Ken, originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, slow-simmers beef in a blend of dried chiles, toasted spices, and aromatics for hours until the meat is fall-apart tender and the broth is impossibly rich. This is the same recipe that has earned PiKanté a spot in Edmonton's best birria roundups.

Each taco is assembled to order — the tortilla is dipped in the crimson birria fat, filled with shredded meat, then pressed on a hot griddle until the edges turn crispy. The result is a taco that's crunchy, succulent, and brimming with layered spice. Paired with a cup of steaming consommé, it's a dish that warms you from the inside out.

Why Our Birria Tacos Stands Out

What sets PiKanté's Birria Tacos apart is the time and care that goes into every batch. The birria is never rushed — it simmers low and slow until the flavours meld perfectly. No shortcuts, no preservatives, just real ingredients and traditional technique. That dedication is why customers drive across Edmonton to get their birria fix at Bountiful Farmers' Market every weekend.

Perfect Pairings
