history
After the Spanish conquest of Mexico in the 16th century, the goats multiplied rapidly , especially in the area of what is now the state of Jalisco, and soon became a real nuisance. They trampled down numerous beds and seed fields and caused a serious supply problem and hunger in the population. So it came about that the goats were eventually killed and eaten. The first birrierias soon appeared ; Bars that specifically offered this food. While the traditional and original birria consisted of goat meat, other types of meat such as lamb , pork , beef and poultry are also used today.
One of the strongholds of the Birria is Guadalajara , the second largest city in Mexico and the capital of the state of Jalisco. In the streets around the Plaza Nueve Esquinas (Eng. Square of the Nine Corners ), which is located in the city center south of Avenida Libertad, there are some bars where the traditional birria de chivo ( Eng . Birria made from goat meat ) is served. The Birria is traditionally primarily a meal for the common people and it is almost logical that the Plaza Nueve Esquinas is located in an area that was previously considered a traditional working-class district .
