2. #7 Taco, Ladybird Taco

“Brisket, potato, rajas, queso. Need I say more? This taco was by far the BEST thing I ate in Birmingham this month! The brisket was so tender and juicy and smothered in delicious queso, while the rajas provided just the perfect crunch to make this debatably the best soft taco in Birmingham. Just wow.”
