Birria Boy Taqueria has officially launched in Woolloongabba, drawing locals for its slow-cooked birria tacos and agave-led drinks menu in a heritage building on Stanley Street.
A Pop-Up Built Around Birria Culture
The taqueria is trading for the spring and summer season at 617 Stanley Street, operating for dinner from Thursday to Monday and lunch from Friday to Sunday. The venue sits at Clarence Corner near The Princess Theatre and serves as an easy pre-show or late-night stop.
Birria Boy Taqueria centres its menu around traditional birria, a Mexican dish known for meat slow-cooked in rich consommé. They serve a signature 15-hour braised wagyu beef cheek taco on an in-house pressed yellow corn tortilla, paired with jalapeño salsa and consommé for dipping.
The menu also includes a goat birria variation, roasted corn ribs, prawn tacos, tuna belly tostada and wood-fired mushroom birria with Oaxaca cheese.
Agave Spirits and Frozen Margaritas
The drinks menu places focus on agave-based spirits such as tequila, mezcal and Queensland-made Beudi Agave. Frozen margaritas and slushie cocktails are offered, along with a Mexican-style lager created with Frenchies Brewery and Sea Legs Brewing Co.
The drinks list is built around agave spirits with frozen margaritas and a collaborative Mexican lager.
Refreshed Heritage Space With Open Kitchen
The taqueria occupies the former Vespas Pizza site and retains its woodfire oven. The refreshed space features terracotta tones, cacti accents and an open kitchen where diners see fresh tortillas pressed to order.
Brisbane food reviewers have already described the venue as relaxed but polished, with strong feedback for both food quality and service team.
Strong Community Interest Early On
Early response on social media has been positive, with diners calling the wagyu birria the standout item.
Locals have highlighted the venue as a strong new addition to the inner-south dining circuit, appealing to those seeking flavour-driven, casual dining without formality.
The team has confirmed week-two trading is in full swing and directed customers to birriaboy.com.au for bookings and menu access.
