Del Taco’s Birria Ramen options contemporary wavy ramen noodles, shredded beef birria topped, diced onions, chopped cilantro, and a fresh-cut lime wedge in a beef broth consomé.
A considerably tall cup prices $5.99 however I acquired this courtesy of Del Taco.
I believed that the ramen noodles could be just like instantaneous, which is to say gentle and curly, however as described, they had been contemporary and wavy, pretty agency with an honest construction and chunk to them.
The broth was fairly tangy from tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, and a lime wedge that was floating in it (which I opted to not fish out and squeeze into the already tangy broth). There was a great quantity of seasoning to it in addition to a gentle spicy warmth. What was lacking was fats (solely 4g if the dietary information on their web site is appropriate; examine that to 14g of fats in a regular pouch of Prime Ramen) and beefiness past the included shredded beef (no inventory or broth was added). As an alternative, tomatoes offered the bottom taste of the broth.
The shredded beef added a lightly-seasoned, beefy taste and was tender and juicy, whereas nonetheless retaining a meaty texture. There was an okay quantity of beef floating round.
The cilantro and onions added some texture, with the onions giving some crunch, and depth of taste.
Total, Del Taco Birria Ramen was a blended bag for me. I appreciated the meat and the noodles however the broth, whereas properly seasoned, lacked an unctuousness that is inherent to ramen and quite a few different noodle soups.
