Birrieria Las Marias has opened its third Valley location, this time landing in midtown Phoenix at the southwest corner of Thomas Road and Fifth Avenue, right across the street from St. Joseph's Hospital. The family-friendly spot built its reputation on tacos de birria and Mexican breakfasts, and the new outpost brings that same formula to a stretch of midtown within easy reach of hospital staff, nearby residents and anyone craving a consommé fix.
According to mouth by southwest, the new midtown shop joins the brand's original West Phoenix restaurant on 83rd Avenue and its Peoria outpost on Olive Avenue, rounding out a trio of locations across the Valley. The report describes the restaurant as serving generous portions at reasonable prices, a reputation the original 83rd Avenue location appears to have built before the brand expanded north to Peoria and now into the center of the city.
What's on the Menu
The midtown menu leans heavily on the birria that put the brand on the map, with crispy birria rolled tacos and a cheesy party birria melt among the standouts, per the same report. The restaurant's own food menu spells out the details behind one of those rolled-taco orders: three deep-fried rolled birria tacos topped with sour cream, queso fresco, onion and cilantro, served with a small consommé on the side, according to Birrieria Las Marias's posted menu.
Breakfast gets equal billing alongside the birria. The mouth by southwest report lists chilaquiles in red sauce among the morning offerings, and the restaurant's menu confirms the dish comes topped with sour cream, onion and cilantro and served with two eggs and a side of beans. The menu also details a Mexican-style French toast made from four pieces of bread dipped in French toast mix, served with butter, powdered sugar and fruit on top.
Drinks and Private Events
For something to wash it all down, the midtown menu includes the El Cantarito cocktail and a chile-rimmed cucumber lemonade, the station's report notes. Birrieria Las Marias also hosts private events, with its party page stating the restaurant can accommodate up to 60 guests for private gatherings, listed under its 83rd Avenue address in Phoenix.
The midtown location keeps its own set of hours, running 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday and Wednesday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday. It's closed Tuesdays, per the original report. With a third location now open across from one of midtown's busiest hospitals, Birrieria Las Marias is betting its birria-and-breakfast combination can win over a whole new pocket of Phoenix.
