👋 Hey, Monica here. Last November, Axios reader Brian W. wrote in raving about the quesabirria tacos sold from a tented cart in an AutoZone parking lot.
Why it matters: Chicago's full of great quesabirria tacos, stuffed with hot chihuahua cheese and stewed beef or goat. But birria lasagna is a new rare find.
The journey: I visited the Rogers Park stand four times before I was able to try it.
The goods: Lasagna birria ($12) turns out to be a deconstructed quesabirria taco featuring melty cheese, tender stewed beef and diced onions between three layers of thick crispy tortillas.
Bottom line: It may be fun to say "lasagna birria," but the actual nacho-like dish is too unwieldy — especially for car eating.
Plus: While you're in the parking lot, you can stock up on auto supplies.
