Description and history
_-_2.jpg)
The Mexican restaurant Birrieria La Plaza (BLP) operates from a red food cart on Stark Street in southeast Portland, in the parking lot of a discount store. The menu focuses on birria and also includes braised beef and vampiros. The Plaza Plate includes a quesadilla, taco, mulita, tostada, and a cup of consommé.
BLP is owned by Oracio Hernandez. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant experienced setbacks from beef supply chain issues. In May 2020, Rachel Pinsky of Eater Portland wrote, "At the height of its success a couple months ago, Hernandez’s food cart was going through a thousand pounds of chuck roast a week to make this popular stew. On May 4, the prices offered by his meat supplier for chuck increased by 200 percent. Hernandez was forced to temporarily shut down to find another reliable source of affordable meat."
