"Birria (Goat Stew) Pueblo Nuevo, $9.95 With a platter of tortillas alongside, just the sight of this rich, russet bowl of stew is mouthwatering. It begins with a base of dried, roasted red peppers that provides a mildly spicy kick to the meaty broth. Grab a spoon—it gets better. Smoky and savory, the long-braised goat is reduced to moist shreds of tender, nearly sweet perfection. And a lime wedge adds a smack of citrus. (Think less Gruff, more delicious pot roast.) La cabra está exquisita. 7401 N. Lindbergh, 314-831-6885, pueblonuevostl.com."
