Goat is as Mexican as it gets, especially inside a taco created on the tough streets of Pacific Avenue near East Tacoma. Vuelve A La Vida, Tacoma's most authentic Mexican restaurant, serves a marinated goat taco that puts the olé in your day. The birria (meat stew) tastes mellow and arrives in chunks on soft corn tortillas with cilantro and white onions sprinkled on top. Those worried about pungent goat flavor may wade into the meat here with a little concern, but only the traces of fat on the birria tastes even close to strong. These tacos could be pot roast if you didn't know the difference.
