About Birrieria Jalisco #1

Birrieria Jalisco #1 is the dream of Eduardo’s, and the entire Martínez family, who grew up in the state of Jalisco, Mexico—where birria is more than a dish; it’s a celebration. Their story began right here in Capitol Hill, Seattle, with a humble food truck and a single goal: serve the most authentic Jalisco‑style birria north of the border.

Word spread quickly. The slow‑stewed beef, rich consommé, and handmade tortillas drew lines that wrapped around the block. Eduardo’s warm greeting at the window turned first‑timers into regulars, and the truck soon outgrew its wheels.

Today the family has a brick‑and‑mortar home, but nothing else has changed. Each morning the kitchen wakes early to toast chiles, grind spices, and simmer beef for hours—just like their abuela taught them. Fresh, local produce meets time‑honored techniques, linking Seattle to Guadalajara in every bite.

Beyond food, Birrieria Jalisco #1 is a gathering place. Neighbors, night‑owls, and visitors pull up a chair to share tacos, stories, and community. Come taste authentic Mexican cuisine and the best birria in Capitol Hill, Seattle—where family tradition meets the city’s hungry spirit, one taco at a time.
