Birrieria La Plaza, often called BLP, is a Mexican restaurant. It operates from a bright red food cart in southeast Portland. You can find it in the parking lot of a discount store on Stark Street.

What kind of food do they serve?

The main dish at BLP is called birria. This is a tasty stew, usually made with slow-cooked meat. They also serve braised beef and vampiros. A special meal is the Plaza Plate. It comes with a quesadilla, a taco, a mulita, a tostada, and a cup of warm consommé. Consommé is a rich, clear broth.

Who owns Birrieria La Plaza?

The owner of Birrieria La Plaza is Oracio Hernandez. He works hard to make sure everyone gets great food.

How did they handle challenges?

Like many businesses, Birrieria La Plaza faced some challenges. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was hard to get enough beef. This is because of "supply chain" issues. A supply chain is like a path that ingredients take from where they are made to where they are sold.

In May 2020, the price of beef went up a lot. Oracio Hernandez had to temporarily close the food cart. He needed to find a new way to get affordable meat. This shows how businesses sometimes have to adapt to unexpected problems.
