Lonely Planet review for Birriería las Nueve Esquinas

Half a dozen blocks south of the city center, the un-touristy Nueve Esquinas (nine corners) neighborhood specializes in birria, meat steamed in its own juices until it’s so tender it melts in your mouth. Birriería las Nueve Esquinas does it best. The open, tiled kitchen, with its in-house tortillería is as beautiful as the tasty and absurdly tender barbacoa de borrego (baked lamb) and birria de chivo (steamed goat) served in traditional ceramic casseroles. Enjoy them with a stack of fresh tortillas and smaller bowls of guacamole, pickled onions and salsa verde (green sauce) swimming with cilantro and perfectly ripe chunks of avocado.

    Great barbacoa de borrego

    wisbeachcomber recommends this,

    The restaurant is on a small square with several birrias on it. We tried the baked lamb, which comes with all of the usual fixings of pickled veggies, tortillas, sauces and beans. The lamb was flavorful and tender, although a few chunks were charred beyond the edible. We also had a bowl of lamb soup, which is essentially pan juices with garbanzo beans and rice. Some use the sopa to dip their lamb-filled tortillas in. I ate it as soup, adding onion and cilantro from the table, and it was delicious, although salty.
