The Birria Boyz is the latest food truck to hit Leeds' food scene, bringing the traditional Mexican dish to Yorkshire. Run by the three best friends, Charlie Finister, 24, Jasper Chapman, 24, and Bailey Dove, 22, the Birra Boyz opened in their permanent home of Moortown Rugby Club, Leeds, at the beginning of March. Birria Boyz was born out of a shared passion for good food and a desire to fill a gap in the culinary landscape of Leeds.
Their journey began with a vision to introduce Birria Tacos—a traditional Mexican dish—to the palates of Leeds' food enthusiasts. Charlie explained the trio saw a demand for authentic Mexican cuisine, so they pooled their resources, refurbished a trailer from Selby, and transformed it into a mobile kitchen fit for their flavourful creations.
