Tucked beside Eagle Junction Station, Clayfield Cantina turns out crisp birria tacos paired with rich, slow-simmered dipping consommé. Chef-owner Josh simmers beef until fork-tender, folds it into corn tortillas with melted cheese and coriander, and pairs orders with charred corn ribs and house-made hot sauces. Diners regularly pack their own beer and wine thanks to the free BYO setup, rounding out orders with battered flathead fish tacos and warm churros.
