When a Mexican restaurant does ramen ...

I went into a new (at least to me) Mexican restaurant and surprised to find a ramen dish on the menu. First time I have ever sees a ramen dish in a Mexican restaurant. So I tried it. It looked scary red, as if it's going be off-the-chart spicy hot, but turned out it's quite mild. Flavorful, yes, but not spicy hot.
It's shredded beef on top of ramen noodle in deep red broth, served with two birria rolls on the side (beef and cheese inside). The birria rolls were supposed to be crispy (I believe), but they were somewhat limp and soggy, so that's a bit disappointing to me. Still tasty though, and the ramen itself was certainly mild and interesting.
The Ramen Bar that Lucas loves recently came out with a Birria Ramen that I quite like. The ramen is a little thicker and heartier than the normal ramen, and they include cilantro, red onion, scallions, and lime. I add an egg to it. Quite tasty.
