Oxtail Birria Rivera is a Mexican recipe that is made with beef. Oxtail is the culinary name for the tail of cattle and was at one time the food of slaves. Oxtail is a gelatin-rich meat and that makes it very flavorful. Because of that, it has made a comeback at many upscale restaurants like the Culver Hotel Bar & Restaurant.

Why is Oxtail so expensive? The answer is simple, there is only one tail per cow.
