225° BBQ is the Best TexMex BBQ in Texas. Don't fall for that Over-Hyped place, this is the Real Deal. The Pecan Smoked Prime Brisket and Ribs are Phenomenal. Juicey Smoked Turkey and Cheddar Jalapeño Sausage are the Best Around. The Birria Tacos and Consumme are far Better than Most Taquerias. Street Tacos, Shrimp Tacos, Quesi Tacos, Habanero Chicken Tacos, etc. are Just Simply Amazing! Sides are Great. Love the Mac & Cheese, Borracho Beans, Coleslaw, Green Spaghetti and Spicy Dirty Rice!! Then there's the Specialty Items. Birria Quesadilla is Fantastic. Get a Side of Consumme! Loaded Potatoes with Butter, Sour Cream, Cheese and any Protein you want. Chopped Brisket, Birria, Sausage, Shrimp, Turkey or any Combo. Their Signature Loaded Brisket, Hot Cheeto Elotes and Birria Ramen are Amazing. If the Dino Beef Rib, Best in NTX, or Baseballs (Cream Cheese and Jalapeño stuffed Chicken Thigh, wrapped in Bacon and Smoked) are on the menu, Get Them!! The Texas Twinkie ( Brisket and Cream Cheese stuffed Jalapeño wrapped in Bacon & Smoked) or Cherry Bomb, same as a Twinkie but with a Habanero are This is TexMex BBQ at its Finest!! read more

I'm from the Arlington area and I've had a lot of tacos around here, but the birria tacos at 225° BBQ are legit. The tortillas come out crispy with that perfect little cheese crust, and the meat is super tender and packed with flavor. You can tell they put some real time into cooking it right. The best part is dipping the tacos in the consommé. That broth is rich and smoky and just takes the whole taco to another level. It's messy, but that's how you know it's good. If you're anywhere near Arlington and like birria tacos, you definitely need to try these. I'll 100% be back next time the craving hits. read more

You walking and it's like bar / pool hall. You walk up to the counter to order. They give you a number and wait for you food the have lots of tables and you can sit at the bar if you want. It made me think of a cheers bar where everyone knows your name. Ok now let's get to the food. So I forgot a picture of my food but I had the brisket and burnt pork belly ends. The brisket was so tender it was falling apart when you grabbed it. The pork belly was perfect they were a little nugget of deliciousness. The brisket melted like butter. The ribs had a nice bite to them. The birria taco my son said they are in his top 3 and he always gets birria tacos. They sides are ok the elote was delicious the Mac and cheese was ok and the beans were good but we must have gotten the new batch it needed a little bit more cooking. Can't wait to go back. If in Arlington this is one you will want to stop at. read more

Ooooooooommmmmmmmmggggggg!! So worth the drive!! The restaurant was very homey and laid back. We were greeted by a very sweet lady at the register. The food I will definitely rate high up there with Dayne's!! We ordered the brisket ( couldn't even pick it up because it was soooo tender that it crumbled in my hands) also ordered the pork burnt ends( very tasty) with the sides of the street corn and the potato salad and who could resist a Texas Twinkie?!?! The best sides I have had thus far!! One of the best BBQ places yet!! read more

225 BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

When the food is this fresh and delicious, I have to put it on the map. This spot serves up barbecue that's truly Yelp-worthy -- I'm giving it a solid 10/10! I ordered the two-meat plate with brisket and jalapeño cheddar sausage, plus mac & cheese and loaded potato salad on the side. Every bite was packed with flavor, and honestly, the meat was so good it didn't even need barbecue sauce (though they do have it if you want it). The vibe inside leans more towards a bar atmosphere, but they also offer outdoor seating, which is a nice touch. If you're craving barbecue, make sure this place is on your list -- it's worth the detour! read more

This was my first time visiting the store front, and it was so cool finally being able to see it! They worked so hard to get to where they are now we will always support!! The food was great like always, they posted they had a special that day and it looked so good we had to get it!! The only thing I wish the potato came with was bbq sauce and sour cream, but that's just me. It was still super flavorful either way! The service was great, the person working the register was so nice, she even remembered my name when I was walking out the door! This is definitely still one of my favorite bbq places in Arlington! Thank you guys for everything y'all do read more

Eaten at 225 several times over the years. Think every visit was when they were parked at Division brewing. Always liked the bbq, but it got to where my visits were mostly to try something new they were touting on Facebook or whatever. Best thing I like about 225 is the non bbq, bbq stuff they make. They just opened in their building, I was out running errands and decided to go check them out. Early afternoon on a weekend. Not super busy, good for me, I looked at the menu above the register. I really was just going to grab a sandwich, but honestly didn't see any sandwiches offered on the menu. Maybe I just missed it, but before I could ask, I was intrigued by the Chipotle nachos. Cashier wasn't sure what was on them, which was a little amusing, but I stopped her and just asked "there is some kind of meat on them, right?" when she nodded and said yes, I told her that was good enough for me. I got a soda from the fountain (No Coke, Pepsi!...but I drink DP anyway) and grabbed a seat at the bar. They saw my number and dropped off my nachos soon after. It was a pretty big pile, plenty for two. I saw the meat was pulled pork, with lots of cheese, and a few other veggie type things, with a sauce (chipotle probably) drizzled on top of everything. They were really good, and not skimpy on the meat. I finished off a pretty good amount of them. My only issue is the chips they use are thick, which is probably good to put off the chips getting soggy quickly, but I still prefer thinner chips. Not a deal breaker, I would get the nachos again. Inside is pretty barren. I think the two pool tables must be leftover from when it was Mavericks sports bar. Doesn't look like they changed much. But I come for the food, not the ambiance. They have birria tacos, think I saw birria ramen, several other regular, non bbq menu items. I remember when they did the pork belly sandwiches, those things were great. No booze, but BYOB. Anyway, glad to see them in a nice, air conditioned space. Over the years I would pass by during summer months because it was just to hot to sit outside. read more

225 BBQ - Chipotle nachos - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Was scrolling social media and saw a post about the day's special of a Burger, side and 2 birria tacos for $20. We have been meaning to go here so many times and decided today was the day. My husband got the special and I got 1/2lb brisket, cherry bomb and a Texas Twinkie. Our food was absolutely outstanding. There was not one single thing I tried that wasn't delicious. They have recently moved from a food truck to a brick and mortar so the inside is still a work in progress but they have lots of seating, tvs and it's clean. My food came out pretty quick and service was friendly. I am kicking myself for not trying them out all the other times I thought about it. If this is you......GO NOW read more

Found this place 2 months ago and now have been back about 10 more times. Everyone I have taken there absolutely loves it. One of my favorite bbq restaurants in DFW!! Brisket is awesome! read more

Great bbq spot with really good prices. They give good portions and have a good variety of options

Great service and food. Our waitress corrected our order and all the food was delicious. Will be coming back again.

Perfect "moist" brisket! Delicious pork belly. Excellent tacos (birria and quesitacos) Wonderful sides (street corn plus Mac-n-cheese). Didn't wait long, thankful for the covered benches! read more

Soo yummy! Even the leftovers the next day were even better. It was my husband and I first time visiting this business and I must say it didn't disappoint. The prices were great, the food tasted amazing, and atmosphere was very entertaining. We will definitely be back again. read more

We were fortunate five this place down in Arlington near our hotel and AT&T stadium. You sure you check their hours before you go. They're closed Monday and Tuesday. We had two tacos, two meats and two sides for under $30. Good portions absolutely amazing food. Fantastic collaboration between authentic Mexican and Texas barbecue read more

225 BBQ - Two tacos, two meat, two sides, two drinks $32... absolutely fantastic, authentic Mexican and Texas BBQ collaboration - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I love supporting good food trucks, and this one takes BBQ to another level. This unassuming food truck's BBQ flavors are outstanding. I got the burnt ends, and all I can say is Wow! They were cooked to perfection..and the seasoning is the perfect marriage of savory with just a hint of sweet. The bacon wrapped stuffed jalepeno has just the right amount of heat. Even those who are afraid of jalapeños can do this one. The service was quick, friendly, and knowledgeable. I love the turf grass and the clean benches. If you like eating outdoors, they have a very clean area to eat. read more

225 BBQ - Burnt Ends Mmmm! - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Meat was amazing. Very tender and well smoked. The sides weren't so good. Lacked seasoning. Overall it was an okay experience

I guess I'm not sure what Mexican BBQ is. We ordered the El Mero Mero plate with brisket and burnt ends. Crust of brisket coated with salt, pepper, garlic, and sugar. (Exactly 2 slices) It was tender but definitely not enough smoke. The burnt ends seemed processed and were way too chewy. (Not to mention they counted out just 4.) Birria tacos were tasty but no consommé-What? Street corn was tasty and green beans crunchy tender, just ok. Their BBQ sauce was sweet. Yuk! They have a signature dish of Birria Ramen. May come back to try that, but as far as BBQ I'm done. read more

Birria ramen was a total disappointment. Heard amazing things, but was very underwhelmed.

This place just opened a month ago. They don't have alcohol just yet. It is BYOB until they get alcohol I think. Very open space. Lots of TVs. Over all chill and awesome place!! Service was great. You order at the counter. read more

225 BBQ - Got the birria quesadilla with macaroni and cheese. - Barbeque Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Another visit Taking my out of town boss. A Thursday at lunchtime. Brisket was its usual perfection. Nice bark and solid smoke. Ribs were ok in the usual Texas manner but I was raised on ribs in Memphis by the great John Wills. Ribs should be trimmed and peeled and spritzed in the cook. But as Texas ribs they are fine. Birria tacos were great, but this time shrimp tacos were far too heavy with cheese and the shrimp weren't grilled and seemed more like scampi. They would be better grilled and more like San Diego fish tacos. Street corn was heavy handed with crema and cheese; it's too rich but that's what folks like. Texas Twinkies were excellent. Don't sleep on the burger! This place is a gem. It needs traffic. It's a bit hard to find but so is cafe Americano down the street. Urge you to give it a try; you'll put in your rotation. read more

Okay woah. Went with my friend while we were at division brewing. Ordered pretty quickly and was told it should be about 15 min. Went back and had to wait in a substantial line for 10 min because they only have one window, and was told it would be another 10 min... and honestly was getting a little frustrated after 35 minutes and no food So the *only* downside to this place is the ordering / pickup process. If they could take cell numbers down and text when the food is ready or have buzzers, it would be much better... because this particular day was very windy, had been warm but now chilly, and it was starting to drizzle. We each ordered the elote and a Quesi taco and I was struggling to choose which one I preferred, but the Quesi taco was something new to me and extremely delicious. The bbq brisket on it was tender and juicy, and it melded well with the flavors of the cheese in the tortilla. I will definitely be back! read more

It's solid bbq. Not life changing or anything. There's better but there's worse, idk.

The food and ambiance was amazing. At first we didn't realize the Birria tacos came with cilantro and onions . We always get asked if that's okay. But when we asked if we could send them back they kindly agreed. If you go and don't want cilantro and onions please make sure to say so when ordering.. we're very thankful they were able to fix it for us. Ohhh and they had $3 dollar mimosas on Sunday!!! $3 Mimosas!!! The bartender was amazing ! read more

Would do 4.5 because the to-go order didn't have the 2 tacos. Ordered 2 meat (brisket/rib), potato salad and Mac and cheese was more than enough for my wife and I. Both meats were outstanding. Mac and Cheese is good. Potato salad is different from "traditional", but I good different. Definitely going back. Will check order before leaving next time. Cool atmosphere. Look forward to eating there. Staff was very nice. Better IMO than other BBQ in area. read more

The food is incredible. The portions are great. The price is right. Absolutely would recommend.

Loved the brisket burger!! It's huge and delicious. The street corn was also really good. Service was great.

Everything on the menu is excellent, the smoke flavor in the meats is phenomenal,and the people are very friendsly!friendly! I absolutely love all their brisket tacos,loaded potatoes, and elote....yum! read more

Have you tried this place? Well let me tell you this place was a hidden gem for me but man once I found it I gladly spend my money there. The food has an amazing flavor. It's BBQ with flare. I have had just about everything there. Be prepared to spend your money cause everything on the menu sounds good. My first time there the server/cashier was very accommodating she was helpful. Go try this place for yourself read more

Had the 3 meat plate ribs, burnt ends, and brisket also had a Philly burger, Mac cheese and beans. Tons of fat and gristle. Yes fat helps the flavor but you can trim it after cooking. There is better BBQ in Arlington. The Philly burger with lettuce and tomato, had ground meat. I ate something crunchy, maybe a bone. No taste, basic burger. The burnt ends were all fat. I did like the pork ribs and beans. Brisket was fatty. Sauce was good and tasted like another famous BBQ place in town. Good taste and sauce. Lots of fat and gristle. I have had better in Arlington. Go somewhere else. This is Texas you will find better. read more

Phenomenal!!! Brisket and tacos were great. The dirty rice, potato salad and corn were heavenly. Hope they get a storefront as a margarita would make it perfect read more

Not quite what the atmosphere that I expected. More like a bar with pool tables. Cool for a hangout spot with friends, not for family dinner. The bbq was mediocre -- should have went somewhere else. read more
