Check this out. I took an Orange Theory class at Victory Park, and one of the students whom I chatted with recommended I try Hurtado Barbecue. He mentioned the one next to Dallas Farmers Market, which was a 10 minute walk from my hotel and 2 minute walk from V12 yoga studio. I really appreciated the recommendation as it was the best thing I ate during my latest trip. I headed over to Hurtado after taking a Tuesday evening class at V12 Yoga. I strolled into a pretty busy restaurant around 6:45pm. The staff member at the register said there was a private party at 7:30pm, so it was going to get even busier. I realized the place had more than just bbq. I initially went into the restaurant with my heart set on a 1 meat brisket combo. I found that I was in for a treat, because they also offered Tex-Mex. BBQ AND TEX-MEX?! How does one choose one over the other? I decided to get the best of both worlds and ordered the brisket tostada and chips and guac for good measure. The brisket tostada was fantastic, and it was so reasonably affordable. $6-and change for the crispiest tostada shell loaded with fatty brisket (I made the request for fatty), onions, cilantro, and cheese. It well exceeded my expectations and could put nacho plates to shame. Thoroughly enjoyed the chips and guac. The guac tasted fresh, and the chips had a bit of cayenne for a punch of flavor. Bonus points for their tangy, spicy salsa. read more

Hurtado Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Starting with their soft opening in early 2025, this Hurtado's BBQ location quickly became a favorite mine. Located at the Dallas Farmer's Market, it is a short ~5 minute walk for me. Add to that convenience, they have some really delicious BBQ. As for the BBQ, I have tried quite a bit of their offering over the months and I have zero complaints about anything. If dining in, my go to order tends to be the Texas Trinity which consists brisket, spare ribs, sausage and a side of your choice. This makes for a great meal with perhaps a little leftover to take home for later. If I am getting my food to go, I usually get the El Jefe which includes a 1/3 pound each of brisket, pulled pork, spare ribs, turkey, burnt ends plus sausage. It usually gives me enough to eat for a couple of days. Another great option is The Big Papa Potato which is baked potato stuffed with all the trimming along with some of their brisket. The inside seating consists of table/chair combos along with booths which are spread across a couple of indoor dining areas. There is also bar seating available. Lastly, weather permitting, there is a large patio available for outdoor dinning. The staff is always welcoming and they do a great job of managing the line. Orders are placed at the counter and they provide a number which makes it easy for them deliver your food to you once it's ready. Food can also be ordered at the bar, thus skipping the line. I am really glad to see this location found their footing and seem to be thriving. I was a little concerned as the space they moved into has seen several restaurants come and go over the years. Keep up the great job Hurtado's!!! read more

I was craving something yummy for my birthday lunch and I was not disappointed at Hurtado Bar B Que. from the meat being so soft and tender and falling apart in my mouth. To the yummy Mac and cheese. And the topping was the delish tres leches banana pudding. The most yummiest desert. I'll be back and I can't wait to try the other side dishes. read more

Hurtado Barbecue is a Texas-style BBQ joint that successfully infuses Tex Mex into its food. There are multiple locations in DFW, and I love the location in the Farmers Market. This time, I had birria tacos on my mind. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - I love the Dallas Farmer's Market, and Hurtado is the perfect restaurant to occupy this space. There is a line that steadily moves, nice outdoor and indoor seating, and if you walk towards the back you can see all the smokers. If you visit on a weekend, try to arrive before noon to avoid long lines. 1 Star. Service - You place your order, take a number, and your order is brought out to you. While you don't get to see the staff cut your meat in front of you, they are very fast and efficient. There are also Hurtado staff who will clear plates off your table. Great people here. 1 Star. Food - I came for the Birria tacos. Hurtado uses their smoked brisket, which shredded and paired will all things that make Hurtado special - Mexico flavors (cilantro, onions, and that beefy consommé). I also ordered a two-meat plate with brisket and bacon burnt ends. The brisket is great (and well represented in many Yelp reviews). On this visit, the bacon burnt ends stole the spotlight. A well-seasoned and smoked pork belly cube will melt in your mouth. I washed down my meal with the Tres Leches Banana Pudding and ended an incredible meal. One last very important note, Hurtado is a great value. My two tacos, 2 meat plate, and desert were $50. P.S. I split this meal with my son. I love food but I'm not a glutton. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I've been to the OG Hurtado in Arlington, the one at Globe Life Field, but the location in the Dallas Farmers Market is my favorite of them all. Yes, I will be back! 1 Star. read more

Go! The Real Deal! Now that we have that out of the way,let's explore further. I will start by saying Hurtado was close to scoring a 5 Star review but fell short for one,Major reason. My memories of the farmers market area of Dallas Texas are some of my earliest. Going back decades to when it was an actual farmers market. You know,where farmers load trucks of fresh produce and travel 10s or hundreds of miles in order to sell the fruits of their labor and make a living. Well, starting about 40 years ago,that small farmer ethos started fading and the powers that be implemented a Farmers Market Redevelopment Plan. Bingo,that's where we are today. A popular multiuse,living, working, resturant, shopping district that's self sustaining on the edge of downtown. Enter Hurtado and another startegiclly placed outpost for their award winning Texas BBQ with a twist. Located in a new architecturally pleasing building,the only potential barrier between you and the brisket is parking. On my Tuesday lunch this wasn't a problem but at busier times,keep this in mind. When you enter,the place is bright and clean with staff waiting to make your visit count. The hostess even brought us menues as we looked up at the wall menu choices,nice touch. Before long we decided and slid up the counter to order. Ordering,paying,taking our number and beverage glasses, was easy peasy. In case your inclined,there is a full bar which may entice my return visit . Full array of soft drinks and ice tea is also handy. We took a comfortable booth and only wait ed a few minutes ( long enough for our delicious hand cut fries to cook) before our "El Jeffe" was delivered to our table. After the drooling stopped we dove in sharing, brisket,ribs,hatch Chili Mac n cheese,brisket beans,bread,pulled pork,burnt ends,hand cut fries and Texas Twinkies. The food here is excellent. Made with love as Texas Barbecue has to be. Service with a smile is the deal clincher. I will return for a follow up review and reveal what kept me from serving up the 5 th star! For now I recommend you... Go! read more

Great BBQ! The turkey was super moist and perfectly smoked. I especially liked the Burnt ends. The perfect outer crust, that had a slight tang to it. It's other worldly and sooo tender. The ribs, like the burnt ends were Devine. The texas Twinkie is HOT. They don't remove the seeds from their Jalapenos... Their sides were all amazing except for the coleslaw. It's bad. No flavor. No sweetness no nothing. The tator-tot casserole and potato salad though is a whole other story. Talk about delicious! Both a must try. The green beens are good and cooked to perfection and the green chili Mac n cheese is Devine. Let's face it Hurtado knows BBQ. This location is super nice and has a nice clean bar vibe to it. In fact we sat at the bar and met lots of wonderful interesting people. read more

We came by in between my conference sessions during a fairly non-existent lunch break. Fortunately, it was very close by and there was no line. We popped in, ordered, and bam! Queso!! I ordered queso. I know. I also ordered mac and cheese and my man went for brisket and turkey. I loved the queso and the salsa was so yummy. I just piled a huge scoop of salsa and a dab of queso and it was perfect. The turkey was delicious and flavorful and the brisket was pretty freaking incredible. The mac and cheese was ok. So we came back before we left also. I got the queso again, the tater tot casserole, brisket, turkey, and chicken. I kept going back for brisket. This is unusual, as I usually go for the turkey. But I couldn't get enough of the queso. The chicken was forgettable. Unfortunately. I did have high hopes. The tater tot casserole was interesting. Not bad, but it was hard to decipher the flavors. I probably wouldn't get that again. Overall, I enjoyed the food. The service was excellent. Everyone was warm and welcoming. read more

I'd heard a lot about Hurtado BBQ and was eager to try it. World Cup fever was alive and well in Dallas but when we visited there was no line and we were able to order immediately. Staff was very friendly and helpful with ordering. The spectacular: Service, cleanliness of the restaurant, staff floating to check on you, prices were on par with other places. The brisket was definitely the star of the show for me. The good: The turkey was very tasty and juicy. I could have used more smoke flavoring but that is just a preference and not a knock on it. My girl loved it. The queso was really good as well. The ok: Mac and cheese was kind of just there. Didn't love but didn't hate it either. The miss: Was not offered bread, onions, pickles or jalapeños. Had to ask for all three and then only received two pieces of bread and a tiny helping of pickles and onions but zero jalapeños. The chicken was very sticky with the sauce used and the inside looked red and almost raw. We didn't finish it. I'd go back, but would be very focused on the brisket and maybe the puerco and/or sausage. Gives me a future Rudy's vibe but that's not hating on it at all. Just a chain that will be consistent. read more

To preface, my wife and I are from the Northeast and this was our first time ever trying Texas barbecue. The brisket was so tender and cooked to absolute perfection. The texas twinkie had just the right amount of spice and had so much flavor. Now the best part of the meal, to our surprise, was the tiramisu banana pudding. That was something to die for! It was so spectacular! The staff was incredible and the food came out fast! Their dining area was very clean and was a great place to watch the end of the Texas vs Tennessee game! Go Longhorns! read more

Good BBQ, but not the best. Would not go out of my way to eat here again. We ordered the 3 meat plate with a side of mac n cheese. Pros: * Friendly staff!! * Fatty brisket was juicy and sausage had good flavor * Good sauce * Lots of seating, not too crowded or loud. Cons: * Ribs were a bit dry and the seasoning lacked depth * Mac n cheese was overrated, not very flavorful * Noted that it made us REALLY SLEEPY both when we initially ate it and when we heated the leftovers back up. read more

I came in on Wednesday 30 minutes before closing and they still had everything I ordered available. First time trying it so I ordered a bit of everything. Here's my list: Tater tot casserole, cornbread, Mac and cheese, green beans, tres leches banana pudding, birria taco, and Texas Twinkie. My favorites were the tater tot casserole, Mac and cheese, and tres leches banana pudding. Least favorites: The cornbread was super dry. The birria taco was missing something. I would still return because meal overall was tasty. I'd like to try more of their meat items next time. read more

Hurtado Barbecue - 3 meats - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

4.5/5 Super chill, casual spot with a country-style setup. There's a bar on one side if you want drinks to go with your barbecue, and the food side operates separately with its own menu and cashier. Had to try Texas barbecue while in Dallas, and this place offers both traditional BBQ and Tex-Mex options, which made choosing tough. I went with the two-meat platter and tried the brisket and burnt ends. My food came out fast, around five minutes. The burnt ends were the standout. Juicy, tender, and very flavorful. Definitely not dry or burnt despite the name. The brisket was also tender, though slightly less seasoned throughout. They offer a variety of barbecue sauces, but honestly the meat didn't need them. For sides, I had the street corn and loaded potatoes. The street corn was a bit too creamy for my taste but still good. The loaded potatoes were more like mashed potatoes with skins and cheese mixed in. Tasty, but I personally preferred the corn. The platter is very filling and could be shared. Staff was friendly and welcoming. I came in around 8:00 p.m. and even close to their 9:00 p.m. closing time, there was still a steady flow of customers. Overall, a solid BBQ stop. read more

When searching for good 'cue to eat in Dallas, my husband found this place based on recommendations of YouTubers. I wasn't sure it would live up to the hype, but it blew me away. We each got a one-meat platter -- his choice was pork ribs and mine was brisket -- and we tried different sides to broadly survey the menu. He got the coleslaw and mac'n'cheese and I got the tater tot casserole and green beans. Everything was intensely flavored and elevated beyond typical BBQ joint options -- for instance, my green beans were infused with chorizo instead of bacon and his coleslaw had a red cabbage base. My only regret is we didn't have time to return before our short stay in Dallas ended. If I ever come back to Dallas I'll for sure stop at Hurtado. read more

Ambiance: 10/10 Good ole industrial style joint with benches and wood and metal aesthetics. Its large so you dont feel claustrophobic and a cool outdoor patio. They have really nice hand soap and lotion in the bathroom - a extra perk IMO! Parking in front in the lot you have to pay for which booo but worth it. DO PAY!!! There are cameras and even if no one is handing out tickets they will mail you one. This is not owned by Hurtado to be clear Service: 20/10 I PROMISE if you go in a Monday and sit at the bar, YESENIA will change your mind on your new favorite Monday go to for HH or dinner. She is freaking awesome Food: 10/10 honestly my favorite bbq joint. From the meats to the sides and drinks. Community tea, so a nice stringer brew i like! Its rare to find a bbq joint that has delicious sides AND delish meats. Yummmmmm When you order sliced brisket they ask if you want moist (with fat) or lean. The poblano sausage (beef) is so good. Try their HG brisket quesadillas!!!! Brisket heavy and excellent for the price. I love all their sides. My fave is the bacon ranch potato salad. Their mac n cheese is really good but not my go to. Their corn mixed with the mac n cheese or potato salad is yummers too Listen, just do yourself a favor and "treat yo self" to Hurtado's. Dont walk, RUN out the door to get there read more

The Brisket and the sausage were really good. The ribs were a five out of ten in my opinion. Mexican Rice was super dry. The Ranch Potato Salad had the texture of mashed potatoes with Ranch Dressing all over it. "Terrible" They also loose a point for selling Pepsi instead of Coke products. Very overpriced for the amount of food you get. Do not recommend this restaurant. read more

I've heard so much about Hurtados so when i was meeting a friend visiting from out of town (in Dallas for work), this seemed like a good opportunity to introduce them to one of Texas' finest features. Located at the farmer's market adjacent to the food court... excuse me hall, food hall it's a prime location. First thing i noticed when i walked inside was they hid the butcher behind a glass wall. What, what what? I'm guessing this was due to the smaller location to make way for seating but it was disappointing nonetheless since I had a first timer with me. The food! Brisket was solid. Like lives up to its rep. Sides were mixed. Elote being the strongest, mac and cheese disappointed. While the brisket delivered, my friend had pulled pork twice which was mixed review. First batch amazing, second too dry. We split chicken which was good but not great. Yes we ate a lot. And now witness an awkward ending. read more

Hurtado operates pretty much like a sit-down restaurant. As soon as you enter through the doors, there's a big menu to the right where you order at the counter. You take a number and they bring the food out to your table. The service was very quick and very cordial. ​Brisket Birria Taco ($6.00 each) - The brisket was tender, moist, and had a great smoky flavor. Dipping the taco into the consommé was a great match, and it wasn't too salty. The crispy corn tortilla, cheese, and toppings were all a great addition. If I wanted a combo of birria and brisket, this is where I'd go. 7.5/10 ​Hatch Chile Mac and Cheese ($5.00) - Very creamy and very cheesy. I don't know if I really tasted too much of the Hatch chile, but I still enjoyed it and would order it again. Wouldn't say it's the very top mac and cheese I've ever had, though. 7/10 ​Texas Twinkie ($6.00) - It was good, but the ratio of fillings felt a bit off to me. It could've used a little more cream cheese, though I did appreciate how much meat and bacon was wrapped around the jalapeño. Just felt like it didn't work as well together as I had hoped. 6/10 read more

Hurtado Barbecue - 3 neat combo - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Texas

For the longest time, this place, famous for their tex mex barbecue mash up, has been on our radar. So we finally gave in to curiosity and paid them a visit to celebrate a birthday. My first thought was to go to the original Arlington location, but thanks to Yelpers providing lot of photos and reviews, we decided that it might not be ideal for a large group since we would probably have to sit outside. That's how we ended up choosing the Dallas location, which has plenty of indoor, air conditioned seating. We had a lot of mouths to feed and wanted to try as many things as possible, so we ordered the El Jefe and the El Patron plus Texas twinkies. Together the meals came with sausage (jalapeno & cheddar and poblano jack), pulled pork, brisket, ribs, turkey, burnt ends, and birria tacos. For our sides we chose mexican corn, mexican rice, mac & cheese, tater tot casserole, potato salad and charro beans. Just about everything was exceptional, although for me the brisket really stood out. I can't remember when or even if I have ever had a better brisket. The smoky flavor and tenderness of the meat made it absolutely perfect. My favorite side was the tater tot casserole. It was about as scrumptious as a potato dish can possibly get. The tacos deserve an honorable mention because they were outstanding as well. Of course that's not surprising since they're filled with that delicious brisket. As great as the meal was, I wouldn't consider it to be 5 stars for several reasons. First of all, the sausages, which I almost always like the most, turned out to be my least favorite. The casings were so thick that it was difficult to cut through and to chew. The only barbecue sauce available was a bit too sweet, and I'm usually a fan of sweet sauces. Finally, the sides were kind of small, not only in relation to the amount of meat that's included, but also for the price. As other Yelpers have pointed out, the parking lot surrounding the place will cost you, and that rate per hour is higher on the weekend than on weekdays. I wanted to mention this because I had read in another review that parking was free on Sundays but that is definitely NOT the case. read more

I came here after seeing the Tex mex bbq options and wow it did not disappoint! For brisket, you can choose fattier or leaner (I chose leaner) and it was the perfect amount of richness while still being tender. Might I say it's better than a famous joint close by? The poblano pepper jack sausage was yummy but the skin was a little bit tough. The sides were amazing, I got the hatch chile mac and cheese (with cavatappi to soak up all that cheese!) and the Mexican street corn. Staff was super nice and friendly! read more

Went to Hurtado's after visiting the nearby Dallas farmers market. I ordered a wet brisket sandwich with Mac n cheese as a side. The brisket wasn't trimmed enough before cooking, so i had to pick out a decent amount of unrendered fat leaving me a sad sandwich. The brisket flavor wasn't that great either. The mac n cheese was mid, nothing impressive or bad about it. Their homemade barbecue sauces are good and it helps uplift the meat. The restaurant is very clean. Overall the staff was friendly and helpful, the prices are comparable to other barbecue spots in DFW, but this place doesn't deserve a spot on the top tier barbecue list in DFW. If you are looking for top tier barbecue, it's worth the 10 min drive to go to Terry blacks instead. If you are in the area and want a quick bite to eat - there's nothing bad about the place, but also nothing that makes it a "must try" read more

If you're craving bold barbecue with a Tex-Mex twist, Hurtado Barbecue is a must-visit. We ordered the Hatch Mac & Cheese, Brisket Tostada, Loaded Mashed Potatoes, Fries, and a Sandwich Combo--and everything was packed with flavor. The brisket was smoky and tender, the mac & cheese had a perfect Hatch chile kick, and the tostada was a standout with its crispy base and fresh toppings. The loaded mashed potatoes were rich and filling, and the fries were crispy and well-seasoned. Best of all, the portions are Texas-sized--generous, hearty, and guaranteed to leave you full. Bold flavors, big plates, and definitely worth the stop. read more

...was very excited to try this place because of their Tex-Mex twist on BBQ; and was not disappointed at all. Had their brisket which was very tender and juicy with the perfect seasoning. Now, the sides. These are not your regular sides. The mac and cheese had a jalapeño kick and their green beans had garlic and chorizo. I don't think I have to tell you anything else. The sides were flavorful enough to complement the brisket without shadowing it. Loved the space, right at the Farmers Market. They have a bar right there so you can enjoy a summer beer with your BBQ. For me it was perfect, to beat down the heat in Dallas on a typical summer Saturday. I ordered their tres leches banana pudding to go and I do not regret it. It was like homemade. I was a little nervous about the mix but I did not find it as sweet as I thought it would be. Perfect combination! read more

We were a large group and tried different dishes. The new Dallas location of Hurtado Barbecue is gorgeous - spacious, clean, and with a great patio perfect for outdoor dining or watching a game. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly. They always check in multiple times to make sure everything was just right. The food? The brisket melts in your mouth, the rub on the ribs is spot-on. I tried the Big Papa - baked potato with brisket and it was good. Our table tried the pork belly burnt ends, jalapeño mac n cheese and tacos and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. The tres leches banana pudding is a must-try! Everyone was raving about it.

We stopped in on a weeknight, so it wasn't too busy. There's a typical BBQ line setup for ordering, but the line was moving slowly, so we went ahead and ordered at the bar instead--easy enough, and they've got a full bar, which is always a plus. The restaurant is open and bright, with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu features classic Texas BBQ with a delicious Tex-Mex twist. Some special items are only available on weekends, so keep that in mind if you're hoping to try something unique. Service was super friendly, and once we ordered, the food came out quickly. We shared the El Jefe platter, and the portions were very generous--definitely great for sharing with several friends. Everything we tried was tasty: the charro beans were stellar, the turkey was surprisingly juicy, the hatch mac was creamy and flavorful, and the pulled pork with mustard BBQ sauce had a perfect tang and was nice and moist. The only letdown was the burnt ends, which didn't quite hit the mark. Overall, highly recommend if you're looking for solid Texas 'que with a twist. We'll definitely be back! read more

The food is 5 star. Generally the service is 4-5 star... BUT... I've had it with the "bar manager" who insists on having UFC on the TVs. The last thing I want to see when I'm eating is bloodied faces, people getting repeatedly punched in the head after they're already unconscious and literally having seizures on a blood covered mat. It's literally sickening and absolutely kills my appetite. Over the last year, I've spoken to 2 different managers who've assured me it wouldn't happen again, and I've spoken to this "bar manager" 3 different times before, but he keeps on doing it. Good grief, the literally once-every-4-years Olympics are on live today, yet the first thing I see walking through the door is a closeup of a grotesquely bloodied face. It's crazy. Little kids in the restaurant staring at the TV in disbelief, my stomach literally turning to the point where we just left. Other bartenders at Hurtado's (who don't put UFC on the TV) have confided in me that this guy does it because he's really into it and HE wants to watch it. Again, it's crazy. Are TVs for guests or for employees?!? This isn't some late night sports bar; it's a family restaurant (I thought) I live right across the street and I've really tried to work through your managers, but they either don't care or aren't able to address the problem. I'm done at this point; anytime I come through your door, if that guy is working, I'm turning right back around. It's a damned shame. I really want to love this neighborhood restaurant but this business makes it impossible. read more

One of the best BBQ places in town - actually DFW in our opinion yes, it's pricy but what BBQ isn't? So we feel the meat quality is always good and portions are sufficient - we actually shared one platter and had leftovers. Tender, do not need a knife - sides are numerous to choose from. Decent bar - soft drinks - tea available. Parking can be a challenge on weekends and busy times plus $$ in area. We found street parking about a block away for free so try a drive around or be ready to pay in adjacent lot. Makes for a fun outing - day trip to enjoy Farmers Market sheds - not the same old produce available like in old days. This is a high end 'spot to enjoy variety of goods - foods - drinks' and music. Places to sit and enjoy - they had Oktoberfest this past weekend with some speciality foods we enjoyed also. A fun day for all. We are glad not to drive over to Arlington now to enjoy the Hurtado BBQ - glad you are here! read more

Before we left Texas we wanted to at least stop somewhere to get BBQ. This was nearby and the menu looked pretty good. Thankfully the girl working the front brought us menus because we were looking at the board and it didn't quite have everything. You order at the counter and it's a cafeteria style joint. I will say this, pretty much everything was spicy. More than I'm used to for sure, but it didn't make it inedible to me, just hot. Not quite the portions I'm used to for the price. They also have sauces on the table for you. I will say this though, one my favorite things done right is turkey. My stepdad owned a BBQ restaurant for many years growing up so I got used to the most amazing turkey. This really reminded me of his. Very juicy and delicious. Really glad I made that choice. I also like that they had other flavors of fruit soda because sometimes strawberry just sounds so good. Friendly staff and plenty of seating. They have a parking lot and even a bar. It was pretty good. read more

Great bbq place to visit if you're in the farmers market area. You have the option of waiting in line to place your order or getting your order taken by one of the bartenders (which is what I did). The food comes out quick. The burnt ends are huge chunks of pork belly, and not burnt or drowning in sauce. The jalapeño sausage was my favorite. Along with the brisket beans. The cornbread was okay, kinda dry. The Mac and cheese was a liquidy kinda sauce, similar to terry blacks. But overall, it was a good experience and great tasting bbq. 3 people sharing the 3 meat/2 sides platter plus another 1/2lb of ribs and 2 extra sides, plus 1 banana pudding was about $80. GET THE BANANA PUDDING. Fresh bananas, and a different kind of cookie that's not a vanilla wafer or chessman. That is all. read more

What a cool place! It is a vibing marketplace around the location and you walk into the beautiful smell of smoked meats. The bar was on the side, so you can sit with the kids in a separate room. There is also outdoor seating. The folks taking the order were polite and helpful when ordering. The lean brisket and texas twinkies are highly recommended. Coleslaw not exactly my style, a lot of red onion that can drown out other flavors. My favorite side was by far the cabbage with bacon! read more

Okay Okay... I want to first say that I come from a city that is known for BBQ so it is really hard to impress me. Food & Price Point (3/5): We got the Big Papa , 2 Meats plate, and a Twinkie ( $60) . Now first issue, the 2 piece meat plate literally came with one rib LOL. I understand that they measure out the meat to be 1/4 of a lb each, but when you see that translate to ONE rib .... that is literally laughable. The meat itself on the plate was good, but not outstanding. My stuffed potato was good, but my potato itself could have been been cooked a little longer, and the amount of meat was less than I would have expected. I think the best part of the meals were the Green Beans and the Twinkie (Stuffed Pepper) . Service/Location (5/5): This Hurtado location is very nice, clean, and spacious. Located right next to the Dallas Farmers Market! I swear everyone working there spoke to us, made sure we were comfortable, and they were very attentive! read more
