    Pit tour with pit master Bryce who was very open to showing us around.

    This is my third Hurtado location to visit. I'm a huge fan! All of Hurtado's meats are fantastic, especially the brisket and ribs. They have unique sides. Even something like Mac'n'cheese is jazzed up with flavor. The manager and pit master were awesome to allow us to check out the smokers. You gotta go to Hurtado!!

    I wouldn't say that I am huge on BBQ to begin with, however if given the choice I would pick Hurtado Barbecue every time. I love the idea of BBQ with a little Mexican food influence. A highlight for me is the tacos, I would probably order this every time I go. The food itself all has some uniqueness to it and you can't go wrong with anything you order. I would recommend this location over the one in near the football stadium in Arlington. There was a lot of space here and a short line to order. Overall great unique spot for some SOLID BBQ with some personality.

    You already know, they are known for their BBQ!...so I ordered ahead and was lucky to find parking, so I sat and ate at the restaurant. Parking is a challenge. Burnt ends were sooooo good , my fav ! The bacon ranch potato salad was missing something , not the best, but the elote made up for it , the banana tres leches pudding isssss amazing yum! I got a Texas Twinkie and I'm obsessed! The menu is rather large, they have smash burger as well. I'm gonna have to go back to try all the things. Everyone was so friendly , really enjoyed our meal at this location. That's all for now

    I don't eat red meat. I don't eat red meat. I don't e... I would like the brisket tostada, please! Hurtado hurt me so good! Geez, this Tex-Mex, BBQ fusion situation is good. I've known about them for a while. I heard the Arlington location is better. I don't know. What I do know is that I didn't feel guilty for eating their brisket. If I'm going to eat red meat, I want it to be good red meat. Ya know?! Everyone enjoyed their choices. The cornbread was muffin like, soft, and flavorful. The beans were yummy. The sometimes picky, little people raved about the brisket birria. Unfortunately, non red meat/pork options are limited. Maybe add a turkey sandwich or jalapeno chicken sliders to the menu. Just a suggestion, Chef. Now here's the issue. Seating. It's limited. Unless you sit in the back patio section (it was too hot for this), there's no room when it gets busy. We tried to go to the Fort Worth location when family came into town. Same. We walked in and immediately walked out because of the lack of seating.

    Ribs, Jalapeno Sausage, Green Beans and Tater Tot Casserole

    Loved it. This was my 3rd visit to this location. We brought out of town friends here for dinner and Hurtado's did not disappoint. The ordering line was longish. My wife grabbed a booth while the rest of us stood in line. For our friends, the time in line allowed them plenty of time to study the menu. The four of us ordered: - 1# of Pork Ribs, 1 link Jalapeno Sausage, Tater Tot Casserole and Green Beans - Birria Taco and Cole Slaw - Burger and Hatch Chile Mac and Cheese The ribs were excellent. They're spare ribs, so they're fatter than baby backs, but they were seasoned and smoked nicely and were very tasty. The sausage was excellent as well. Just enough heat. The green beans had onions and bacon and were great. The Tater Tot casserole was decent as well. My friend had the Birria taco. She does not care for food that has any spice with heat and surprisingly, she felt it was a bit hot for her - yet she enjoyed her taco. Her husband had the burger and Hatch Chile Mac and cheese and enjoyed both. In addition to the food and just as importantly is the staff at this location. Every single one of them I encountered this visit was very pleasant, seemed very appreciative of us being there and were so helpful. Great attitudes all around. I'm so happy to have a Hurtado's so close to where our new home will be.

    Maybe my tastebuds are a little different, but I'm just not seeing what the hype is about. On my recent visit I ordered all of the things because I have the appetite of a varsity football player. All of the sides were just...ok. Everything was just lacking flavor. Mac & cheese, green beans, beans, elote...they were all just ok. That seems to be a common weakness for all of the popular bbq places in TX so I'm not really surprised. The ribs and brisket were good though. Great smokey flavor, tender, and the meat was falling off the bone like it was supposed to do. No sauce needed! But speaking of sauce, it was a miss for me. Way too sweet and too thin (that's a personal preference though). Another miss was the chicken. It was very photogenic but tasted chewy and bland. Like they just poured a bunch of honey on the chicken and threw it in the oven to bake. The staff there was soo sweet and kind that I didn't have it in me to tell them that I didn't like my chicken and sides. I just dumped the sides and took the chicken home to make chicken salad. My friends rave about the beef ribs though so I might give those a try. Hurtado shines with its pork and beef so I'll just stick with those if I return.

    Fat with limited meat brisket.

    Have been here before and food was good. Went last Friday night and the food was awful. My brisket was nothing but fat. My son's brisket was dry. My wife's food was also gross. Extremely disappointed in the staff who began stacking chairs at 8:30 when the restaurant closes at 9. Would not recommend eating here at all!

    Different than the Arlington location you can't see what you're ordering. But they let you sample things. The Mac n cheese taste like nachos. That BBQ chicken was the best one I've ever eaten. Interesting spin on things.

    Let me tell y'all I have been in the Arlington/Mansfield area since 2019 and I am mad at myself for not trying this barbecue place sooner. I have always heard people talk about it and how good it is so today I made a last minute decision to try it. I arrived an hour before they closed on a Saturday and the service was pretty fast even though it was a good amount of people in there. This location was clean and the lighting was dim but very inviting. Once I got back home, I opened it up and the food looked and smelled really good. The presentation had already roped me in. I ordered the Beria tacos and the mac & cheese with green chiles and the brisket beans. I initially ordered elotes but they were out.I took that first bite of food and just had to shake my head because it was so darn good. The flavors paired perfectly together and the more I chewed it the better it got. The mac and cheese was creamy with the right amount of sauce. If you don't like beans you will after eating the ones here... VERY VERY flavorful! Now the birra tocos ..... brisket was juicy, well seasoned, and the toppings set it off. I almost forgot to tell you I ordered 3 tacos thinking one wouldn't be enough and they are not stingy with the filling at all! I was full after the first one. I vow to never eat at another barbecue place ever unless there's no way to get here. I mean the food was so delicious I had to call someone and tell them about it. We will for sure be back! Don't be like me... add this place to your next meal no need to debate.

    El Jefe and Texas Twinkies
    Cindy N.

    I think the downtown Arlington location was better. The meat was cold, the Mac and cheese was cold. They should butter and toast the bread...we just got plain bread, which I think is common? Texas Twinkies were good and super spicy, just how we like them. Service was good. This one is closer, but think we will make the trek to downtown if we want it again.

    Went in a party of 6 and ordered two El Jefe platters and we still had left overs. The staff were really nice and helpful when we ordered and food came out pretty quickly. The BBQ is delicious. No complaints. Plenty of seating for parties of 4 in the middle and then bigger parties along the wall in booths. Overall loved it.

    Kedra G.

    Omg, what a wonderful experience all the way around!!! And the food did not disappoint, we'll have to get the pit tour next time because we are stuffed lol! Delicious Must do the sampler player not sure of the name but well worth it!!! We will be back for sure!!

    birria tacos (order per taco)
    Marianne N.

    Tried this place out because I was craving meat and my brother was craving mexican. So stumbled upon this place and wasn't disappointed. When you walk in, ordering counter/kitchen is on left. You order at the counter, they give you number stand, and you can find seating (mixture of tables and booths). Food is brought out to you and there's 1 type of bbq sauce on the table. Service was nice and we left with bellies full. Would recommend and would come again.

    Is it a byb place?

    Not as far as i know, they sell beer there

    Noise level? Do they have loud music playing that we can't each other talk?

    No music that I recall was playing. If it were it was at a low volume.

The hardest part is choosing the sides because they're all amazing, from classic BBQ sides like potato salad, fried okra, baked beans, corn, collard greens, and mac and cheese to Ethiopian sides like shiro wat (chickpea stew), misir wat (red lentil stew), tikil gomen (cabbage and carrots), and more. Even berbere-spiced mac and cheese! Berbere is an incredible blend of Ethiopian spices that is amazing on everything, savory or sweet.

It was a nice alternative to traditional sauces. While we enjoyed our meal, and I would order the ribs and chicken stew again, this place is a bit too far for a repeat.
