    I came for a bbq stuffed baked potato but they sadly didn't have any at the time. It was then that I saw they have nachos. Nachos with brisket! I love a good nacho and these were outstanding. The cheese sauce was a fantastic consistency and had lots of meat on top. Between two of us we were unable to finish the order. I can't wait to get more! Get there early because they do close at 8PM!

    Thinly sliced, dry, grey brisket with only a hint of a ring.

    I was aware of the 4.5-Star rating since last fall and had been wanting to give it a shot. So I decided to pop in while driving past last night. I don't like giving a 1-Star review, but this certainly warrants it. My belief is that the food should be just as good on a slow Tuesday as a busy Saturday. The brisket was dry and grey (see the picture below); smoked chicken salad was tasteless; sausage tasted store bought. The pulled pork was average, but again, very very dry. The jalapeno potato salad was good. I was literally the only person in the place on a Tuesday night and yet, it took about 15 minutes for my food to come out. I started to read the most recent reviews and still thought, certainly it can't be that bad. Until it was.

    Sweet little place with excellent food and service!

    WOW! We were pleasantly surprised by how amazing this place was! Decorated with many Hays County awards like "Best BBQ" and "Best Queso" we figured it wouldn't disappoint but we were totally blown away by the tenderness and the portion sizes. Real Texas BBQ y'all! I got the brisket nachos with their amazing hatch chili queso and it was phenomenal as was the jalapeño potato salad. This will always be a stop when we visit Austin!

    Brisket the way brisket is suppose to be made! Also... wrapped in an homemade flour tortilla?! Yes please Get the jalapeño potato salad and thank me later. Dip the sausage in the honey. Drink Big Red. Do it all and do it often

    Always great service! Food is always hot and yummy. Very accommodating for COVID19. I wouldn't change this place even if I could. Love it! I will continue to tell my friends and be back soon! Thank you.

    Sausage wrap jerky!

    I ordered a sausage wrap and the sausage was so well done it was like eating jerky. So disappointed! They were shriveled up barely the size of a finger like they had been sitting around for two days. Ca barely bite through it.

    Great people!

    We went out to Shugabees for the first time this weekend on our way to float the river - it was one of the best decisions we made that day! I had the pulled pork with the awesome mustard sauce and my boyfriend got the brisket. They wrap their tender and flavorful meat in wonderfully warm handmade flour tortillas - something very unique for a BBQ place (At least in my opinion). I got 1/4 lb. of meat and it was a huge portion, especially with the tortilla! Every bite was delicious. We also got the jalapeno potato salad - if you like a kick of spice, you will LOVE this potato salad!! It has so much flavor and texture, I was not disappointed. Then for dessert, we had the Beenana pudding. This dessert really hit the spot - it has nilla wafers on the bottom and top plus homemade whipped cream. Can't get much better than that! Plus, the owners are super sweet, friendly, and willing to answer as many questions as you have about the menu. They recently switched locations, so please go out there an give them the love they deserve! You won't regret it :)

    I've only tried it twice. I found the brisket tough and greasy and the sauce unimpressive. There are so many great alternatives.

Whether it's tacos, enchiladas, or anything else on the menu, the quality is consistently perfect every single time. What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. They're always so kind, welcoming, and accommodating -- you can tell they truly care about their customers. It's one of those rare places where you walk in and feel like family.

I'm not exaggerating at all when I say they hit every single craving perfectly. From the very first bite, I knew these tacos were on a completely different level compared to anything I've tried before. The flavor, the freshness, the way everything came together--it was honestly incredible. I've had tacos from a lot of different places, but nothing has come close to tasting this good. I genuinely don't know what they put in these tacos to make them taste so amazing, but whatever they're doing, they've absolutely perfected it. The first time I tried them felt almost surreal. It reminded me of that iconic scene in the movie *Ratatouille* where the food critic takes a bite and instantly gets transported back to his childhood, remembering his mom's homemade cooking. That's honestly the closest way I can describe the feeling--it was like pure comfort and nostalgia all in one bite. On top of the incredible food, the **prices are amazing**. It's honestly surprising that food this good can still be so affordable. You're getting top-tier flavor and quality without paying crazy prices, which makes the experience even better. It's rare to find a place where the food is this delicious and the prices are still so reasonable. Overall, Briana's Taqueria completely exceeded my expectations. Between the flavor, the quality, and the value, it's easily one of the best food experiences I've had in a long time. If you're even thinking about trying it, I would **highly recommend it**--you definitely won't regret it.

    Came here on a Sunday for lunch. This is completely outdoors only and they're technically a food…read moretruck. It was pretty empty when we got there but filled in as time went on. Nice thing about them was they gave us samples when we were curious about an item on their menu. Their brisket was excellent. It was seasoned just right, not too fatty (you can request to get the fat cut off too if you want) and tender. You can order pork ribs by number of ribs instead of weight strictly. Their hatch Mac n cheese was fire. They add jalapenos to it and it was very creamy. Their beans had bits and pieces of brisket in them as well. Overall, a great BBQ place. Was just a bit uncomfortable sitting outside to eat on a toasty summer day.

I guess the photos on google/yelp showing an indoor location are from their previous spot, though they did say they will be going back to brick and mortar spot at some point. Happily it wasn't too steamy outside so we decided to stay though the fact that there are no bathrooms at all was a definite negative (two of our party had to go to the pizza place next door and buy something to use their restrooms!). That being said the staff was very friendly and even offered us a free sample of the turkey while we were deciding which honestly is what convinced us to stay! It was super moist and flavorful. I ordered a half pound of pork ribs, ended up with .6lb which was only two ribs- but they were big and ended up being a surprising amount of meat. Ribs were tender but not falling off the bone, no complaint there I don't want the meat to be mushy; flavor was good and sauce was decent though nothing special. The green chili Mac was pretty tasty though extremely creamy, I'm not exactly complaining lol but I like more cheese heavy. The potato salad was solid and they gave us plenty of onions and pickles. Other members of our party approved of the chicken, brisket, and jalapeño cheese sausage. I didn't hear anyone say it was the best bbq they'd ever tasted but it was solid, flavorful, and satisfying fare. I would return especially to a brick and mortar- Texas summers are just too hot to eat heavy food outside! Parking seemed limited but we went at 3pm on a Wednesday so it wasn't an issue.
