We stayed inside but it was good to see they had something for kids. My curiosity was piqued when I saw barbecue tacos on the menu. That's not something I have had, but my husband has. I went for something I was familiar with, Birria tacos. Omg! They were filled with meat and cheese, and were lightly fried. Anytime I've gotten birria, there is some fat and juice involved, and theirs was similar. It lends to the flavor. The meat was tender and the broth that it is served with is SO tasty! It was a little spicy but a friend and I agreed the flavor is beautiful! I'm an intermittent faster and a light eater,so I was ready for this meal, but one taco and Mac n cheese was enough for me, but my husband ordered two bbq tacos and shared in on the Mac n cheese. Prices are definitely affordable. Hubby loved the barbecue tacos as well as the macaroni n cheese. Normally, I don't eat pasta, but I wanted to try it. The cheese was very flavorful and the macaroni was cooked between al dente and stracotto. We finished it, no problem! The service was good. I ordered the cherry limeade cocktail and it was light and tasty. Yum! The only negative was that they ran out of the blonde beer my husband really enjoyed. Maybe someone enjoyed themselves to it before we got there. If you're in the area, GO FOR IT! You won't be disappointed!

Absolutely one of my favorite spots to go to! I really enjoy the IPA! The te amor lager is so good!…read moreAnd let's talk about the food, the Texas Twinkies are some of the best I've had! They are a jalapeño stuffed with brisket and cream cheese , wrapped in bacon , smoked to perfection and glazed with bbq sauce! Also amazing! I've had most of the items , and they don't disappoint! Burnt ends are my fav! The nachos are so yum! And they have a true southern corn bread here! So if you are in the mood for something comforting come to Del toro! It's a brewery so it has bar vibes and cute restaurant atmosphere. The service is great ! We enjoy coming here regularly. That's all... buh bye!

Others in the party ordered a sweet potato with brisket. The brisket was awesome--very moist and a good smoke flavor definitely not overboard. Another member got ribs, sausage, and lamb dishes--the cook on meats were perfect. And last but not least the bread---completely spongy and airy, great sourdough like taste, Service and friendliness of staff definitely made you feel at home. The worst problem with this place is it's in Arlington and we're from Frisco. But we all agreed to make the hour trip for the next birthday in our family group. Just simply outstanding.

Each dish had unique use of Ethiopian inspiration, especially the nachos I had. The platter is huge and there is no way one person can finish it. The chips are Ethiopian toast points and added a crunch that was delightful. The ribs were cooked perfectly. They did not fall off the bone which we like. They are true competition ribs allowing you to nibble off the bone. Granddaughter loved the flavor and juicy quality of her brisket! I'm giving the restaurant 3 stars because we had to wait for our food for over an hour. The wait staff were a bit indifferent to our order and had to be reminded twice our order was not complete. The restaurant was not that busy prompting me to believe there is a disconnect between the front and back of the house. The restaurant is in a strip center in Arlington. It's a comfortable little restaurant and bar and the adult beverages looked delicious!!

We almost didn't wait but so glad we did. So one of the guys came out and did a menu introduction and a Goldee's intro as well. Without futher ado here's the order: 2 lbs of brisket 2 links of Lao sausage (Sticky rice/fish sauce) Kale Cole Slaw Potato Salad A subtle smell of seasoning & traditional seasoned Texas Post Oak smoke rolled out of the front door... At the counter we were greeted with two gentleman slicing and dicing all the proteins. A tray stacked with the goods we made our way to a table. First bite of brisket without sauce.... Perfect, literally the way I think a brisket should be served hot dripping with juices. No one asked what type of cut or the dreaded "lean or wet" question was asked nor was it needed. Brisket and sauce was just as delectable. The bark was well rounded never offensive or bitter. The Lao sausage was a well received addition though maybe not the compliment to the brisket. Sides: Potato Salad was straight out of a Bavarian Beir Garten with the green onions and vinegar. Excellent touch to cut the rich meats. Kale Slaw again was another great addition with the cutting hint of ACV. Excellent well rounded rendering of the Texas tradition of fall apart smoked meats. I'd say the #3 ranking Texas Top 50 BBQ joints fits really well. I'm going to recommend and suggest this Brisket to strangers near and far. Job well done.

If you like a stronger black pepper taste in your bbq then I think you'll like it. I do think their subtle asian twists on bbq is cool and unique. Ordered: - Brisket - They give alternate half and half lean vs moist. It was good I liked it. - Beef Ribs - Mom was interested in trying it so we got it. I'm just a pork rib girl more than a beef rib girl. - Pork Ribs - Unfortunately, it wasn't as "fall of the bone" as other places. It may have just been the piece we got, but the one we had was 70% bark and 30% meat (if that make sense, I prefer more of a true 50/50 split) - Lamb Ribs - Not something you see at every bbq so we got some to try. I liked it. Can't decide which one I like more between pork vs lamb ribs. - Lao Sausage - Their sausage is kinda big. I felt like 1 sausage is the size of 2 sausages at other bbq joints. It's serves with sticky rice and honestly it works really well. - Mac & Cheese - A bit heavy on the pepper. It was alright not my favorite mac and cheese. - South Carolina Pork Hash - a unique side that is special to them. Pork Gravy over jasmine rice. Too mushy for me. - Lemon Kale Slaw - It was alright. Not my favorite slaw. - Banana Pudding - Yummy. I really like their banana pudding. It had a slight cinnamon and almost graham cracker taste to it. - House made bread - Yummy. Almost like a sweet roll meets white bread. We went on a rainy Friday morning. Arrived at 9:30 ish, got our food and seated by 12:30 ish. Asked the dude first in line what time he got there and he said 7:30ish. People abandon their lawn chairs so they had a decent amount near the entrance of the store that people just borrow while they're waiting. When the rain got bad, they let customers wait in the covered area where they store the smokers which was nice.

The self-serve wall with beer and alcohol taps (limited selection of mixed drinks) is awesome as you get to pour yourself drinks and are charged by the ounce. Want a half a beer? Not a problem, just pour half. The food is fresh and you're provided with generous portions. Things we've tried and liked: chicken nachos, taco trio, and various hot dogs/brats.
