    Brisket Nachos
    Marian G.

    I was craving something BBQ and didn't want to drive far. I remember HEB has a BBQ restaurant inside their grocery store with a drive thru. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews, but I wanted to try it myself. I got brisket nachos included queso blanco, sour cream on the side, jalapeños, and green onions. I threw a side of Mac and cheese in there to try. To my surprising it was actually good meal! Not the best BBQ in the world but it did its job. Nachos were very fulfilling and at first thought there wasn't enough cheese but the amount was perfect. Majority had sinked down in the bottom. Brisket was really tender, and they give you plenty of it. I also liked their version of mac & cheese. It makes me want to try other things on the menu.

    First time trying this place and well, the bbq was pretty good. We got the pulled pork (my fave), sausage (which was also yummy), the brisket (so tender!), and the turkey (also, pretty yummy). The sauces were also delish and paired perfectly with the meat. We got the Mac and cheese as our side, which was ok, since the pasta was too soft for my liking, but the hit of the night was the banana pudding. Definitely one of the best I've ever had. The pudding was light and airy, wasn't too sweet, and the wafers were soft and the bananas completed it. Make sure you buy some and try it for yourself. Overall, it was delicious and all of it cost under $35.

    First time here!! Inside H-E-B. I've been waiting to try this BBQ out. My mom and I met at HEB to buy groceries but we wanted to eat first. I got lean brisket and burnt ends with collard greens and brisket beans. I have to admit that the collard greens were the best I've ever had! I finished every single piece! The brisket was nice and Smokey and the burnt ends hit me hard with flavor !! The brisket beans topped it off ! I definitely recommend trying this place out.

    True Texas BBQ is located inside the HEB Mansfield location, serving great BBQ, sides, and drinks in an all new inclusive establishment, bringing thousands of Texans together to eat amazing food while picking up everyday house essentials in the brand new grocery store! I came through on a Tuesday to enjoy the all-day happy hour special on draft beers and grabbed a bite to eat. Upon entrance, a sign says no shopping carts allowed, so I'd highly advise you to eat before you shop or head through the drive-through window that is located outside. There is a kiosk available to make purchases in the front for quick service, which is for to go orders or dine in. The only exception is that no alcohol will be made available to purchase through the kiosk. Inside, they have a fountain drink area that serves soft drinks and a cold bar referridgerator bar that has lemonade, sweet tea, and a variety of bottled drink options. As for the draft beers they have on tap, all of them are TX beers and are priced differently. The draft selection is written on a colorful chalkboard and is labeled by the type of beer, a description, and the ABV% along with the price. I decided to get the brisket nachos along with 2 drafts to wash it all down. Inside the dining area, there are multiple tables and chairs along with stools to sit at to enjoy your food. There is also a flat-screen tv inside playing sports as well. Within minutes, my name was called, and my brisket nachos were ready for pickup. The nachos were looking elegant and classy, and all I wanted to do was dive in. The nachos were topped with chopped brisket, queso Blanco, and drizzled with sour cream. They were garnished with bright, vibrant, perfectly cut green onions and complemented with your choice of spicy or sweet BBQ sauce. The brisket was flavorful and smokey while the ice cold draft beers were clean and crisp. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience at True Texas BBQ, where the drinks and food definitely hit the spot. The customer service was as Texan as could be, while the food variety and choices were plentiful. The prices were average, and the Tuesday Happy Hour was as good as it gets! I'm looking forward to coming back and trying something new, maybe a meat platter or one of the delicious sides they have to offer.

    Grabbed some food to take home after grocery shopping. Service - excellent, employees were very helpful. Prices - They are not bad for the amount you get, but not sure if it's worth it taste/quality wise. Brisket - It's pretty salty & more greasy than it should be. Turkey - Dry, I know turkey can get dry but... yep. Generous portion size with this one. Sausage - This was the best out of our 3 meats, great taste. Potato salad - Good choice for our side, happy with it. Cornbread - It was so-so, this was also a generous portion. Not really wowed by it, it's nothing special but it didn't taste bad. The flavors are there.

    We come here a couple times a month before grocery shopping. Never want to grocery shop on an empty stomach! BBQ is not the world's best but it's very tasty. Service has been pretty good every time. I especially love that they have beers on tap. Their stuffed baked potatoes are a great deal! Our favs are creamed corn, loaded mac and cheese with sliced brisket, brisket nachos, El jefe sandwich, and of coarse the loaded bake potatoes.

    2 meat plate with 2 sides

    We chose to taste test the 2 meat plate with 2 sides. Sliced Brisket (lean) and Turkey. Sides we chose Mac-n-cheese and Serrano Cornbread. There were approx 8 people in the restraunt. We chose 2 sodas. ( I say this, only to comment both the ice dispensers were completely out of ice) (Update 30 minutes later and still no ice in the dispensers) Taste - Brisket was good but a little to dry for our tastes. Turkey was also tasty but, a little dry. Serrano cornbread was actually very good(but don't go looking for heat from this item). Mac-n-cheese was also pretty good and creamy. Not the best BBQ by any means , but it's ok?

    First visit to Hurtado's in Mansfield, and I came away impressed…read more Parking is a little limited since the lot is shared with a few other businesses. I could see it being an issue during the early hours of opening on the weekends, but probably not as much in the evenings. Inside, it has a cozy, almost dive-bar feel, just not dark. LOL. There's a small bar tucked into the back corner, several four-person tables, and a couple of wooden booths along one wall. When you walk in, you order at the counter window. They give you a number for the table, you grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. The staff was friendly and polite, checking on us here and there without hovering. I went with the Texas Trinity Platter: brisket, pork ribs, garlic & pepper sausage, and Mexican street corn for my side. I also ordered a Brisket Tostada. The brisket had a nice smoke ring, decent bark, and that Central Texas, Mex-Tex seasoning profile. What I enjoyed most was the seasoning wasn't too salty or laid on too thick. It added flavor without masking the beef. The pork ribs were moist and close to fall off the bone, but still held together enough to get a good bite. There was plenty of smoke, and again, the seasoning complemented the pork instead of overpowering it. For the sausage, I chose the garlic & pepper. It had a good snap, was juicy inside, and had a light garlic flavor with a little pepper coming through. The texture was a medium grind with a good balance of lean meat and fat. But the surprise for me was the Brisket Tostada. The tostada was crisp and thick enough to support everything piled on top. There's a thin layer of refried beans, thick slices of brisket, a little salsa verde, cotija cheese, and a drizzle of Valentina's. And yes, you can actually pick the thing up and eat it without it falling apart or turning soggy. I'll admit I was eating it a little faster than usual--not because I was worried about it falling apart, but because it was that good. LOL. The salsa verde helped cut through the richness of the brisket and beans, while the Valentina's added a little extra kick without taking over. The Mexican street corn was also well seasoned without being heavy-handed and worked well with all the meats. For a first visit, Hurtado's checked a lot of boxes for me. Awesome barbecue, friendly service, and that Brisket Tostada alone gives me a reason to come back. Since it's not too far from the house, I can see this becoming one of my regular BBQ spots.

    Maaaan we finally tried this place and we were not disappointed! We came here after a day in the…read moresun and were starving so we got the El Jefe to feed our family of 3 with a few additional sides. With the El Jefe platter we got to try ribs, brisket, smoked turkey, burnt ends, pulled pork and a sausage link with two sides (Mac and cheese and baked beans). We ordered a birria taco, small cup of cornbread and elote corn for good measure. The meat was all great, the ribs were tender and falling off the bone, the turkey had a great smoked flavor and was tender as well. The brisket had a good seasoning and the sausage was also delicious. The real star of the show for me was the sides. Their baked beans are like a Mexican -bbq fusion which I've never had before and LOVED. Seriously, a bit of cilantro and seasonings made for a great flavor profile. My husband was swearing by the corn and how tasty it was and my son really enjoyed the Mac and cheese. While we loved 90% of this meal the only thing I would probably not order again was the cornbread - it was pretty dry even with the honey/syrup. It crumbled everywhere and the Birria taco was good, but just missing a bit of spice and hot sauce for me. There was a line of about 10 people ahead of us when we arrived and we probably waited about 30 minutes to actually leave with our food in hand. It felt like it went by quickly. Inside was packed with people eating but they had a nice little bar area towards the back and multiple TVs showing sporting events and things. The walk ways got a little cramped while waiting, but it wasn't terrible. All in all, we spent about $70 bucks to eat here and it was definitely worth it and we'll be back.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of. We got to go and our food was still hot. You could tell the food was prepared with care. Even with the long wait, the great customer service made a big difference. Definitely a place we'd consider coming back to!

    I'm sorry but I would not recommend this barbecue joint. Sorry guys, I love your story and think…read moreit's cool. I'm assuming you guys live not having to work a full week and make enough money in a couple of days to live happily. But I'm just gonna tell you the truth from a customer's perspective. Let me first tell you that I have been a barbecue fanatic for approximately 7 years. It started the first time I went to a REAL barbecue joint in Lockhart. I had no idea barbecue could be this good. Then when I saw my first Texas Monthly Top 50 Passport at Hutchins in McKinney, I was on a mission. That award period I visited 38 of the top 50. Since then I've probably been to 60+ locations that have at one time or another landed on the Top 50 list. I've only been to Goldee's once but here are my take away: - I arrived at 11:00am on a Friday. The line wasn't terrible and I made it to the counter at 12:30pm. In just that short period of time they ran out of all their specialty offerings for the day except lamb sausage, which can be common. But they also ran out of their everyday pork ribs. Now COME ON! This place was #1 last ranking and #3 this time. You can't cook enough ribs to take care of customers that line up when you open? - The lamb sausage was very good. It definitely stood out as something unique, memorable and noteworthy. - Brisket was good but nothing that made me think it was better than most and definitely not worth coming back and standing in line for. - Side items: all they had that was appealing to me was Mac and cheese and pinto beans and neither of those were notable. - I ordered a beef rib because they were out of everything else. No turkey, pork, chicken. It was like any other beef rib. Good but way too rich and greasy. I can never eat much of that. And I like VERY moist (fatty) brisket. - That brings me to my next point. This is the ONLY place I have ever heard of that does not let you pick the style of brisket you like. They force you to take half moist and half lean. The reason I never cared for barbecue (particularly brisket) before I went to Lockhart was because it was too dry. Even with proper Texas BBQ, I NEVER eat lean brisket. There just isn't enough flavor and juice for my liking. On the other hand, I know several people that hate all the fat. And they are forcing those people to take what they do not like in order to get what they want. It is an insane way to serve Texas BBQ. - Drinks? They have a standup cooler with some sodas and bottled tea. It's hard to find a BBQ joint in Texas that does serve fresh brewed tea. They don't. - Location and seating: it's basically like a single-wide mobile home. Very small entry/order area and very few seats. If you don't get there 2 hours before they open, you will be standing outside for 1.5+ hours, maybe spend 15 mins inside, and have to take your food to go. - Hours?! I'm sorry, I understand you can do what you want, work when you want, have whatever quality of life you want. But if you're gonna be sought out as the best of the best in Texas, think about your customers. Limiting yourself to only being open a couple of days per week makes it very difficult and uncomfortable for your customers to visit you. I can see you getting a handful of regulars and all those people like me that HAVE TO try you, but it definitely is not geared towards taking care of us and wanting us to come back. Bottom line, if you HAVE TO try them, I suggest getting there 1.5-2 hours before they open on a Friday. If you get there at 11, there's a good chance you will have wasted time in line for mediocre barbecue with very limited options. But these are the reasons why I would never recommend you and never think about coming back.

Then I accidentally parked in the wrong spot while going to get my nails done, looked up, and saw Hurtado. Clearly, lunch was meant to happen! I ordered the three-meat plate with brisket, ribs, and poblano sausage, plus bacon ranch potato salad, macaroni and cheese, and tater tot casserole. I'll admit, I wondered whether all the extras in the sides might be doing too much. Well, after bringing everything home and digging in, I can say it absolutely worked. The ribs were tender and delicious, with great barbecue flavor. The poblano sausage was amazing! I've had jalapeño cheddar sausage before, but this was something different and so good. The brisket had a wonderful smoky flavor, although it wasn't quite as tender as I expected on my first serving. It had cooled down some by the time I got home, and when I reheated it for round two, it was much more tender. Next time, I'll ask whether I can get a leaner cut, just as a personal preference. Now, the sides deserve their own moment. The bacon ranch potato salad had a finely mashed texture, with delicious bacon and green onions on top. Chef's kiss! The macaroni and cheese had spiral pasta, a little jalapeño heat, and such a creamy, delicious sauce. I've never had any quite like it. The tater tot casserole was another winner. It reminded me a little of Cracker Barrel's hash brown casserole, but with a smoky, bacon-like flavor and a much finer potato texture. My first thought was, "Is this cauliflower?" It wasn't--it was just a different texture than I expected, and oh my goodness, it was good. Even the bread had that sweet, Hawaiian-style taste that I love. I'm picky about barbecue sauce, so I wasn't sure what to expect there either. This one was sweet with a hint of Tex mex flavor and a little something different in the seasoning that worked so well with the barbecue. I loved it. The portions were generous, especially the sides, and my takeout container was full of meat and two slices of bread. Service was quick, too. My food came out about five minutes after I sat down, and they offered me water while I waited. I went in hoping the food would live up to everything I'd heard, and it was even better than I imagined. Everything had its own flavor, and it all came together so well. Now I'm thinking about that meal and already looking forward to going back!
