If y'all are looking for some real Texas style bbq, I promise El Tejas Twist is where you want to be. I had no idea this place existed until I hopped on tiktok and saw a video of their glorious food. I knew I had to have it and I quickly made my way over. As soon as I pulled up and saw the place, I Instantly knew I was where I needed to be. From the massive exposed smokers to the awesome family friendly outdoor area, I could tell this was gonna be good. I walked in and placed my order with a very sweet lady at the front counter. I had to get the Tejas Trinity (ribs, brisket, sausage). This is the same thing I typically order when trying any new bbq spot. It came with a side, so I ordered some charro beans and I also added a Texas Twinkie (jalapeño stuffed with brisket and seasoned cream cheese, wrapped in bacon). I also noticed that they sold tamales, so I had to order a half dozen of the birria and a half dozen pulled pork to take home. After a short wait, they called my name. I quickly made my way to the front and grabbed my food. It was a magnificent sight indeed. The first thing I tried was the brisket. I asked for the fatty/moist cut. When I tell y'all this was some of the best brisket I've ever had, just know that I'm not lying. I would honestly put this up there with some of the greats (Franklin's, Cooper's, Black's). The bark itself was full of flavor and it was extremely tender and juicy. I then tried the ribs. These things had the perfect bite to them!!! Whatever seasoning they used was incredible. I'd easily put these ribs against any others in the business. I chose the jalapeño sausage and to my surprise, it wasn't even remotely spicy, which is a huge plus for me and my family. We're some wimps when it comes to spicy food. Either way, the sausage was perfect. That Texas Twinkie was calling my name. My favorite spot for Texas Twinkies has always been Hutchins BBQ. Ifykyk, so needless to say, I was very shocked when these instantly took over the number 1 spot. I think the difference was in the cream cheese. I feel like Tejas Twist has something extra mixed in there. Last but definitely not least was the charro beans. I've traveled all over the US and Mexico and had charro beans from many different restaurants. These beans in particular are now in my top 3 for sure. They were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I got home about 2 hours later and told my wife and kids I got some tamales. We all tried them together and were taken back at how amazing they were. In our opinion, these are how tamales should be made. The ratio was absolutely spot on. The birria tamales dipped in the consommé was a match made in heaven and the pulled pork with the verde sauce was right there with them. Easily some of the best tamales I've ever had. I can't recommend this place enough!!! Now that I know how good their food is, I would easily travel hours for it. My only regret was not ordering some of their amazing desserts. I won't make that mistake next time. read more
