    Chicken katsu and shrimp plate with double mac salad
    Daniel J.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I'm glad I finally did! Easy ordering system with a tablet at the front. The staff was extremely friendly and sweet. Food was made fresh when I ordered it. Portions are VERY generous too, so it's a great value for the price. Pretty comparable to other Hawaiian bbq places I've tried here and in California. I recommend this place if you're in the area!

    3 combo: chicken katsu, BBQ short ribs, BBQ chicken
    Daniel T.

    Comfort homemade vibes with friendly staff I would call this a 4. 5 stars if you have the proper expectations. The food isn't going to blow you away. It has more a homemade touch to it versus the classic restaurant overflowing with flavor and fats. So in one sense it's not as impressive, but with the excellent and friendly service you may feel at home. My wife and I got a make your own 3 combo plate and chose the BBQ chicken, BBQ short ribs, and chicken katsu. Also got spam musubi (comes in 2). The BBQ chicken easily won the night. The smokey BBQ flavor and tenderness were great. The BBQ short ribs came in next, a good mix of fatty but doesn't stand out. The chicken katsu is lighter fried than expected but still is crispy. Again doesn't stand out. The spam musubi surprisingly was disappointing. The rice was mushy and there was no sauce between the spam and rice and there was a lot of rice so the flavor to rice ratio was off. I was more forgiving and would come again to try other items since it's nearby but my wife was less so. 4 stars

    Any 3 Items Combo  Bbq Ck Hawaiian,Short Ribs,Beef, Macaroni Salad (1 Scoop)
    Claudia F.

    Ordered the 3 meat combo, got the beef, short rib and the bbq chicken. I would say over all the food is not super flavorful but it also doesn't have a lot of fat and oil. The bbq chicken was cooked good again the flavor is not wow but good. The beef was ok but the short rib was pretty good even if it wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped. I really enjoyed the macaroni salad it's super creamy and just enjoyed it overall. I enjoyed my plate but not sure if I'd order again, but if I do I would definitely order a sauce to add to the meat.

    Spam Musubi

    BBQ Mix 4/5 Spam Musubi 4/5 Overall enjoyed this restaurant! BBQ Mix has a good variety BBQ meat (Marinated Beef, rib and chicken). My favorite is probably the rib, which has a nice and strong grill flavor as you bite into it. The marinated beef, when freshly cooked, was also really good and as good as the bulgogi from korean restaurants. Though the chicken taste feel like something you can grab from panda express. The highlight of the meal, surprisingly, is the mac n cheese salad on the side, that offered a refreshing break from the heaviness of the meat. The spam musubi was also pretty good, especially if dipped in the bbq sauce. Though the price does feel a little steeper compared to the dish plates since two order of the musubi would equal to that of a full dish.

    Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Plate

    Hawaii is def on my list of places to visit, so when I discovered this rest. I had to try it out. The only Hawaiian food I've had is poke & I'm not a huge fan. I ordered the Hawaiian BBQ chicken (comes with rice & macaroni salad) and a side order of spring rolls. The spring rolls were good, standard nothing to rave about. The chicken (the star of the show) was really good. It was grilled white & dark meat and it was so well seasoned. I really don't know what to compare it to because it was a different flavor than anything I've experienced before. The macaroni salad was also good, it was light and paired well with the chicken. Only thing I I did not like was the fact that the BBQ sauce & sweet and sour sauce are sold separately. Although the chicken is served on a bed of cabbage, it still needs a sauce to go with it (not to mention to eat with the rice as well).

    I was on a walk by my apartments and saw this place. I never been so I was like why not. I ordered at the kiosk and got the chicken combo with double white rice and Mac. I only waited about 10 minutes so the service was really fast. When I tried my food , I fell in love. The chicken Katsu is really crispy and has a lot of flavor. The Hawaiian bbq is good as well. I will definitely be back

Great setting and establishment, I just wish the taste was there. This company knows how to draw you in with their appealing twinkies and brisket display. However, that's all. They could improve by adding more flavor. Maybe salt, pepper, hints of spices, garlic, onion powder, something. Eliminate the banana pudding and desserts. Update the sides by adding something different. With some change, they will run Terry Black some true competition.

    I stopped by Hurtado Barbecue on a Saturday morning 20 minutes before they opened and there were…read moreonly two parties ahead of us. By the time the store opened, the line had grown to being over twenty parties long, so plan accordingly if you don't want to be waiting for a while. Between the four in our party, we shared a three meat BBQ plate with bacon burnt ends, brisket, and their house made sausage. For our two sides, we chose their hatch chile mac n cheese and their Mexican street corn. Following the recommendations of many Yelpers, we also ordered two of the brisket tostadas and two of the birria tacos. When we received our plate of meat, I was a bit surprised at how little of each meat there was on the plate, but in hindsight, this ended up being the perfect amount of food, where everyone was able to get a sample of everything. Of the items we ordered, my favorite was definitely the burnt ends. These were melt in your mouth tender, and was insanely rich and decadent. Each of the three pieces in our order had a beautiful bark on the outside that resulted in a satisfying crunch with every bite. The casing to the sausage was snappy and the sausage itself was very juicy. The brisket was fall apart tender. The brisket was a bit light on seasoning, so I ended up using the Aztec Gold BBQ sauce they had sitting at the table with it. The sides that we chose were both delicious. The pasta in the mac n cheese was cooked perfectly and the noodles was generously sauced. The elote was sweet and smokey, and the Cotija cheese added creaminess to the side. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Hurtado Barbecue and wouldn't hesitate to recommend a visit if you're in Texas and are looking for great tasting BBQ.

Even though the playground is usually his favorite spot, he didn't hesitate & insisted we go to Kafi for the brisket. That pretty much sums up how my family feels about this place. We've tried plenty of BBQ spots around Texas, but Kafi keeps bringing us back. The brisket is consistently excellent, and you can tell they use the highest-quality ingredients because the flavor really speaks for itself. Everything on the menu is done well, from the Wagyu and sausage to the burnt ends. It's become one of those rare places that the whole family gets excited about, and that's not something I can say about many restaurants

The only downside is that it gets pretty crowded, especially during peak hours, so I recommend finding a seat as soon as you get there. Other than that, the food, service, and overall experience were fantastic. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Go! The Real Deal!…read moreNow that we have that out of the way,let's explore further. I will start by saying Hurtado was close to scoring a 5 Star review but fell short for one,Major reason. My memories of the farmers market area of Dallas Texas are some of my earliest. Going back decades to when it was an actual farmers market. You know,where farmers load trucks of fresh produce and travel 10s or hundreds of miles in order to sell the fruits of their labor and make a living. Well, starting about 40 years ago,that small farmer ethos started fading and the powers that be implemented a Farmers Market Redevelopment Plan. Bingo,that's where we are today. A popular multiuse,living, working, resturant, shopping district that's self sustaining on the edge of downtown. Enter Hurtado and another startegiclly placed outpost for their award winning Texas BBQ with a twist. Located in a new architecturally pleasing building,the only potential barrier between you and the brisket is parking. On my Tuesday lunch this wasn't a problem but at busier times,keep this in mind. When you enter,the place is bright and clean with staff waiting to make your visit count. The hostess even brought us menues as we looked up at the wall menu choices,nice touch. Before long we decided and slid up the counter to order. Ordering,paying,taking our number and beverage glasses, was easy peasy. In case your inclined,there is a full bar which may entice my return visit . Full array of soft drinks and ice tea is also handy. We took a comfortable booth and only wait ed a few minutes ( long enough for our delicious hand cut fries to cook) before our "El Jeffe" was delivered to our table. After the drooling stopped we dove in sharing, brisket,ribs,hatch Chili Mac n cheese,brisket beans,bread,pulled pork,burnt ends,hand cut fries and Texas Twinkies. The food here is excellent. Made with love as Texas Barbecue has to be. Service with a smile is the deal clincher. I will return for a follow up review and reveal what kept me from serving up the 5 th star! For now I recommend you... Go!
