    Bad tortilla. I had to warm up some of my own to finish the taco.

    Wow haven't been here in a while but remember they had pretty good tortillas!!! They don't make their own anymore. What they have now is just horrible rubbery terrible tortillas. I mean Chic fe la has better tortillas. Sorry bad decision not sticking with making homemade tortillas.

    Picture doesn't do it justice, but the tacos are BIG. This is a bacon & egg taco with some of the red salsa on top.

    Came here yesterday and had a few breakfast tacos and a coffee, so I can't speak for their plates and other breakfast options. For the breakfast tacos, this is a high-value establishment. Breakfast taco prices range from $2.45-$2.95. I had a bacon & egg taco and a chorizo & egg. Both were LARGE. Almost a burrito size. I appreciate this. Coffee was a bit weak, but not bad. My only request is that the breakfast tacos come with a creamy jalapeño green sauce by default. I am not sure if they offer this. The tacos come with a red salsa that is great. But some other options would be nice.

    During winter months Amigos occasionally does a chicken n dumplings special. My wifey wanted to try them so we came here for lunch. She rated the chicken n dumplings as some of the best that she has ever had. Tasty homemade thin dumplings w/a thin succulent broth loaded with juicy fresh shredded chicken & also carrots. Also had a large thick slice of cornbread on the side. She'd give them more stars if Yelp allowed a 10 star review! I had and loved the tender carne guisada plate. Came w/tortillas, rice and beans. These guys may not serve chicken n dumplings year round, but we'd still come back for the que. Good food!

    Barbacoa fat that should have been cleaned during preparation.

    I honestly feel catfished. I've seen so many reviews raving about this place on Yelp and other sites. Since this is during COVID-19 pandemic, I noticed one cook had his mask below his chin the entire time I waited for my order. They don't seem to prioritize social distancing either, as the tables were all available in the small dining room and they had BBQ sauce and ketchup bottles out for communal use. I've seen people recommend their tacos, which surprises me as the tortillas I received were clearly store bought - both flour and corn. I got both and neither were good. Now for the BBQ, the most disappointing part. See the included pictures for specifics, but in general: - brisket was underseasoned and poorly trimmed. I asked for one pound of brisket and received at least 1/3 pound of fat (see photo). I also assume it was undercooked based on the toughness and lack of smoke ring (I worked in a BBQ restaurant during college). - barbacoa should have been cleaned better. A huge chunk of fat that should have been removed was included (see photo). I understand what barbacoa is, I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley. This was lower quality than a sketchy stand at the flea market. They at least have good salsas there. Probably the most passable thing we got. - pulled pork was mediocre at best and pretty dry. Also had a huge piece of fat (see photo) - chicken was mediocre as well. I was hoping for RGV-BBQ chicken, but got generic "dad overcooked the chicken, but don't say anything he's already mad" chicken. - sausage was fine, probably because they didn't make it. It was dry though, which indicates it had been sitting in a proofer (steam oven) or on the line for a while. - bbq sauce tasted like Sweet Baby Rays, which isn't bad, just not redeeming enough for the poor quality of the meats. Picking up cooked brisket from Walmart and a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays would have been a better choice than eating here. I will never go back here based on their treatment during COVID-19 and the poor quality of the food. I hope you don't try it either, because it certainly isn't worth your money.

    Great breakfast taco shop, although the name is BBQ grill. I love the bean and cheese when I am not feeling meat early in the morning. My next go to taco us the spicy potatoe, bacon and cheese. Just amazing. Their home made sauce is wonderful. If they every start selling it, I will be first in line. I don't like putting picante type tasting sauce on my taco. I am very picky and this sauce hits me just right.

    I have only eaten here once, but it is good. A lot of ex-military and also a lot of people that were going to compete or taking food to their teams at the Pflugerville chili fest were here. This is a true joint. They have a kind of spicy potato that they have with their food. I had a potato and bacon taco and a chopped brisket taco. Sat outside and had a good time chatting with folks. There are very few tables inside and they were all full. Not bad, not bad at all. Will be going back to check out more food.

    We love Amigo's BBQ. Especially the chips and salsa. My dad will bring me home a cup of their salsa whenever he goes. One of my Favorite dishes is the Fajita Botana. For breakfast I love their bacon and egg tacos. I definitely recommend this place.

    My husband got me two chicken tacos to go and I couldn't even eat them because they had so much gristle in them. I fed it to my dog.

    Pok-e-Jo's BBQ began with a simple Texas challenge...after a disappointing barbecue dinner in the…read more1970s, a group of friends decided they could do it better. What started as a joke about the name "Porky-Jo's" eventually became Pok-e-Jo's, and in 1979 the first restaurant opened on North Burnet Road with a mission to serve authentic, satisfying Texas barbecue. The atmosphere is casual, welcoming, and unpretentious, with the kind of comfort that comes from a place focused more on barbecue. The menu covers all the Texas staples...brisket, ribs, sausage, and pulled pork...served in generous portions alongside traditional sides like potato salad, mac and cheese, fried okra, and baked potato casserole. Since our trip is close, we decided not to cook to avoid leftovers. We ordered ribs and chicken that were flavorful and tender. Our sides included potato salad (a bit bland), broccoli salad (delicious), fruit (fresh), blonde brownies with nuts and chocolate chips (excellent). The meal also came with Texas toast. The Pok-e-Jo's staff was friendly and helpful. It has been a minute since we have eaten at Pok-e-Jo's BBQ. Good experience...we will keep them in mind in the future.

    If I HAVE to add sauce, it's not good !…read more The service was fine and everyone was polite. But the food is a no. I got a two meat plate. I did double brisket, broccoli salad, and Mac& cheese. I also got a peach cobbler on the side. The toast had more flavor than the brisket. My brisket was juicy and flavorless! I had to add sauce to every single piece I ate. The sauce wasn't THAT good. The broccoli salad situation was okay. The Mac& cheese was just cheese and pasta! The brisket was so flavorless until I was in disbelief. I looked around to see if people really enjoying it because how is that possible.! Yea I won't go again. The brisket at HEB is even better than this !.

    I don't get it. It should have been good. Was in Manor this…read moreweekend, visiting my mother-in-law and she asked for BBQ. Wife seemed to recall a hole-in-the-wall red building that sold it. When I saw it, I was SO excited. It was old, rickety, paint pealing and should've been condemned. I loved it! Exactly what I'd expect for good barbecue. Ordered two sliced brisket plates and a chopped brisket sandwich plate. Got the food to-go and headed to the house. I was SO disappointed with just about everything. MIL thought the sandwich was good, but she didn't get her coleslaw side. Wife's meat was good, but her coleslaw (and mine) wasn't goof. Very vinegary and not creamy at all like I'm used to for coleslaw. My brisket, however was horrible. It was more fat than meat and I couldn't eat it it was so fatty. In addition to the coleslaw, the green beans I got was in desperate need of salt. Really disappointed overall. Maybe it was an off day or something, but just wasn't worth it imo.

    I work for the local newspaper, The Manor Journal. We had to put together an ad for them. Since we…read morehave no advertising that we could repurpose, I took it as an opportunity to go over there and take a look around to get inspired. I know this little shack. We drive by it every day. It doesn't look like much, but it is certainly a destination. It is the smells of smoked barbecue that gently waft over Manor. It is a reminder that we live in Texas where smoked meat is a thing. I took pictures of signs and their outdoor seating arrangements as well as their drive-through. Then, I went inside and took a look around. I was met by a small crowd and very busy cooks behind the counter. I took some pictures and finally got to meet the staff. They are very polite, and greeted me with a smile and asked me what I wanted to order. I couldn't make up my mind, but I did ask a lot of questions to get an idea how to position their advertising. So much to choose from. It sounds to me that this is the type of place where you order- pick up and go on a picnic or bring to your home to feed the masses. That was my take away; A picnic table, bench, and a broad selection of meats. You can't beat the prices here either. For the same price of going to McDonald's, you can order A better tasting meal. I prefer supporting our local businesses so that they can remain here and serve the loyal customer base. To be honest, I didn't order anything. But I did see the range of food that they do serve and they do very well for the selections. The food here sounds to be very consistent. I plan on coming back and having a sit down with Gary who is the owner there. He's a pretty neat guy from what I hear.
