    Birria taco
    Louanne M.

    This was my 3rd visit to Hurtado. Last year I went for my birthday and the staff was so kind. Then my husband and I came for date night a month later. Today it was my choice for Mother's Day. We were greeted right away and before I even started the order, they gave me some flowers. That was a really nice touch of service. We got the brisket and pork belly burnt ends because we had loved them before. Today we also tried the garlic black pepper sausage and I got a birria taco. I loved the taco and will definitely be back for this. The pork belly burnt ends are the best I have ever had, and that is why we keep coming back.

    The brisket was the best part, and the ribs were right behind. The sausage was too soft for my liking. The hatch Mac n cheese didn't have much flavor. The big red taco was terrible. It was supposed to be barbacoa but it didn't even remotely resemble it. Overall, wouldn't recommend this place, but they do have good brisket and ribs.

    Wow. Talk about amazing customer service. Demi greeted us right as we walked through the door. She was a welcomed experience. Fun with an amazing personality. She turned a bad day into a great one in just a matter of seconds. Thanks Demi. The first thing I noticed is they have new menus. Detailed and easy to read. We opted to try "the Jefe". It's a combination of ribs, pulled pork, burnt ends, brisket, turkey and sausage. Our sides consisted of Green beans, potato salad, tater tot casserole, cabbage and Hatch green chili Mac n cheese. Also ordered a Texas Twinkie! Hurtados knows BBQ. Ribs are tender and tasty and MOIST! The perfect combination. Their burnt ends are other worldly. My absolute favorite. A slight sweet but tangy outer layer that makes your eyes roll back in your head. The Pulled pork equally as good. The turkey...drum roll is the best in Fort Worth. The brisket has the perfect outer crust while maintaining a moistness. Finally the Texas Twinkie....a stuffed jalapenos with pimento cheese and wrapped in bacon cooked in a BBQ sauce outer coating. Scrumptious! Damn, it's sooooo good. Here's where Hurtado rises above other BBQ's restaurants...(besides having great customer service) is their sides. The potato salad is Devine. Deliciously Devine. It has a little kick and is a mashed potato salad that is soooo dang flavorful. We literally almost fell out of our chairs when we tried the tater tot casserole. Unique in all the right ways. A MUST TRY! Green beans, cabbage, beans all BBQ staples and delicious in their own right. Their BBQ sauces, peach habanero, sweet n spicy and Aztec gold compliments the meats perfectly. I'm not a sauce kinda guy but was pleasantly surprised with theirs. The restaurant is small and they recently added more seating. It was packed with a nice flow of customers. Happy customers.

    This place was so good. The standout order was the tres leches banana pudding. Just make sure you get like five of them. That was my biggest regret but otherwise everything was really good. The meat was tender and moist, the beans were decent , the jalapeno wrapped in bacon Texas twinkie with smoked brisket in it- was really good. You can't go wrong here. Every order will be great. We will be back

    My favorite items were the Texas Twinkie and the green beans

    Great bbq no wait friendly people- go with confidence the part of the dining room with AC isn't huge so go early if you like it cool!

    I was heading to Mansfield with some friends for cheesecake, but they were closed on Sunday. But right next door is Hurtado. I checked their ratings on YELP, and in we went. You order just inside the front door, where you're given a plastic number to set on your table for service. This place was busy...like, really busy. I was told it'd be a 15 minute wait. But 15 minutes turned into 30, and then 45. I was a little annoyed because nobody checked on us during this wait. Nobody. When the food arrived, the brisket was extremely fatty. If I had to estimate. I'd say it was a good 35% fat. The food was actually delicious, which is why this rating is getting a high mark. The potatoes salad is amazing. For real. The restaurant is rustic with bar-appeal.

    Trinity
    Elizabeth N.

    A few things that we ordered. The trinity with ribs, brisket, sausage and a side of potato salad. Ribs were amazing, sausage and brisket were ok. We weren't a fan of the potato salad. It was a bit bland, next time we will try the beans or corn. The Birria taco was amazing with the consume! This was by far the best consume we have tried. So much flavor with added spice!!!! Wow!!!! The brisket tostada was really good as well! It was layered with refried beans. We also had a tres leche banana pudding. Very surprised it was not overly sweet. It was well balanced and the only thing I would recommend is that they needed to add more cookies to it. :-) Service was great! Made recommendations and answered all of our questions! It looks like it's a small area to dine in, but while we were leaving we noticed there was another door with more seating available.

    We stopped in on Easter, so extra points for being open. In the true fashion of trying as much as we could we opted for the El Jefe added fries and a Birria taco. Everything was delish and it was enough for everyone to sample the goods and we left feeling pretty full. The staff was super friendly and the wait was pretty short even with it being busy. We will definitely be back.

    This wonderful spot is a fusion between Mexican food and barbecue. Each of the barbecue selections were incredible! Ditto with the Mexican food. Don't let the size of the place for you, they are quick and efficient and the food is fresh and ready to go! The staff is friendly and helpful. This place feels like you just walked into your favorite food spot in your old hometown. Nothing fancy; no fru-fru - just a downhome eatery. I will be back!!!!!

    The food was excellent and so was the service. Placed the order for pickup and it was ready when I got there. I ordered pulled pork, pork ribs, brisket and burnt ends with slaw, baked beans and Mac n cheese as sides. I'm not typically big on slaw but it was some of the best I've ever had. I anticipated parking would be much worse than it was, I'll have to go back.

    Brisket, ribs, hatch mac&chz, red slaw, birria taco
    Clayton M.

    Very nice BBQ with great flavors. All was good, but the birria taco and the hatch chili Mac & cheese really stood out. Very chill atmosphere too.

    We found this place on a Tuesday evening. Hurtado was amazing!! The food was amazing and Nat and her team provided amazing service!! We definitely will return and highly recommend this location!!

    Birria Tacos
    Adela M.

    Everything was great! I had been wanting to come try their Texas Twinkie and it did not disappoint. Perfectly crispy bacon wrapped with a good balance of cream cheese to meat inside. My friend said their birria tacos were pretty good too and no complaints about the bbq. Staff was super nice checking in making sure we were enjoying everything and there is plenty of seating inside and out. Will definitely be back!

The crunchy onions that retain structure was absolutely divine. I could eat this everyday. Brisket - we didn't get a fatty piece which I liked because it allowed me to not get full easily Sichuan Lamb Ribs - softest lamb I have ever had (that wasn't in a curry) and the rub on it was not only the perfect amount but a perfect blend Tandoori Turkey - this was really moist and not spicy, great choice for those who do not like red meat Seekh Kabob Sausage - the casing was well done and the flavor profile wasn't overpowering, sometimes desi spices can overtake the meat and that was not the case here (no pun intended) Kochumber salad - well seasoned and I am so glad it is on the menu because you need a fresh element to palate cleanse and cut through bbq fat They open at 11am and the line started forming 10:30am, it moves at a good pace. We were also instructed with what's on the menu and the parking situation which I thought was professional and well organized. We found some seating in the area next to the truck.

    "Sabar BBQ: Where the lamb ribs made me want to high five a stranger."…read more TL;DR: Get there early, order the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, let Zain carve you a plate of happiness, and prepare to have your taste buds do a Texas two-step with Pakistani spices. Worth every minute of the wait. This one's climbing my top 50 list faster than a brisket disappears at a family reunion. After one failed mission to Sabar BBQ, where I showed up too late and found an empty pit (and an emptier stomach), I came back like a man on a barbecue pilgrimage. The sun was blazing, the line was growing, and I wasn't about to be left holding nothing but a napkin this time. Pitmaster Zain Shafi runs this blue trailer like a flavor command center. The smell hit me halfway through the line and had me grinning like a kid at the state fair. I made my move when it was my turn, and if you know me, you know lamb is my kryptonite. I ordered the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, then couldn't stop myself from adding brisket and Tandoori Turkey. The sides? Kachumber Salad and Daal Chawaal, because even Uncle Sean needs balance in life. Zain loaded everything up, tossed it all on top of some naan for good measure, and sent me to my table like a champion headed to the winner's circle. The first bite of lamb ribs nearly had me proposing to the pit. Spicy, tender, smoky perfection with a bark that made my heart sing. The brisket was rich and juicy, the turkey came with that tandoori kick that slapped me awake in the best way possible. The sauces just tied the whole thing together like a big barbecue hug. The yogurt mint cilantro sauce was made to cool and lift the brisket and turkey to a whole new level. The red sauce packed a punch and paired with the lamb like it was born for the job. I boxed up some leftovers for my wife, the Side Dish Queen herself, because a man who doesn't bring home naan from Sabar BBQ is a man sleeping on the couch. She confirmed what I already knew: this was next-level barbecue, the kind that earns legends and long lines. Sabar BBQ is only open on weekends, and only fools show up late. I won't make that mistake again. This was stop number 15 on my Texas Monthly Top 50 journey, leaving me with 35 more glorious BBQ pilgrimages ahead before the passport is full and my belt officially waves the white flag. If loving these lamb ribs is wrong, I don't wanna be rib-right.

With a bit more seasoning and flavor, the sides could be the hit of the location, and this I think will come with time and practice. Tried the greens (little bland, but wonderful texture), Mac and Cheese (actually seasoning was spot on), and beans (with meat...meh). The greens and MC were the hits for sure. Brisket was on the dry side, maybe overcooked, and could have used some better trimming before cooking I think. Did not try sausages or chicken, but both looked appetizing. They are still dialing in their pits is my guess, and expect cook quality to improve with a time. Quality of meat may also be worth considering. Overal, Brown's is definitely worth a visit, and as they find their groove they could be a contender. Right now would put them at a fair 3.5 stars, but the energy, great attitude (smiles means repeat business), and great beginnings is worthy of 4 stars even now, and a welcome addition to the neighborhood!
