Backwoods Brothers is not far from 81 corridor in PA and worth the couple minute detour. Simple, nothing fancy on a residential corner. Place could use a scrub, but I came for the BBQ. Upon shaking the dust off my boots I was met by Beverly, who was sweet as pie and very helpful. A warm welcome really goes a long way to making ANY diners experience better. And flavorful food that exceeds your expectations all the better! I got the brisket sandwich and substituted beans (for the chips) and added collard greens. The sandwich was generous portion and the meat was lean and not too fatty and the bun had a little toasty crisp (nice touch!). Three homemade sauces to choose from: Original (zingy), Pepper (tangy) and Honey mix (too sweet for my taste). The collards were the star of the meal. Al dente to the bite (not limp overdone) and not swimming in liquid. The beans were very good. All in all a great detour for any hungry traveler or local! Thanks Bev for making me feel at home. UPDATE: after using the bathroom before leaving, I agree with another reviewer here: this place needs some serious cleaning attention. The owner should shut it down for a day and address the excess grime. Still doesn't change my opinion that it's a nice place to patronize.

Time to pull a quick 180. My last review praised this little Latin American/Caribbean joint because…read moreit was bold enough to say our town was over inundated by taco jawns. Also colloquially known as taquerías. And now I find myself just LOVING the P. Rosel for its tacos. Yes, we have a million kajillion taco shops in like a three mile radius. But they are all so freakin' good! I don't think having a million places that can dish out a top notch taco is necessarily a bad thing. I guess it gets kinda boring and redundant after awhile, but when you're craving a taco, it ends up being a blessing. Now, I know these tacos are authentic, because they are served with stuff that I would never expect to be served with a taco. Like, a side of cucumber slices? And sliced radishes? Also, we have legit Mexican cheese here. Queso fresco. No pepper Jack here. I think that's what most Americans put on their homemade tacos. Some sort of cheddar. Pepper Jack if they're feisty. That's about as exotic as they go when it comes to cheese. Ok, ok, they sometimes use feta. "Oh hey, I made a Greek salad! It's a mix of Romaine lettuce and fried chicken, croutons, and FETA CHEESE! TOTALLY GREEK!" In addition to a little taco sampler, I had snag some fajitas. Chicken was on the dry side, but I liked that they gave me a nice side of lettuce and pico de gallo. No sour cream, unfortunately. I'm serious about this - if you can find a Mexican place that serves a complimentary side of sour cream with fajitas or basically any entree, CHERISH THEM. Sour cream, as we we all know, as gone the way of guacamole. It's now a "premium" side that will cost you sometimes $1 or more. I'm pretty sure 10 years ago, restaurants were GIVING out sour cream because that shit sits in those commercial fridges so long, they NEED to give it away before it goes bad. But now we have to spend that stimulus money on those upsells that were once not a privilege, but a right. The last dish I got was the Molcajete Ranchero. I thought I knew what "Ranchero" meant until this stage in my life. It apparently doesn't have anything to do with ranch dressing. This is one of their specialty dishes. Or maybe they just have amazing SEO. But when I Googled "Molcajete Ranchero," Paraiso Rosel was the first hit. Sadly, I think they screwed up my order. On their website, the description says it's grilled nopal with a bunch of other stuff. What is nopal, you ask? Well, it's cactus leaves, duh. I feel like the cactus leaves would have added a whole other dimension. HAHAH, who am I kidding. I'm just complaining about the lack of something that I probably wouldn't have liked anyway. I'm complaining that something wasn't there, but if it was there, I'd complain about it because I would have thought the texture was "icky' or something. Now I know why restaurant owners pull their hair out when they read these reviews. Alright, so my final take. Would I order from here again? I mean, probably? As mentioned before, we just have so many really great Mexican restaurants. And for real for real, I want to try them all. So it takes a helluva lot for me to re-order from a place when in the back of my mind I want to try a new place. Like, my time on this earth is limited, you know? I have high blood pressure. I drink too much. There's people still walking around without masks. I could croak any minute. Now listen, if I lived within walking distance of this place, I'd go three times per week, easy. But a man's gotta live. I may never be back, but this was a meal I'll never forget (even if I never got to experience grilled cactus leaves).

I did a quick DoorDash search and came across this place. I've been wanting to try birria tacos after the recent surge in popularity (thanks, TikTok), so this seemed like a great opportunity to do so. I ordered the birria tacos with a side of rice. The delivery came super quickly and the food was still piping hot when it arrived. And my life was quickly changed. These tacos are INSANE. A super crispy corn tortilla filled with the most flavorful beef I have ever had. It's a complex flavor profile - sort of spicy, sort of sour, savory, salty, bright, DELICIOUS. And when you dip it in the consommé, which is provided complimentary on the side? Nirvana. I was absolutely stuffed, but I couldn't stop eating until I had totally cleaned my plate. The rice was also fluffy and tasty. I have tried to make my own birria tacos since this, but just can't replicate it. I'll definitely be eating here again as soon as I'm back in town.
