WE ARE HURTADO BARBECUE

By far, some of the most incredible people I've ever had serving me. And also, some of the best bbq in texas. Easily top 3 for me. I've never had a more tender and juicy piece of Turkey in my life. Thanks to Kris for a great experience! Emily has a great jacket!

Atmosphere: Plenty of street parking. The line is long, so plan to get there early. When you walk in the front room, tends to be rather warm, but it’s cooler closer to the registers. Plenty of tables inside, and there’s a large outdoor seating area. Very open floor plan. Service: All the staff was friendly Brisket sandwich: The bun was perfect, and wasn’t overly soft. where it falls apart like typical store-bought buns. I got the brisket chopped up and flavor was great. Mac & cheese: I will say this was probably one of my favorite mac and cheese I’ve had. The cheese sauce was on the lighter, more runny side, which I prefer. that way when you’re eating the mac, it’s not completely overwhelmed and heavy like regular cheese sauce. It had a bit of a garlic hint. Overall five stars. This was my first barbecue experience in Texas, and very satisfied.

Amazing! We were there on a Friday so we got to experience the Friday special of a 1 pound or bigger beef rib. My wife practically devoured it for herself. I was lucky enough to get a couple bites but personally, I had the smoked 1/2 chicken, and it was both delicious and very affordable. We were told about this from a friend of ours who owns a restaurant back in Missouri, so we took his word for a lot, and he was totally correct. It was obvious a lot of other people love the place, because the lunch line was consistently out of the door.

Hurtado Barbecue in Arlington was outstanding! David and Emily provided exceptional, friendly service and made the whole visit feel welcoming. The food was just as impressive—every bite was tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The beef rib, brisket, turkey, and sausage were all delicious, with great smoky flavor. My daughter absolutely loved her burger, too. Highly recommend Hurtado for amazing barbecue and genuinely great customer service!

Absolutely incredible BBQ. Every single thing on the tray was packed with flavor — the brisket was juicy with a perfect bark, the ribs were tender without falling apart, and the sausage had that perfect snap. The pulled pork melted in your mouth, and even the turkey was insanely moist. The sides were just as impressive. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, the green beans had amazing flavor, and the cabbage was a perfect balance to all the smoked meats. Dessert sealed the deal too. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the smoking process and the overall experience. Huge portions, great atmosphere, and some of the best BBQ I’ve had in Texas. Definitely worth the wait and already planning my next visit.
