Really enjoyed the BBQ here. It’s definitely top-notch 👌🏽 The chicken was really nice, but the skin, though delicious, was a bit too sweet for my taste. The spare ribs were a bit drier than I’m used to, but also still really good. The brisket was ideal 👌🏽 The cornbread was really nice also. Maybe a tad sweet for my taste but, it was soft, crumbly, fresh, and delicious 😄

If you’re craving true Texas barbecue, Hurtado Barbecue is the place to go. The chopped brisket is smoky, tender, and packed with flavor, while the sliced brisket melts in your mouth with just the right balance of bark and juiciness. The chicken is just as impressive—perfectly seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. The sides are every bit as good as the mains. The mac n cheese is rich, creamy, and comforting, pairing perfectly with the barbecue. And do not leave without trying the banana pudding—it’s the perfect sweet finish, creamy and nostalgic, with just the right touch of indulgence. From start to finish, Hurtado delivers on flavor, quality, and consistency. If you’re in the area, it’s a must-try spot that will leave you planning your next visit before you even leave. Add it to your list now, thank me later

We've heard a lot about this place and we finally got to visit on a Sunday night. It was a school night, so it wasn't too packed because you can sit outside or at Hayter's bar next door. We ordered El Patron w/ Street Corn, Potato Salad, and Creamy Red Slaw, 1/2 lb of Prime Brisket, and Half Chicken. Really great BBQ and sides! We had 8 people (4 adults and 4 kids) and still took a bunch of meat home. This is Tex-Mex style BBQ which did not disappoint. The meat was tender and tasty even without the sauce. The sides were interesting because they were different than other BBQ places, but tasted good. They even had tacos for sides. The staff were all really nice. Very helpful and accommodating. The only downside is that they're tucked away at the back of a street. It would be easy to miss without GPS.

It was my first time in Texas, and I was very excited to finally try some real Texas BBQ. A local recommended this spot and it did not disappoint. The brisket was tender and juicy, the sausage was packed with flavor, and the sides were so incredibly flavorful. I ate so much food! My girlfriend went for a burger and loved it just as much. Huge shoutout to Stacy and Summer for being super friendly and welcoming. Honestly, I just wish I didn’t live in Canada so I could come back more often!

This restaurant offers a great take on Tex-Mex cuisine. As expected in Texas, there’s no shortage of excellent barbecue spots, and this place is no exception—their barbecue is outstanding. What sets this restaurant apart is how well it captures the essence of Mexican-inspired flavors. The side dishes, in particular, are creative, unique, and full of flavor, making them a highlight of the meal. The space itself isn’t very large, so be prepared for a possible wait during busy hours. Also, while the sides are worth trying, ordering several can quickly add up in price. Overall, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a fresh and flavorful Tex-Mex experience with a strong barbecue foundation.
