ARLINGTON

Coming from Memphis, Tennessee, I’ve always heard all my life that the best BBQ is back home. Ironically, even when I lived there, I rarely ate BBQ. I didn’t truly become a BBQ lover until I moved here and tried this place with my husband—and let me tell you… absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in, you can tell why it’s always a full house. The food is consistently top-tier, full of flavor, and worth every bit of the hype. If you’re hoping to eat inside, I highly recommend coming right when the doors open because it fills up fast for a reason. On top of the incredible food, the service takes the experience to another level. Emily was phenomenal—friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. She knows the menu well and adds that extra touch that turns a great meal into a memorable one. If you’re coming, do yourself a favor: come early, come hungry, for sure get a Texas Twinkie , and ask for Emily. You won’t regret it. 🔥🍖 These photos don’t do justice

Decided to experience the original locale today and it didn’t disappoint. Food was spot on. Service was great. If it wasn’t a cold day then the patio would have been great. Sliced beef was on point. Sausage was maybe the best I’ve ever had. Omg folks, the tres leches banana pudding? Worth the drive in its own right. Amazing. The folks in front of us got the last piece of the hatch corn bread so we will have to return for that some other time. Will definitely be back.

There was a line out the door, but we were only in it about 10 minutes. The service is OUTSTANDING. Staff is busy but they take their time with customers. They've got a dog friendly patio. Neighborhood cat stops by and says hello. Everything we got was tasty. cHubby thought the brisket was a little dry, but still good. I thought it was seasoned well. Their sauces have a little twist. We got a mix...Mac n cheese, tostadas, brisket, tacos, beans... the cornbread was really nice. Tres Leches Banana Pudding was one of my favorites. Definitely worth the stop!

Local people highly recommend here, and it’s as amazing as their description. The brisket is so juicy and flavorful, it can almost melt in your mouth. The pork belly brunt ends is amazing. I love this place and I’ll definitely come back once I visit taxes.

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Hurtados. I love the creative items on the menu in addition to standard BBQ fare. Highly recommend the Birria Tacos and Mexican Cornbread. Service is extremely friendly. Great options on indoor or outdoor seating.
