ARLINGTON

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.

The food is amazing. The brisket was tender and not too fatty. The burnt ends were very good. Smoky and not saucy. The rub on both was very good. Texas Twinkie was amazing. I wish I ordered 5 more. The Mexican cornbread is incredible. A must order! Thank me later. The Mac and cheese was pretty good. The elote was a miss for me. Too much hot sauce. It takes over the corn. This place is super good and I would definitely come back again.

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.

Every time I come here, or the Dallas location, I am impressed! The food is excellent. The brisket falls apart so easily. I want to drown myself in the hatch chile mac and cheese. The burnt ends are some of the best I've ever had. The customer service is phenomenal. Valerie was amazing today! Above and beyond helping me through some confusion with my order(my own fault), and then walking me out to my car with my large items. I cannot recommend them enough!
