FORT WORTH

First time trying this place out, and I will definitely be coming back. The brisket was very good, not dry at all. The mac and cheese was my favorite, it has a nice smoky flavor. Parking is kinda small, but I had no issues since there were not many people in. I was just bothered a bit by a small fly that I had to keep away from my food. Overall, the store was clean, but it can improve.

Walked in to order and noticed people in the cooking area were busy! Ordered a quarter pound of sliced brisket moist with beans and potato salad and ice tea. Took a number and found a place to relax. The inside is somewhat typical of a BBQ restaurant, simple, clean, well lit. They did have big TVs for watching sports. My order arrived in short time. The brisket came with 2 slices of bread, pickles & onions, and BBQ sauce. I took a bite and the brisket was cooked perfectly, wonderful flavor, and did not need BBQ sauce. I did try the sauce and fixings in a half sandwich and it was darn good. The beans were spicy and you could definitely taste jalapeños and cilantro. The potato salad was a good contrast in both taste and in texture. It had potato of course but also had a smooth texture and good flavor. The service was excellent as two different employees came to check in on me, both were friendly, polite, and helpful. I very much enjoyed dining here. On my way out I also noticed they have special on the weekends like Dino ribs and Barbacoa.

If you're searching for a great BBQ spot near Cook's Hospital, this place in Fort Worth is a must-visit. I had a loaded baked potato with brisket, and it was absolutely delicious! Definitely check them out next time you're in the area.

Walked 4 miles round trip while visiting Fort Worth simply on word of mouth, and Hurtado did NOT disappoint. The food? 112/10. The staff? 113/10. The playlist? Immeasurably good. I have never walked 4 miles for food, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. In fact, I WILL do it again next time I’m in town. Huge shout out to Nick and the rest of the team working. I’ll see y’all next time!! You earned a customer for life!!
