MANSFIELD

Loved it. This was my 3rd visit to this location. We brought out of town friends here for dinner and Hurtado’s did not disappoint. The ordering line was longish. My wife grabbed a booth while the rest of us stood in line. For our friends, the time in line allowed them plenty of time to study the menu. The four of us ordered: - 1# of Pork Ribs, 1 link Jalapeno Sausage, Tater Tot Casserole and Green Beans - Birria Taco and Cole Slaw - Burger and Hatch Chile Mac and Cheese The ribs were excellent. They’re spare ribs, so they’re fatter than baby backs, but they were seasoned and smoked nicely and were very tasty. The sausage was excellent as well. Just enough heat. The green beans had onions and bacon and were great. The Tater Tot casserole was decent as well. My friend had the Birria taco. She does not care for food that has any spice with heat and surprisingly, she felt it was a bit hot for her - yet she enjoyed her taco. Her husband had the burger and Hatch Chile Mac and cheese and enjoyed both. In addition to the food and just as importantly is the staff at this location. Every single one of them I encountered this visit was very pleasant, seemed very appreciative of us being there and were so helpful. Great attitudes all around. I’m so happy to have a Hurtado’s so close to where our new home will be.

This place is great. I met a coworker for a business lunch. Our order was taken quickly. Employees were very friendly and professional. The BBQ was out in a reasonable period of time. We split this (picture below): EL JEFE - 1/3 lb each of brisket, pulled pork, spare ribs, turkey, burnt ends and sausage Mac and cheese and Mexican rice for sides). It was hot, very tasty, and the perfect amount of food. Thanks for a great visit!

First off, the service here is TOP NOTCH the staff is friendly and extremely helpful. This place has a lot of social media hype but, not all of the food lives up to the hype. The street corn needed salt to balance the acidity from the lime and could have done with about half of the water. The Brisket was a bit dry and arguably had too much fat cap. This could have been due in part to the time of day we came (2:30p). The Mexican cornbread was interesting. The pork ribs were great, I was worried at the amount of bark for my liking but, it worked! The absolute best thing I had here were the fries. My wife loved the baked potato and the kids liked the brisket sandwiches. My son who had the burger described it as “mid” (who gets a burger at a BBQ joint anyway lol). This is certainly a place we would try again, maybe on a Sunday to get some of their barbacoa (beef cheeks).
