"Hurtado started with pop-ups and now has multiple restaurants across North Texas, including a flagship in Arlington and a new spot at the Dallas Farmers Market, all serving classic barbecue with a Tex-Mex twist. Think brisket tostadas topped with fresh cilantro, crunchy white onions, and bright salsa, green beans livened up with smoky chorizo, and rich and creamy tres leches banana pudding. Texas Twinkies make the menu at Hurtado, too, but here the jalapeños are stuffed with brisket and a one-two punch of cream cheese and pimento cheese. Per Texas barbecue law, they’re still technically a vegetable." - kevin gray, nick rallo, rosin saez
