Hurtado Barbecue in Arlington serves Texas barbecue classics like brisket and sausage with a Tex-Mex twist, plus must-try 'Texas Twinkies' in a chill setting.
"Make it a barbecue night at this family-run spot that grew from pop-ups to a food truck and then expanded to a few locations around the Metroplex, including its original location in Arlington. Hurtado’s specialty is Tex-Mex barbecue, so don’t skip on ordering at least a few birria tacos. Among the meats, brisket is the thing to try, but the ribs and sausage are awfully good, too. If feeding a crowd, there is the option to order whole briskets, turkey breasts, pork butt, and racks of spare ribs. Food is served cafeteria-style in deep silver serving trays over warmers to keep the line moving fast. Inside is populated by those extremely uncomfortable industrial chairs made of metal, so opt for the picnic tables on the patio." - Courtney E. Smith
