Brisket, barbacoa tacos, and smash burgers with mac & cheese
"I make a point of heading south on Sundays to Moreno Barbecue for an unapologetically hearty breakfast: pitmaster Bo Moreno smokes Akaushi barbacoa only once a week, wrapping it in housemade beef tallow–flour tortillas with onions, cilantro, and salsa, and the El Chingón (refried beans, beef tallow pan-fried potatoes, fluffy eggs, and hand-shredded Colby Jack) proves one taco can fuel your day — as Moreno puts it, “I don’t make wimpy tacos. We’re in Texas.”" - Annie Brown Verdin
"After a few years of gaining popularity for their “Tex-Mex” barbecue, Moreno is moving from a small building on Menchaca to a bigger dining room with a full bar at Southpark Meadows. The old space is staying open, but that one is going to focus on burgers and barbecue sandwiches." - Nicolai McCrary
"For under-the-radar barbecue with a minimal line, head to the Garrison Park restaurant, which fires up a variety of meats like brisket, pork belly, smoked half chickens, and Sunday barbacoa. Pick your meats to pile into sandwiches or tacos, or try the super-rich brisket grilled cheese for a decadent barbecue meal. Sides include the usual suspects — gouda mac and cheese, creamed corn, and coleslaw. There’s an air-conditioned indoor area or a large shaded patio for dining, or order to-go online." - Erin Russell
"The brisket at Moreno BBQ in South Austin holds its own with the best in town—seasoned minimally with just salt and pepper—and the jalapeño cheddar sausage is some of the snappiest we’ve had. But the real reason you should be here is for the extensive menu of combinations, from barbacoa and pork belly tacos to brisket gouda mac and cheese and pulled pork nachos. Show up with a group and leave with all the picky eaters happy. They also make a great smoked cheeseburger." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
