Hurtado Barbecue Fort Worth

Hurtado BBQ was a great spot to eat after visiting family at the nearby hospital. Much needed comfort food. The green pork tamales were disarmingly delicious! The pork belly was great and the brisket was as well. The turkey was another star player. Big red taco wasn't what I thought it would be but is definitely worth a try. Its brisket that's been braised in big red. The soda. Yes, that big red. All in, it was a great and enjoyable meal and we'll definitely be trying the mansfield location next. DEFINITELY WORTH IT spent $120 bucks for 4 to eat. Not bad for Real TEXAS BBQ

Absolutely amazing! Best barbecue I’ve had in ages, with great service. I had the Texas Trinity with a side of Bacon Braised Cabbage. The brisket was perfectly smoked, moist and tender. The ribs were expertly seasoned and falling off the bone. The sausage was delicious. But strangely enough, the Bacon Braised Cabbage stole the show. I wasn’t sure I was going to order it, but decided to try something different, and I am so glad that I did. I’ve never had anything like it before and don’t know how to even describe it other than heavenly. Don’t be fooled by the outside appearance of the restaurant, go in. You’ll be glad you did!

The food was incredible and delicious. I got the 3 meat (Pulled pork, burnt ends, and brisket). The service was immaculate, shout out to Demi for being so knowledgeable, friendly, and going above and beyond. I will be back here, next time I am in Dallas.

They’ve mastered that Texas BBQ foundation, but what makes them stand out is the Tex-Mex twist infused into everything they do. It’s not forced — it flows. It’s bold, flavorful, and straight up addictive. My personal favorites? The birria tacos and the burgers. The birria tacos are rich, juicy, and packed with flavor — messy in the best way. And the burgers are underrated… smoky, hearty, and done right. Now let’s talk about the Texas Twinkies. Bold. Loaded. Stuffed with brisket and full of flavor — they don’t hold back. One bite and you get that perfect mix of heat, smoke, and savory goodness. And the Mexican corn? Never disappoints. Creamy, flavorful, and the perfect side to balance out all that smoky meat. Hurtado isn’t just barbecue — it’s Fort Worth culture on a plate. If you know, you know. If you don’t, it’s time.

I really like the brisket break fast tacos! The brisket was succulent and flavorful. The eggs were fluffy. Tortillas were warm and fresh. A great combination if you ask me. The place had a great atmosphere and very friendly staff. I most definitely will be back.

This place is fantastic and Demi deserves a raise! We are from out of town and wanted a Texas barbecue experience and boy did we get it! We got the El Jefe platter for three people and it was more than enough food. Demi was super helpful and made great suggestions, including adding a Texas Twinky to split between the three of us. We sat on the patio in January with the heaters on and were very comfortable. This is an order at the counter and the food is brought to your table type of establishment that offers both breakfast and lunch/dinner.

As a new customer at Hurtado BBQ the atmosphere as you walk in the door the Smokey aroma welcomes you right as well as a kind greeting, the prices of the food is worth it completely. If you’re looking for the Texas welcome as a new comer but aren’t as a fan of the loud atmosphere this is the place to go. They don’t have a secret menu but I’ll whisper this secret (ask for the brisket elote) you’ll love it. They have a slight alcohol choice but it’s all fine and dandy

My friends and I went to Hurtado tonight to celebrate my birthday and we had such a great time. It was our first time to visit and the staff was so kind. We ordered brisket, pulled pork, pork belly burnt ends and the big papa potato. Everything was delicious! I try pork belly at every BBQ place I go and these were the best. The flavor was so rich and they were cooked just right. Also it was so kind of them to surprise me with birthday goodies and take photos of our group. The banana pudding is excellent! I am definitely coming back with my husband in the future. Next time I want to try the birria taco and the sausage.

Came here with my husband for his birthday breakfast. Wow was the food good! Very friendly and quick service. They weren't busy when we got there around 9:30am but it was getting busier when we left. I imagine it's crazy busy at peak lunch hour. We enjoyed listening to the old country music playlist they had streaming.

I was heading to Mansfield with some friends for cheesecake, but they were closed on Sunday. But right next door is Hurtado. I checked their ratings on YELP, and in we went. You order just inside the front door, where you're given a plastic number to set on your table for service. This place was busy...like, really busy. I was told it'd be a 15 minute wait. But 15 minutes turned into 30, and then 45. I was a little annoyed because nobody checked on us during this wait. Nobody. When the food arrived, the brisket was extremely fatty. If I had to estimate. I'd say it was a good 35% fat. The food was actually delicious, which is why this rating is getting a high mark. The potatoes salad is amazing. For real. The restaurant is rustic with bar-appeal.

A few things that we ordered. The trinity with ribs, brisket, sausage and a side of potato salad. Ribs were amazing, sausage and brisket were ok. We weren't a fan of the potato salad. It was a bit bland, next time we will try the beans or corn. The Birria taco was amazing with the consume! This was by far the best consume we have tried. So much flavor with added spice!!!! Wow!!!! The brisket tostada was really good as well! It was layered with refried beans. We also had a tres leche banana pudding. Very surprised it was not overly sweet. It was well balanced and the only thing I would recommend is that they needed to add more cookies to it. :-) Service was great! Made recommendations and answered all of our questions! It looks like it's a small area to dine in, but while we were leaving we noticed there was another door with more seating available.

1st time Saturday at about 4pm. Tried to order the brisket cornbread but they were out, also out of the torpedoes. It wasn't like it was 15 minutes til closing. We ordered and waited 14 minutes, that's how long it was when I started keeping time. Got our order and it was ok. Wish they had not run out of what was supposed to be their specialty.

Everything was great! I had been wanting to come try their Texas Twinkie and it did not disappoint. Perfectly crispy bacon wrapped with a good balance of cream cheese to meat inside. My friend said their birria tacos were pretty good too and no complaints about the bbq. Staff was super nice checking in making sure we were enjoying everything and there is plenty of seating inside and out. Will definitely be back!

Have been here a few times & food is always so good. The staff are friendly & super helpful. No the regular inside part is small but they do have a patio but it is screened in. Worth checking out.

The barbecue was very good. The side were all okay. Inside the restaurant was hot and there were lots of flies all over. The parking was also limited. Service was also okay. Servers were friendly but the place was not as clean as I was expecting.

Was looking for a nice BBQ place to check out on a Sunday and gave them a try. I had the sandwich combo and beans. Food was tasty and filling atmosphere was nice place was clean country music playing very nice vibe. If in the area again would try something more substantial.

The food was absolutely AMAZING!!! I really loved the brisket, no need for knives here!! The burnt ends were to die for! We ordered the El Jefe and it was sooooo much food. If you're looking for great BBQ this place will definitely not disappoint!! The service was great, very friendly and sweet. The environment was very laid back and relaxing

The staff were overly friendly, plenty of space to eat, outdoor area included! Food was off the charts! Got the El Jefe. El Jefe has 1/3 lb each of brisket, pulled pork, spare ribs, turkey, burnt ends & sausage.

This might sound like a backhanded compliment; however, when you go to a restaurant and the sides are stellar that generally means your meal is going to be good. That is how things started at Hurtado BBQ. Before we talk meats let me say that the green beans with chorizo and their street corn were stunning sides. The chorizo they use is actually small chunks of sausage not the ground meat insides which made for a nice texture and the flavor was outstanding. The chorizo was complementary not overpowering. The street corn had a nice balance of cilantro, red pepper and cotija cheese. Very tasty! The meats? We had a three meat platter with burnt ends, brisket and ribs. The burnt ends were fatty and well seasoned. The brisket was tender enough to cut with a fork, while the rub on the ribs was nicely carmelized. This was a platter of comfort food and a palate of BBQ three ways. Be advised they do not serve alcohol so you need to bring your own if that is important to you. Hurtado is a no frills, rustic eatery so come as you are. We will be back!

Hurtado BBQ has some pretty good BBQ. There's so much good BBQ in the DFW area that it's hard to breakout, but this place is one of the better ones. I went with a chopped brisket sandwich and hatch mac & cheese in the side. The brisket was juicy and flavorful, although I wish the BBQ sauce on the table had been better (or at least more than one option). The Mac & cheese was standard fare for this kind of place--not bad, but nothing fancy either. If you're nearby and looking for tasty meats, give this place a try!

First time! I would recommend! Everything was perfect and service was quick. Wish I had one in AZ.

This BBQ was delicious! We ordered the brisket and brisket tostadas. Don't forget to try the Mac n cheese and street corn. Both are amazingly good! The spicy sweet bbq on the table was my favorite sauce!

Very friendly people. Best BBQ sandwich I've ever had. Come to Austin and blow the other boring BBQ joints out of the water!

Finally tried hurtado bbq after having it on my list for months. Very simple establishment with parking in the front and back of the restaurant. They have stool seating and a covered patio seating as well. They have various menu options from 1/2 pound+ of meat to entrees with sides. I got the Texas trifecta with macaroni. The brisket was delicious and had a nice flavor the sausage was the best thing on the plate and the spare ribs weren't bad with a little bbq sauce. The Mac n cheese was bland though and let a lot to be desired. I also got the Texas Twinkie to go and damn that is delicious highly recommend. It's a mix of brisket and bacon stuffed in a. Sausage. The wait time was minimal and if dining in they bring it right to you.

I visit this location a lot, probably twice a month. The food is always consistently good. This location serves breakfast everyday until 11am. The breakfast is fantastic with large portions. Staff is really friendly. It's a small building that doesn't offer a lot of seating inside, but they also have a nice covered patio. I highly recommend for breakfast or any other meal time. It does tend to get busy around noon and some items sell out on the weekends.

Craving some barbecue I decided to go to this location near my home. I've been to the location in Dallas by the farmers market, which is their newest location and that restaurant was lovely. This one in Fort Worth is much older, but their customer service was great. I would say, though I did not love their mac & cheese, it was a bit watery. Their potato salad was very tasty the texture was different though. The meats were exceptional especially the jalapeño cheese sausage and brisket. We also had birria tacos, which was something that I didn't know that they had and was pretty good. Lastly the TX Twinkie it was soooo delicious, worth every penny.

Service was great. You order, take a seat with your number, and they will bring the food out to you. I enjoyed their ribs, sausage, mac, and potato salad. The beef brisket was a bit dry imo. The barbacoa tacos were dry for me too. A lot meat which was nice but I felt like it needed so sauce/salsa on top.

Ribs. If you are swing my review and know I'm going to Hurtados please do not order the ribs (that way there are more for me to eat. On a serious note, the ribs are in my opinion the best thing here. My wife disagrees, she is a fan of the brisket. Service is fast, cafeteria style. Pick what you want and they plate it. I'd like to say the sides are just as good as the proteins but I've never saved enough room to try them. They certainly look good but my $ is going for the ribs.

Barbecue that requires NO sauce! Yes, it exists at Hurtado Barbecue. Brisket, chicken, ribs, burgers, sausage - so ALL the proteins cue'd! Nom nom. Sides are plentiful also - mac+cheese, corn, rice, slaw, beans. Special shout-out for the brisket topped baked potato (perfectly baked tater, soft inside with an almost crispy skin). Fountain drinks and tea are beverage options. Parking is a bit of a bear, but it's worth the parking hunt. Decor is wood+metals... very Texas cue. Service is awesome - you lineup to order from the cashier, take your numbered card to at table, and order is delivered to you. Grab your own plastic utensils & napkins by the fountain drink machine. Enjoy!

Stopped by Hurtado Barbecue for a quick lunch and had the brisket sandwich. The brisket was good, and I really enjoyed the barbecue sauce they had on the table. For a side, I went with the mac and cheese, which was excellent. It had green chilis mixed in, adding a nice kick. The atmosphere is casual, making it a good spot for lunch or an early dinner. They also offer outdoor dining, which is a nice option when the weather's nice. Service was friendly, rounding out a solid experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for some good barbecue for lunch.

I love this place. I always try to make it in time for the breakfast menu that ends at 11. The service is nice and there is inside and outside seating available. The rancher taco, Benedict, and the breakfast platters are all so delicious. The brisket has a good bark and flavor and the verde salsa is amazing.

The interior was basic and set up efficiently. The service wasn't anything special but that doesn't matter. You don't get bbq even slightly considering all that. You're there for the slow cooked brisket, ribs and more. It's not the best in the state but yeen know that it's consistent and scratches the itch of TX bbq. I got the Trinity, brisket rib and sausage. It was all good and came with a side of their Mexican street corn. I had it to go cause I am an idiot who got food and drove home 40 mins in traffic to share it. Still good even Luke warm. Only 27ish dollars to feed two people bbq which is less than my gym membership and the reason you can tell I eat bbq often. They have different locations but I've only ever tried this one. The hours are way friendlier than Goldie's btw.

The food is amazing, the only thing I wish was better is the food temp. Anytime the food comes out it's not as "hot" or "fresh " as I'd like it to be the taste is amazing the portions are amazing the food is just like.. room temp. the people are.. okay I've only ever had one worker be a little off with me but I love this place

Unbelievable!!! I'm in town from Charlotte, NC. I lived in TX for over a decade and have had my fair share of Brisket...but, this is undeniably the best brisket that I've ever tasted! It's melt in your mouth greatness! All of the food was amazing...so much so that I ate here two days in a row and brought my Son and ex-wife on Day 2 Brandon was supper nice and Jordan was great too!!! I cannot wait till I'm back in town...cause, I'm totally coming back to Hutado in Fort Worth, TX!!!

I had been wanting to try breakfast at Hurtado's for a long time, we were finally near by and so it was a must do. I knew it would be good, but I left dreaming about the biscuit with egg and brisket. Golden, Flaky and impossibly buttery, the biscuit is nothing I have had before. Add in the delicous brisket, fresh egg and cheese, and every bite was warm, comforting and addictive. We will be back, even though its a 40 minute drive, we think it was worth it!

This was the first spot I stopped at to to try bbq! I'm glad it was this that i chose! The service was welcoming! They answered all questions and gave us the recommendations! The food was great and it was a great first time!

Mexique. A blend of Texas BBQ and Mexican spice and food. Brisket was excellent and illustrates the pitmaster brilliance. Sides today were potato salad and beans. The seasoning was different yet Delicious. This downtown location easy to find and the huge patio dining area handles crowds easily. Arlington location is the original but this location has that home town feeling. They greet everyone and follow up with you at the table. Attention like this guarantees success and a loyal following. Many first time customers there today and their comments after getting served were overwhelmingly positive. This is a must restaurant to visit.

Hurtado Barbecue was featured on the news Ever since then, I've been wanting to come here. They were featured on the news because, they are right by the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. Hurtado Barbecue has a new location in Fort Worth. I was close by the Fort Worth location because, I had my surgery at the Medical Center Surgery Center. My dad wanted to eat here so I was able to sample some food. I was totally out of it. I was feeling a little loopy because, because my general anesthesia was barely wearing off. However I do remember a few things. The parking lot is small, Hurtado Barbecue is visible from the streets, it's in the Medical district of Fort Worth, they are fairly busy, with prompt service and are accurate with orders, the prices are steep for a small serving. They have a few side items to choose from for $4.oo My dad said the Brisket was tender and thick but they only gave you like four slices. The Pototato Salad was good but not great. The Beans were different, they were very salty with a dash of Cilantro. To summarize things, it's easy to get to the food was okay for the price that you pay, but maybe you will like it ? You will have to try it sometime. ,

Great food, bring your own alcohol which we took advantage of. It's a small place but they do serve pretty good bbq, would recommend trying

I've been waiting g to try Hurtados for a long time. We drive by this location every time we come see my son's family. This time I decided to pickup a to go order during the middle of the week at lunch time. The parking lot is tiny but I got lucky and found a spot. Parking is an issue here. As soon as you walk in the aromas are soul soothing. The inside is small but has a few tables. I dropped a star because they don't offer fried okra. That's a staple to any good BBQ place. I noticed no fries either. So assuming they don't have a fryer. It's a little expensive but most BBQ is nowadays. So we ordered a lunch combo plate that came with two meats and two sides. Then we split it. The brisket was phenomenal! My son liked their cheddar sausage but it wasn't my favorite. But not bad. The potato salad was really good and so were the beans.

This review is for breakfast, and you know it was good because all food was eaten before I remembered to take pics of my takeout. LOL! It was my first time here. I decided to try some Saturday morning takeout. I was met with friendly service. I ordered the biscuit breakfast sandwich, the brisket Benedict, and a cornbread waffle. All the food was yummy. I especially liked that the brisket Benedict was on a biscuit with house made hollandaise, perfectly smoked fatty brisket, and perfectly poached eggs. My hubby enjoyed the food as well. That cornbread waffle is simply dreamy. It's loaded with brisket bits, corn, jalepeno, and yet it's oh so light, fluffy, and buttery. There is plenty of parking and the inside has enough space to enjoy eating there with friends & fam. The breakfast has encouraged me to check out their lunch/dinner menu.

We just stopped by for Breakfast at 10:55 am and looked at the menu for a few minutes. We stepped up to order and was told at 11:03am they stopped serving breakfast. If you see a customer looking at the breakfast menu and you still have the breakfast sign lite up, why not serve us? Instead was told sorry we stopped serving breakfast at 11am. What we were in the restaurant looking at the menu before 11am??? Never going back or recommending this place.

Last night my wife and I were hungry and decided to get some BBQ. Came across Hurtado and we decided to give it a try. I ordered the El Jefe for pickup and let me tell you--this place does not miss. From the moment I arrived, the customer service was top tier. Even though it was close to closing time, the team greeted me with warm smiles and a friendly vibe that made us feel genuinely appreciated. The red slaw was 86'd, but they didn't just shrug it off--they offered a replacement without hesitation. That level of attentiveness says a lot about their commitment to quality and hospitality. As for the food? Absolutely perfect. Every bite was rich, smoky, and full of flavor. Hurtado isn't just serving BBQ--they're delivering an experience. We'll definitely be back!

In DFW for the weekend and tried to maximize my number of BBQ meals. The downtown FWTX location of Hurtado's serves breakfast. A single taco and a cornbread waffle is plenty of great food to start your day. Friendly folks to serve you, although you may have to wait for the waffle. It's totally worth it! I love the converted gas station / C-store vibes for BBQ joints. It's great to repurpose the old building, especially to serve outstanding Q like Hurtado!

Ordered take out, was amazing!!! Everything came hot and fresh. Sides are small portions, do wish they were bigger. But over all this barbecue is one of the best in ft worth.

I really wanted to like this place more than I did. I came in and I ordered the Texas Trinity, which came with the 1/3 pound of brisket, 1/3 pound of pork ribs, and a 1/3 pound of sausage. As well as side of your choice. I chose to get the bacon potato salad, which really wasn't good. I'm used to my potato salad having cubed potatoes but for some reason at this location, it was mashed and there's just something about cold mashed potato salad that is just offputting and it just was not seasoned appropriately either so that really was a bummer. Of the meats, my favorite was the pork ribs. Otherwise I really wasn't too impressed even my sweet tea just honestly wasn't even sweet. The customer service is good howand This place has really good reviews so I was looking forward to it. However, I just really wasn't impressed in probably would opt for just getting the ribs With a different side next time if I come back.

Excellent food and good service. I especially like the variety and that this is naturally savory meat with some spiciness, rather than full of sugar.

Food was good will definitely be back for the the beef ribs service is great per usual the bbq smoked and tasted great

Stopped in after hearing lots of reviews of this place and finally had the opportunity. As soon as I walked in, I was quickly greeted by the cashier who was helpful and friendly. I'm pretty simple when it comes to bbq so a sandwich, side, and drink was a given. However, the Texas Twinkie caught my eye so I had to def try one too. I was torn on sides...I'm not big on potato salad but on this day, it was calling my name but so did the elote. I asked the cashier and she said hands down, elote. So it was settled. I beat the lunch rush by about 15 mins which was great. Sat down at a table - loved that there was bar area to sit for those dining alone. Received my order in about 10 mins - looked delicious and boy did the Texas Twinkie and elote look super appealing. Chopped beef sandwich was good, a good Smokey flavor with plenty of meat. I'm a fan of warm bbq sauce and was a little sad there were just bottles on the table. Texas Twinkie was the highlight! Delicious. Crispy outside, creamy and gooey on the inside and bursting with flavor. I wanted more but only bought one...shame on me. Now for the elote, I was a bit disappointed. Presentation was wonderful but there was something different in the flavor. I'm thinking it was the cheese - it didn't seem to dissolve and felt powdery instead of Parmesan cheese that normally dissolves in elote. Again, not bad, just different and not for me. All in all a great lunch.

so good! service was fast and food was bomb. Texas Twinkie and birria tacos. space is a little crowded though.

Don't rlly like the sides baked beans more specifically were terrible i did like the Texas Twinkie though

Great service and friendly people. The brisket and ribs are delicious. Get the Tres Leches banana pudding

Super impressed! Came here for the Texas Twinkies. They were Devine! The burnt ends were sooooo good. The ribs were just as good-loved the rub! Tender on the inside, perfectly "burnt" on the outside. Just pure perfection! Street corn was good, spicy but good and potato salad was tasty but could use a little "zest". Pricey! A little stingy on the meat portions but it won't stop me from coming back! Service was good. Yelp you finally found me the best BBQ in Fort Worth!

Updating to a 5. This is the only BBQ I'll eat now. I know that ignorant sounding but they have the best ribs and Mac and cheese ever. I really don't care about any of the other sides. Thanks for always treating us with kindness and great service whenever we go in.

This place is amazing. just amazing! I'm so glad I came... and we got the combo order for 6 adults, 1 kid. We had leftovers still! The meats were so good, I had so many sausages and still had left overs. The mexican cornbread in the middle was soft and crunchy altogether, great!! That birria taco, so good but heavier. I think the best sides was probably the cabbage!! Crunchy and tasty. It is a quick service and don't get your seats before you order. read the sign! be courteous. you'll have seating! It was hot inside though..... barely any ac. We'll be back when we're in town again!

I came here for the first time today. Four people behind the counter and not one of them said hello or how can I help you. We looked at the menu for five minutes. Waited another five minutes for someone to greet us and take our order. No one did. They didn't even make eye contact. Very bad first impression. We left. My money spends everywhere. Pappasito's will be happy to take our money and provide great service. You will not get a chance to dismiss or ignore me again.

I dropped into this location after visiting a friend in the nearby hospital. I was starving and needed some meat in my life. I ordered a half pound of brisket, a quarter pound of burnt ends and a house sausage. My food came out very fast and it was fresh and it was delicious. I highly enjoyed the brisket most out of everything but all of it was quite appetizing. I would like to come back to try the ribs, shotgun shells and a few other items
