This place takes the crown as my #1. As a seasoned pitmaster who’s been through every major BBQ spot and hundreds of lesser-known ones, I can say with confidence, this is the best.
My husband took me to this amazing spot today. I am super impressed and that is hard to do for me because I love flavorful and delicious food. We had birria tacos, birria noodles, twinkies, beef ribs and every single thing was more than amazing. The lady at the register was cool. I told her I wanted everything and she agreed but hubby said no. I can’t wait to go back because this is a true gem in Forney and I hate we just found out about. Will be on a constant rotation for us....
I have had the brisket, pork belly, birria, and beef ribs in different forms which are all outstanding. The tamales are as good as my mom's which is rare. I always get the Texas twinkie. This is among the best in DFW for sure. Brisket passes the Texas Monthly top 50 bar for me.
