Texas Style & Tex Mex
Our Style
There are two kinds of Texas barbecue.
Brisket, pork ribs, beef sausage, pork belly. Real hardwood, live fire, and the time it takes. On a plate, that's barbecue the way you expect it.
Or get it Tex-Mex Style.
Taco, burrito, bowl, sandwich. Same meat off the same fire, with green chili salsa and Mexican crema.
What ties the two together is the rub. Garlic, onion, paprika, and chili powder on top of the salt and pepper. Those are the spices Noah's mom cooked with, so the Mexican flavor is already in the meat before it ever gets wrapped in a tortilla.
Pitmaster Noah Farias's mother is from Brownsville, Texas. His father is from Colima, Mexico. This isn't a style we picked up. It's our family's food.
Texas-style Barbeque or Tex-Mex, it starts the same way.
Salt and pepper is where every barbecue rub starts. Salt pulls the flavor out and tenderizes. Pepper gives it the kick. Smoke does the rest.
We don't stop there. Garlic powder for depth. Onion powder underneath it. Paprika for color and a low, sweet warmth. Chili powder to bring the heat forward.
Six spices instead of two. That's the whole difference, and it's why a brisket taco here tastes like one thing instead of two ideas stapled together.
Plate it or Mexify it.
Four ways to get it: taco, burrito, bowl, sandwich.
Flour tortillas, not corn, the way Texas does it.
Then green chili salsa, Mexican crema, and barbecue sauce over the top.
People tell us that combination shouldn't work.
One customer said it straight to Noah:
"I didn't think it was going to, but for some reason that flavor works."
