Texas meets Mexico in this unbelievably delicious dish! Beef brisket is seared off then braised low and slow with Mexican chiles and spices until absolutely melt-in-your-mouth-tender. Chef Akhtar's authentic Mexican barbacoa is served up with corn tortillas, fresh guacamole, rice and pickled red onions that are tinged a beautiful shade of pink with hibiscus flowers. Consider yourself warned: you might find yourself craving these tacos week after week!

Love every bite! Please put back on menu. I haven't ordered since not on menu. It's a deciding factor for me to order. So good!
