Today I had some errands to run at lunch so needed to pick up something quick to eat. I had seen commercials about the return of Taco Cabana's Brisket tacos so I decided to pick up a combo. The tacos looked delicious in commercials and I've always thought its a genius idea to put brisket inside of a taco (especially inside the delicious flour tortillas that Taco Cabana serves).
I was expecting something that looks like this:
To my dismay (because I really do consider Taco Cabana a decent fast food place) I got this: 
The taste was ok- not even close to what bar-b-que should taste like, but edible. I was really disappointed. The next time I want brisket tacos I'll visit Bill Miller's.
I really liked these the last time they had them. Of course it's not real brisket, but the flavor was good, and a little onion and cilantro from the salsa bar really sets them off. Looks like they were stingy with the meat though.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah..."hickory smoked" my ass.
ReplyDeleteI miss Taco Cabana. You guys are so lucky.
ReplyDeleteThe reason it doesnt taste like bar b que is because mexican brisket is prepared diffrent, taco cabana is disgusting... try going to a taco palanque. YUMMY
