When I say El Tejas Twist was phenomenal... I mean PHE-NO-ME-NALLLLLLL. We got the ribs, elote, birria ramen, and birria quesadilla. The ribs were so soft, juicy, and melt in your mouth. The birria quesadilla was cheesy and perfectly flavorful. The birria ramen was flavorful as well and had generous birria meat in it. We stopped by as we drove into DFW and I’m so glad we did because OMAIGAAAA 😮‍💨🤤 I told my bf we gotta move to Forney now 🤭

Everything here was so goood!!! We had the birria quesadilla that was so juicy and flavorful. We also had the platter with sausage, ribs, brisket, and a side of broccoli casserole. The brisket was just falling apart and so full of flavor. And it’s a given that you need to get the Texas Twinkies! We will definitely be back. And once it gets warmer we’ll be back to enjoy the outside games as well.

Delicious! Get the El Tejas Trinity…..great sampling of brisket, ribs and sausage. Try the spicy cabbage and bacon, too. The chicken verde Molly Taco is a must also! It’s a tamale stuffed quesadilla….so good!

Walked up and was greeted by country music and amazing atmosphere. Staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. We got a rack of ribs, a birria quesadilla, elote, and birria ramen. All were 10/10. Their bbq sauce is 🔥🔥 worth every $

Picked this place off of pictures and reviews. It did not disappoint. Ordered the Trinity, elote, and a half dozen tamales. Plenty of food for 2 and still took home some. The thick slices of brisket were moist and tender. Ribs were juicy and flavorful. This place is a must stop for anyone driving through the area.
