Longhorn Barbecue - Bastrop

Stumbled upon longhorn bbq coming out of Bastrop state park, and glad I did! The brisket Birria tacos we out of this world!!

We walked in at 2:35 on sunday and they close at 3. The guys working were great. They invited us in and said sit and stay as long as wanted. The food was really good and prices were pretty much spot on with other BBQ places in the area. We will go back.

Uhm, Wow. I just had their brisket Birria taco Brunch. Simply amazing and also unique- almost like gorditas with tasty barbacoa-looking meat, separate chopped onions/bell pepper, and a bbq dipping sauce. Kudos on that. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful as well.

Thanks to Q and his crew! Having your delicious BBQ made my Mother’s Day very special! ?

I'll definitely be back. I also ordered some brisket chili to go, which was classic. On my next trip, I'll definitely try the birria brisket tacos! It's funny I noticed that among the great reviews, one person had given them a 1 star review. So I clicked through to see who would do that, and they were from Michigan. Context is everything :
