La Casa De Barbacoa - Castle Hills

Barbacoa tasted old and dry hard actually my own dog wouldn't eat !

Ok so I have past this place many times. Finally stopped in today. Took me a bit to try find what I wanted because at first I thought damn this place is kinda expensive. 17.99 a pound for Barbacoa. I almost left thinking eh I ll pass. But I sucked it up. Dug deep in those pockets and ordered. 2 lbs with tortillas. Came with plenty of salsa and pico. 45 or so was the cost. OUCH said my wallet but I pushed forward. Moments later arriving at work the unboxing if you will started. My fork diving in to the mound of barbacoa before me. I took a big bite. Gosh oh mighty. It was good. I went for another grab of this golden meat. Same as before. Amazing. No fat to be found whatsoever. Very very good and worth the price. I actually asked others if the price is fair and apparently for the quality it is so there is that. Thanks y'all.

The restaurant offers great options for barbacoa. While the exterior blends in with the surrounding buildings, the interior is beautifully decorated. The atmosphere is welcoming, as the staff greets you upon arrival, and they provide delicious beans with your order. There's minimal wait time because the staff is skilled at expediting orders. I will definitely return.

I know the owner, and he has a big heart and a strong sense of pride that you don’t often find in most restaurants. I'm originally from El Paso, and I’ve noticed that food varies greatly from place to place, but this restaurant truly stands out. The food is excellent, not greasy at all, and it leaves you feeling satisfied. We often hear that if something is cheap, it’s not good, and if it’s good, it’s not cheap. However, I highly recommend this place not just for the delicious food, but also for the warmth and dedication from the family behind it.

Barbacoa was great ...no fat all juicy tender meat. Tamales were good just need a bit more meat. only disappointed was we thought it was a dine in restaurant.
