What people say, in short
Churchrow brings Tex-Mex into the barbecue discussion, with positive accounts of brisket, brisket tacos and a brisket sandwich. One customer praised a whole brisket order, and other diners describe good meals or say they would return. The mixed accounts are important: one diner would return only for tacos, another reports dry brisket, and complaints about slow or poorly paced service recur. The recommendation is therefore qualified rather than a claim of consistently excellent barbecue.

Brisket was dry, beef rib average at best; left extremely disappointed compared to Valentina's.
- Caveatu/WelcomeToBrooklandia in r/austinfood · Oct 2025service
Service and pacing need lots of work; dishes arrive late or get forgotten for everyone they know.
- Recommendsu/Ok-Communication9796 in r/austinfood · Oct 2025taste
Enthusiastically praises a brisket sandwich.
- Mixedu/__vheissu__ in r/austinfood · Oct 2025taste
Tacos were good and sausage wrap a favorite, but not good enough to return.
- Recommendsu/SerenityNow312 in r/austinfood · Dec 2025taste
Says the Anderson location is new and the brisket was insane, though consistency remains to be seen.
- Recommendsu/RegularMaximum3570 in r/austinfood · Sep 2026variety
Describes it as a barbecue Tex-Mex place for people who want to combine the two.
- Mixedu/Diligent-Year5168 in r/austinfood · Oct 2025price
Found the brisket tacos good but overpriced; the queso and frozen margarita will bring them back.

Solid option; ordered a whole brisket from them and it was amazing.
- Mixedu/stevendaedelus in r/austinfood · Dec 2025taste
Didn't think it was half bad; the brisket tasted like Valentina's used to.
- Mixedu/crushtrailsdrinkales in r/austinfood · Dec 2025taste
Would only return for tacos; as straight BBQ it fell short, though tortillas are solid.
- Recommendsu/Fit-Yogurt2660 in r/austinfood · Oct 2025taste
Had some damn good food here and is confident they'll find their groove.
