Riscky's BBQ:Your Taco Doesn't Get More Texas Than This

My latest taco tasting was at

Riscky's Barbeque

6701 Camp Bowie Blvd

on the West Side

Fort Worth, Texas 76116

This location can be a little tricky to get into because of its location at the split of Camp Bowie and Camp Bowie West (Hwy 80). From Lackland Road and Hwy 80 you can cut through the Fallahs parking lot. I can't remember if Big Lots is still there or not. Once to the other side, take a left on Camp Bowie and Risky's will be on your right.

I ordered the Chopped Brisket Tacos; chopped prime lean brisket, served on a handmade tortilla with no preservatives, grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, with a side of beans and salsa. I was also given pickled jalapeño slices without having to ask. 

I had to pick up my to go order at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and had my food ready to go quickly. He even threw in those jalapeños I told you about.  It was $6.99 plus tax.

Once I got home, I flung open the styrofoam container and was overcome by the smokey brisket smell and the sight of bold fresh colors popping on my plate. I was supposed to take a pretty picture of the two tacos but animal instinct kicked in and I went in for the kill like a lion on a wildebeest.

I had devoured an entire taco before realizing I still needed a photo. Oops. 

These tacos are big. The meat is superb. It was moist but did not leave a messy puddle or soak through my flour tortilla. The brisket totally works in this taco. The medley of fresh toppings complimented each other and the brisket perfectly. The salsa tasted very fresh and homemade. I want to add that the cheddar cheese was not listed on the menu but, I'm glad they added it. The jalapeños are a must. They gave this taco just the right amount of spicey. On my next visit, I intend to try it with some bbq sauce instead of salsa.

Damn. I'm getting hungry and wanting more just thinking and writing about them. If you are a bbq lover and a taco lover, combine the two and try the chopped brisket tacos at Riscky's asap. They will make you yell out, "Yee hawww!"
