Marketing exec-slash-pop-up pitmaster pro-Brandon Hurtado is trading his barbecue trailer for permanent digs at Arlington's up-and-coming Urban Union district come the first of November. Which is not only good news to the legions of fans who've been lining up for Hurtado's unique style of Texican or Tex-Mex barbecue every weekend for the past five months, but also for 'cue aficionados in general. The meats, cooked over a mix of post-oak and pecan in an offset smoker, include everything from brisket, prime beef ribs and house-made sausages to mango habanero beef belly burnt ends, smoked tri-tip and Texas quail. It's not only meats that are a draw here. Equally compelling are Hurtado's artisanal sides like charred Mexican street corn topped with lime crema and cotija and hatch chile mac and cheese. Pair that with Mexican beer and wine, a dog-friendly patio plus a stage for live music performances and you've got a spot destined to be one of the best BBQ places in the metroplex.
