I have been to different BBQ around LA,San Bernardino and Riverside county and I compare everyone of them to Taste of Texas. I would recommend the Brisket and homemade tortillas. (more)

Great food, large portions. Spicy barbeque sauce, sides of beans, rice, and tortillas make this a local favorite. The pork ribs are lean and meaty. The quality of the food is evidenced by the crowds that are always... (more)
