Pica Rica. #7 in the Nation outside of Texas. In Utah!
| At the end of the meal my eyes were filled with tears and everyone at my table was smiling. I love Texas style BBQ. I’ve traveled across TX enjoying some of the best the state has to offer. Pica Rica is a top tier BBQ joint. The brisket is better than most places in Texas. They use Post Oak and a lot of love to nail it every time. I love how the seasoning of the bark is not overpowering and pairs well with the perfectly rendered fat. The ribs are another stand out item; glazed right in front of you with their vinegar or cherry sauce; I’d recommend both. The Cherry is quite unique without being overly sweet. The smoke and pork flavors shine through. The Barbacoa Beef made excellent tacos wrapped in their homemade beef tallow tortillas. Seriously the only thing better would be from my Abuela. If you enjoy sausages don’t miss out on their craft sausages. The Serrano Cheese was not hot and had excellent flavor. Honorable mentions for the chicken wings, Turkey, and pulled pork Although we were all full and didn’t need anymore food, DONT sleep on the desserts!!! The donuts were something special made with beef tallow they were not your run of the meal donut. Lastly the pumpkin pie brought me right back to my grandmothers kitchen. Covered in delightful whip cream the pie put tears in my eyes. You all are so lucky to have this gem in dessert. Do not skip this joint while passing through Dixie. Post Script: upon leaving I purchased 2 quarts of the mole sauce. You’ll never try anything else like it. It is not like pure mole, it mixes all sorts of barbecue flavors in one sauce. Can’t wait to use it on my Thanksgiving Turkey! [link] [comments] |
