brisket and pork tacos on rockstar house-made corn tortillas. jalapeño creamed corn, oh my.

I ordered from this place on DoorDash. The tacos weren't available to order. The deviled eggs need some work. The flavor is a bit salty and the consistency was a bit soupy. The baked beans tasted like beans heated up straight out of the can. Maybe add some seasoning, molasses and brown sugar. The Mac and cheese needs to be removed from the menu. It's false advertising. It's just noodles with butter and flavorless cheese bits. The ribs were good. I was interested in the brisket hush puppies, but I received regular hush puppies in my order. I might try visiting the actual food truck instead of DoorDash so I can try out the tacos.

This is a no-joke, can't-lose, sure bet. These guys clearly have a passion for what they're doing, and what they're doing is crafting unique and delicious tacos around BBQ meats. (I doubt they'd ever be pretentious enough to use the word "crafting", but that's damn well what they're doing.)Everything from the tortillas to the sides has a special touch. (Can highly recommend the jalapeno creamed corn.) There's a reason I'm here almost every weekend. Do yourself a favor.

Ember Smoke Co has some amazing tacos. I ordered three different tacos and I can't even say I have a favorite because they were all so good. The Bark was their staple brisket taco and it was made with delicious brisket, guacamole and sauces. The pickled onions were a nice touch. The finer things taco had rib meat with Brie and cherries. The flavor profile was so unique and out of the box but it worked so well on their fresh handmade corn tortillas. The al pastor was spot on and they pulled the pork rather than having pieces. I really enjoyed the way it was prepared. The jalapeño creamed corn was also delicious.

Let's just say, I wish I lived across the street from Ember Smoke cause I would be here everyday. The bark tacos were amazing! The food is a work of art, a talent, a passion that definitely shows. The brisket was soo fatty, in a good way. One bite and it just melts in your mouth. As another review put it, not need to chew. Just enjoy those flavors as it melts. The corn or the flour tortillas are fresh and you couldn't go wrong with either. However, It doesn't just stop there, the creamed corn was phenomenal! The consistency was on point and the thought to add jalapeños was mind blowing! I can't wait to go back. Thanks for the hospitality and great vibes guys.

I've been three times so far and I will come back as much as I can. All the meat has been very, very well cooked, fixins are solid accompaniments, the sauces are delicious, the sides are all proper, the corn tortillas hold up very well - honestly, best smoked meat tacos I've ever had.I'll count my blessings they aren't open 24-7 as I'd be broke.

We were completely blown away while we were eating these succulent brisket and pork tacos on rockstar corn tortillas (can eat with one hand and never breaks). the details! amazing salsa variety (spicy, mild/medium, sweet bbq). the jalapeño cream corn is one of our fave sides from any bbq or taco joint. potato salad is finely chopped into perfect al dente cubes. tasty! They sold out fast on some items by the time we got there at 1:30 pm. amazing customer service... thank you for blessing the east side with your true culinary skills! see you again soon.
