Del Toro

My first time at Del Toro, but not my last! I loved this simple yet cozy spot. It's casual and has a cute outdoor area so you can take your dog and they have some kind of game for kids. We stayed inside but it was good to see they had something for kids. My curiosity was piqued when I saw barbecue tacos on the menu. That's not something I have had, but my husband has. I went for something I was familiar with, Birria tacos. Omg! They were filled with meat and cheese, and were lightly fried. Anytime I've gotten birria, there is some fat and juice involved, and theirs was similar. It lends to the flavor. The meat was tender and the broth that it is served with is SO tasty! It was a little spicy but a friend and I agreed the flavor is beautiful! I'm an intermittent faster and a light eater,so I was ready for this meal, but one taco and Mac n cheese was enough for me, but my husband ordered two bbq tacos and shared in on the Mac n cheese. Prices are definitely affordable. Hubby loved the barbecue tacos as well as the macaroni n cheese. Normally, I don't eat pasta, but I wanted to try it. The cheese was very flavorful and the macaroni was cooked between al dente and stracotto. We finished it, no problem!The service was good. I ordered the cherry limeade cocktail and it was light and tasty. Yum! The only negative was that they ran out of the blonde beer my husband really enjoyed. Maybe someone enjoyed themselves to it before we got there. If you're in the area, GO FOR IT! You won't be disappointed!

Absolutely one of my favorite spots to go to! I really enjoy the IPA! The te amor lager is so good! And let's talk about the food, the Texas Twinkies are some of the best I've had! They are a jalapeño stuffed with brisket and cream cheese , wrapped in bacon , smoked to perfection and glazed with bbq sauce! Also amazing! I've had most of the items , and they don't disappoint! Burnt ends are my fav! The nachos are so yum! And they have a true southern corn bread here! So if you are in the mood for something comforting come to Del toro! It's a brewery so it has bar vibes and cute restaurant atmosphere. The service is great ! We enjoy coming here regularly. That's all... buh bye!

Good food, great drinks in a backyard atmosphere. We sat outside around the bar, service was excellent! The Texas Twinkies are fire, the bacon wrapping is perfectly carmelized!! Mac n cheese was bomb, nice and creamy. Elote was good, a little watery at the bottom. Birria taco was very cheesy, consommé was yummy . Carnitas taco pickled onions are a great touch. Brisket taco was great

Del Toro BBQSo after fighting the urge to roll over and go back to sleep on this nice rainy day in Texas, we decided to get the kids out the house and get breakfast but or plans were foiled by long wait lines for a party of 5.As we drove we decided to do what we do and try a new bbq spot. We arrived to Del Toro BBQ with the expectation that it would be like our normal bbq trips. We were greeted by Aaliyah, the hostess and asked if we were dinning in or getting it to go.We dined in and ordered our norm. A pound of brisket (lean and moist), a pound of ribs, the 1/2 pound of jalapeño sausage, some Mac n Cheese, and a couple of Texas Twinkies. Our server Jackie took our order. Bobby, the Pit Master, brought us a sample of their pork belly burnt ends.Great brewery atmosphere. Fast & friendly service. We went early but I can tell this place is popping in the evening with the bar and vibe.The Brisket was classic Texas style. Salt, pepper, and smoke. Nice and tender.The ribs were tender and competition bite. I can still see my bite and it held together nicely.The jalapeño cheddar sausage was simple and classic. Not too spicy. The kids enjoyed it.The pork belly burnt end was rendered really well to the point it crisp up with a nice chew.The Texas Twinkie was on the meaty side. Full of brisket, a hint of cream cheese. The bacon was crispy and glazed very well with a nice sweet bbq sauce.The Loaded Potato Salad was a great side to the meat over load. Creamy, nice mouth feel. The potato held its integrity with all the other ingredients.The Mac n Cheese was made with a good al dente grooved elbow noodle with nice queso cheese dip sauce for a TexMex twist.

Del Toro is located off Main Street in the Historic downtown Mansfield, serving up great BBQ and craft beer from By The Horns Brewing that is located in The Backyard.We came through on a Friday night, and it was fairly crowded inside and out but managed to find a bench outside in The Backyard. There is free public parking across the street, also along Main Street, and behind the business. They have multiple benches and chairs to sit at outside with a heater to keep you warm in the cold Texas winter months. The ordering is pretty much simple as to where you order from the cashier, and they give you a buzzer to come and pick up your food when it's ready. We went ahead and ordered the 4 meat platter in which we chose brisket, pork belly, pork ribs, and jalapeño cheddar sausage. As for the sides, we ordered the elote, mac n cheese, and loaded potato salad. We also ordered the nachos with queso to snack on for our appetizer.Within about 10 minutes, our buzzer went off, and the food was ready for us to pick up. The presentation of the food was beautiful indeed, and everything looked perfect in my eyes. The brisket was cooked perfectly and juicer than ever, while the pork ribs were bone fall off tender and seasoned to perfection. The burnt end pork belly was nice and burnt with a juicy finish that resembled a nice and sweet candy like taste. The jalapeño sausage was smoked right and had a nice snap back when biting into. The sides were a nice compliment to the main course and paired really well with the meats. My favorite was the loaded potato salad that tasted like a baked potato with all the toppings in a cold salad form.Overall, Del Toro was a great place to dine in with friends and family. The food was great and the atmosphere was lovely. Prices were fair and average, and the staff provided excellent customer service while I was there.

Don't get me wrong, I like this place in certain ways, though I used to love this place more when they first opened. They are doing table service now instead of walk up ordering so add tip to the cost of it all if you go. The frito pie was intensely salty to the point I couldn't eat it. Their twinkies and birriw are still very good, the birria is insanely oily though, you dont even need consome, lol. My husband got brisket, forgot to ask for lean and ended up with one whole slice that was entirely fat. He was bummed. Their sides have never wowed me. Are there better bbq choices out there, yes. I'd say this place is just alright but not great.

Staff is always super nice, but the food isn't great. Several better bbq places in Mansfield. They do charge top dollar so for a while your expectations are pretty high.

Always would see patrons at this place when I went to burger spot nearby so finally decided to give this place a try and I'm sad I didn't try it sooner!Everything was fantastic - the brisket nachos, Texas Twinkies, Turkey/Chopped brisket/sausage/ribs were perfection! The max was good. The elote lacked flavor for me and they forgot my charro beans so I wasn't able to try that either. I would def try this place again

We found out about this restaurant because we were looking for a place to eat in Mansfield. We ordered the nachos and the birria tacos. Both were excellent!!! The service was great and the restaurant has a chill, laid back vibe. Will definitely be back!

comically slow bartender. meat was kinda dry and they were out of all of their house beers and only had big name drafts.
