Part of the lifeblood of any die hard Texas barbecue lover has to be barbacoa. I’ll never forget my first taco way back in the early 90s when I ventured up to a little barbacoa cart on North Lamar near where T&S Seafood is now.

My life has not been the same since.

An altered existence via one taco. Austin is now awash in good head-meat from a variety of animals. There’s sheep barbacoa, goat barbacoa, pig barbacoa and of course the king daddy: cow barbacoa.

Rifling through some old backfiles I stumbled upon this picture of a barbacoa taco from El Tacorrido doused with their killer green sauce.

Are you a barbacoa lover? Then, by all means http://chowpapi.com/wordpress/wordpress-2.8.6/wordpress/category/the-state-of-barbacoa-in-austin-texas/
