Barbacoa Santa Rosa Austin Reviews
The Franklin BBQ of Taco stands can be found in Pilot Knob just outside of Austin. The line here was at least 50 deep when I got here and was informed that the Barbacoa tacos were en fuego.

Talking about some fresh carnitas and Barbocoa
Food was spot on. Ladies were super nice .
Best Mexican style barbacoa.
Long line but food was great
Great selection of produce, and price!
The barbacoa in its 3 styles (goat, lamb and beef) were great, I truly believe this place is the best place to eat barbacoa nearby, definitely not TexMex !! Some consider it pricey, but honestly knowing how much time they put in on preparing the barbacoa plus the flavor, its worth it.
This place is fantastic and loaded with food trucks. Barbacoa Santa Rosa specializes in barbacoa de Chivo (goat) and borrego (sheep) .Hands down the best Barbacoa you'll ever have.I also recommend the consumme. Its to die for. The crew is super nice and caring. The only down side is. They're only open on Saturdays and Sundays. Otherwise I'd go there everyday!

Barbacoa is very good, but very expensive ($30 per pound)
For Barbacoa in Austin Texas it’s good the beef and goat barbacoa was tasty good flavor and the salsas are good but might need more spice, the consome was ok maybe because I’m not from Texas and Im use to a different style of consome, overall they satisfy my craving for barbacoa but I had better barbacoa in CA, either way I do think this is the best barbacoa spot I have found in Austin Texas
A specialist with offerings of goat and lamb. Both are good but my preference leaned to the slightly more flavorful lamb. The consome is lighter in body and flavor than most others in town, but is loaded with meat, garbanzo and potato. A preference for a hot Texas summer.

Pedí 4 ordenes de 5 tacos cada una para llevar, y al llegar a casa solo había 4 tacos en cada una
Ordene tacos de barbacoa de res y de borrego y me los dieron todos de borrego. Luego ordené más y le digo a la señora que me dé tacos de barbacoa de res y me da lo mismo. No puede ser que la barbacoa de res huela y se mire como la de borrego que coraje primera y última vez.
