  They offer a variety of great barbeque and Venezuelan food. I'd highly recommend trying the arepas and the tequenos. Probably my favorite BBQ sausage I've had as well. The main downside - service can tend to be slow, since there's usually only two or three people working there. There are also only five tables at the restaurant, so dining in can sometimes be impossible depending on how busy the store is.

  🍖 The Ultimate Fusion: Texas BBQ meets Venezuelan Soul 🇻🇪 If you’re wondering how Texas BBQ and authentic Venezuelan cuisine pair together, the answer is: beautifully. I recently visited Burnt Bbq & Tacos in Plano and met the powerhouse duo behind the magic, Timothy Halls and Maria E Argumedo. Tim is a culinary expert specializing in the art of the smoke, while Maria brings the gift of her mother’s traditional Venezuelan recipes to the table. Together, they’ve created a "hidden gem" that is a total masterclass in fusion.🧤 From the Pit: We sampled a massive spread of their BBQ, and it’s clear they take their craft seriously. The Meats: The Burnt Ends, Shredded Pork, Brisket, Jalapeño Sausage, and Ribs were all flawlessly seasoned. The Details: Their signature rub and BBQ sauce provide a perfect balance of savory and sweet. 🫓 Venezuelan Delights: Maria’s influence shines through in every bite of the traditional sides. The Goods: The Empanadas, Cheese Sticks (Tequeños), and Carnitas were standout stars. The "Secret Sauce": Do not skip the cream sauce it pairs perfectly with almost everything on the tray! 🥣 Homemade with Love: You can taste the "homemade" difference in every side dish. From the slaw, platano frito and Mac & Cheese to the house-brined pickles, everything is made from scratch and served with genuine heart.📍 Burnt BBQ & Tacos | Plano, TX Trust the Google reviews this place is a must-try. Go see Tim and Maria and tell them I sent you! #PlanoEats #DFWFoodie #TexasBBQ #VenezuelanFood #FoodReview #SupportLocal #BBQLovers #HiddenGem #BurntBBQandTacos #TexasEats North Texas Foodies Wylie Foodies North Texas Food Trucks North Texas Whiskey Texas BBQ Chapter Tarrant County Foodies

  Overall pretty high prices ($30) for mediocre food and small portions. I don’t think I’d order the 3 meat combo again. The service was a bit slow, but they were friendly enough. They forgot to pack the cornbread so I had to go back and get it. The meats were pretty good, but the portions were quite small. Barely a few bites. Maybe 4 slices of sausage. I’d recommend the pork belly burnt ends. The sauce was ok. The cornbread was a huge disappointment. It was cold, so the bread was rock hard and crumbled. The butter is also sweet. It tasted more like yellow cake with icing than corn bread. Clearly she got it from the fridge and then just didn’t heat it up.

  I found Burnt on Google thanks to the solid reviews—and they did not lie. My husband and I were staying at a nearby hotel and pulled up to what looks like a tiny spot tucked into a strip mall. He glanced over and said, “You want to eat here?!” Nobody was inside, but I was hungry and not in the mood to hunt for another option, so in we went. The restaurant is small but clean, and Mohammed—who took care of us—was friendly, attentive, and clearly running the show like a pro. We decided to sample a little of everything. I ordered the turkey, mac and cheese, a chicken taco, and a black bean taco. My husband went with the coffee-rubbed brisket on Navajo bread and a side of tostones. Everything was delicious, but the turkey absolutely stole the show—fantastic with or without BBQ sauce. The spicy sauce added a nice kick, and the black bean taco was another standout. While we ate, more customers trickled in, and Mohammed effortlessly balanced dine-in tables and to-go orders. We were already stuffed, but dessert felt non-negotiable, so we grabbed some to go. We tried the sopapilla cheesecake and the banana pudding—the cheesecake was the clear winner. If you have even a little room left after the BBQ, do not skip dessert. This place may be unassuming, but it’s a hidden gem worth stopping for.
