🌮🚨 September Tuesday Taco Feature: Chopped Brisket Jalapeño Taco 🚨🌮

Taco Tuesday brought a little extra attitude this month.

We’re piling on chopped brisket, crispy fried jalapeños, and lime crema, with lime wedges on the side to brighten the whole thing up.

Smoky, crispy, a touch heat, and worth planning your Tuesday around.

Smokin’ the Good Stuff

08/30/2026

Come see us Saturday and Sunday. We are closed on Monday but you can still have Whatcha on Labor Day! Place a To-Go order on Sunday (up to 10 lbs of meat) and enjoy on Monday. Our food reheats beautiful 🤤

These Iowa stops turn the long weekend into a very smoky road trip. Somewhere between the first rib and the last scoop of mac and cheese, Monday starts feeling a lot less serious.
