JOLENE'S MARKET - BIRRIA TACOS

JOLENE'S MARKET

HOURS:  Daily 10AM -8PM

OK my third visit to Jolene's Market and the third time being overpowered by a single spice.
Don't know what it is but it surely is not my favorite.  I think the Birria Tacos ($15) are made with their same Smoked Brisket which I had last week and said the same thing about the spice.  These are pretty good Birria Tacos though.  Did not see or taste any cheese which was different from most Birria Tacos I have had lately.  The dipping sauce was super oily but had a nice flavor and spicy finish.  Liked the way the tortillas were cooked.  A bit crispy.  I would eat these again and again if it were not for that one overpowering spice.  Gotta find out what it is. One bite and my Wife will know.  I'll bring some home for her next time.

JOLENE'S MARKET - BBQ BRISKET


My second visit to Jolene's Market and I am still eating low carb.  Could not try the great sandwiches that this place is known for so I went for a pound of their Smoked Brisket ($22).  The Brisket was cooked perfectly and had a pretty good flavor.  It was very moist and seasoned well.  The BBQ Sauce was ok but it had a heavy flavor of a spice that I cannot describe.  The pound of Brisket was enough for two days and once again I loved the Pickled Vegetables.
