Swoon: Carnitas Nachos At Madera Tex Mex BBQ

The carnitas nachos at Madera Tex Mex BBQ & Tap perfectly exemplify the mashup of bold flavors that co-owner Peter Watson, a former Buffalo Wild Wings franchisee, serves at his new northeastside joint. Salty, fried-to-order corn tortilla chips stay crisp under toppers like queso, charro beans, lime crema, and pulled pork prepared in an all-wood smoker. It’s a great prelude to the house specialty: Texas brisket that cooks up to 16 hours over Madera’s combination of red and white oak logs to a delicious end.
