Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many loved the delicious, flavourful tacos, though some found the beef bland or salty. Adding extra seasoning or sauce boosted the taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, with pre-cooked brisket saving time. Some found the sides a bit time-consuming to assemble.
  • Suggestions: Several suggested adding more sauce for moisture. Consider quick-pickling the onions cold instead of microwaving for better texture.
  • Leftovers: Leftover brisket made great cheese toasties the next day. Some found reheating challenging as the cold meat was difficult to shred.
  • Portions: A few mentioned wanting more meat, while others found it plentiful. Adjust serving sizes to your appetite.
