Flores Barbecue (Closed)

After drawing record crowds at his Whitney location (a 2017 TM Top 50 choice), Michael Wyont relocated to Cowtown and parked a beautiful new trailer near Mellow Johnny’s at the Trailhead at Clearfork. Sitting beside the Trinity River, the trailer wows its new audience with post oak–smoked brisket, ribs, house-made sausage, pulled pork, and that miraculously supple turkey. One of the better surprises is the carnitas taco, served in handmade flour tortillas with squiggles of lush salsa verde. House-made pickles show care for detail, and banana pudding takes us back to grandma’s kitchen. The trailer will stay put till late spring 2020, when Flores’s brick-and-mortar cantina, smokehouse, and grill opens a few feet away.
