dcstroker Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Didn't want to highjack another thread so thought I'd start another one. I got some BBQ ribs from Tony's a couple of days ago to take home. Very disappointed! We've always enjoyed their ribs but these were lacking in meat and what was there was tough. Any place else one can go for take home BBQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Adelita's has very good ribs ... they have a half rack special on Wednesday nights but they have them all week long. They have never disappointed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 We also have been disappointed in Tonys ribs, I have been eating them since Tony opened his restaurant, so tried them at Brunos, superb, also, everything at Brunos is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Previously, el Huerto Cafe (in Riberas) was doing a rib special once a month. Now they are trying twice a month on Saturdays. There is an ad in this week's Guadalajara Reporter. They serve a full rack of ribs with one side. We get ours to go. They are not "the best", but fairly good.

canmex87 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 We had a similar experience with Tony's ribs and now go to Adelita's. You will not be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

congodog Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I mentioned this on the other thread. Adelito's ribs are bland. If you like bland, then it's your place. (And my husband doesn't like spices at all, so he like Adelito's) They are tender and fall off the bone, but I like something with a little flavor. Tony's were better, but I'm still in search of a very flavorful rib. I've not tried Bruno's, but have heard Arileo's are wonderful. So my next stop will be there. I think it all depends on how you like your ribs flavored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Note that Arileo's ribs are not your standard fare: they are akin to the flavour my Mom would get in a pressure-cooker roast when I was a sprout. These are not BBQ. I love them that way, every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineyDay Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Were you a bean or brussel sprout? Arelio's ribs are very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Don't forget Cafe Magana. Great ribs. Sorry to hear that Tony's have gone down hill. They were one of my reliable favorites when I first moved here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I think the ribs offered at Arileo are braised, beef, short-ribs, which can be absolutely delicious, but are very different than the "BBQ" pork ribs the other places are supposedly serving, as noted by ComputerGuy. For me, the first thing that has to be involved with BBQ ribs is a BBQ….and not many of the places mentioned so far use one. Bruno's, yes. Tony's…..do they even do it on weekends when they have it out? Anywhere else? Not that I know of, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordtruckman Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Does anyone know if the restaurant formerly known as Bubba's still serve smoked ribs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocki'sMom Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Note that Arileo's ribs are not your standard fare: they are akin to the flavour my Mom would get in a pressure-cooker roast when I was a sprout. These are not BBQ. I love them that way, every so often. Note: NONE of the ribs here are truly BBQ, just ribs coated in BBQ sauce. No 12hr smoking. Bubba's used to attempt this, but not very successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Huerto Cafe does 'em on an open flame BBQ grille, fer realz. As far as I know, Tony's does 'em on a open flame on their steak grille. However, if you're referring to the 6- to 8-hour method of slow grilling, you would probably be right.

I have no opinion on taste or method, but I have seen the barbeque out in front of Tony's on weekends, smoking away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 On Sundays, that would be for Tony's grilled lamb only, which is fantastically delicious if you eat it hot right there. If you get it to go, by the time you're ready to eat it, not so much. And braising involves cooking in liquid (water, caldo, wine) in a pot, so it's quite different than BBQing.

dave0415 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I believe that Tony's ribs are boiled first then BBQed Try the ribs at Rey Taco in Chapala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I believe that Tony's ribs are boiled first then BBQed Yech. Such an old-fashioned way to do it. That fine fat on the ribs is what gives it the flavour, and the crusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slainte39 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I believe that Tony's ribs are boiled first then BBQed Try the ribs at Rey Taco in Chapala Four of us had ribs at Adelita's last week and the consensus was "boiled to mush", but one person's mush is another person's tender. Bruno's gets the preference nod in my family until you get to Guadalajara where they have a couple of places that actually smoke the meat in a smoker oven. One is just a couple of blocks away from the US Consulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lived in Kansas City for 25 years, and I would kill for some genuine, slow-smoked ribs or brisket. I thought that with so many former Texans living down here that it wouldn't be so dang hard to find real "Q" here. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
