That's Alamo Heights Judson north side people who call Niosa Kneeosa they came to San Antonio in the 80s and 90s they made 1604 that used to be an old dirt road into a major hwy. A real Mexican from San Antonio had no reason to ever venture past 410. It was like the Latino version of Village.

you sonuvabitch

i'm 1K miles from either of those fucking things right now asshole

You would think someone would snap and come up with Barbacoa fast food stands like they have Subways and McDonald's cater to the local public. Chicago has red hots and Italian hot beef sandwich stands every10 blocks.

While filming a documentary at wood lawn lake today I couldn't help noticing how polluted it was and how this city can turn a blind eye to such a beautiful lake,

This 5 year documentary on BigRed and Barbacoa in San Antonio has now come to an end as yesterday I was very lucky to finally track down the person who is responsible for this tradition. Jesse Flores who was an employee for 7up/BigRed in "1950" was the first person to bring Barbacoa to work and the employees loved it and the rest is history. Look for this film to be completed this summer and a special premier of this exclusively for the TRolls and all ST posters.
Long live BigRed and Barbacoa puro San Antonio!

Maybe your not a BigRed drinker. This tradition is really for the bigRed fans and they have been around since the 1950s Thanks to my discovery of Jessy Flores the BigRed Barbacoa king.
look for him on a float at the next Fiesta

Anyway, the chick that took my card when i left had a T-shirt on that said Barbacoa and Big Red on it.

[ididnotnothat]

Everything we eat these days is bad and no matter what we eat we still get a day older and a day closer to death.

The BigRed and Barbacoa documentary will be completed by Manuel Cantu

I just offered my collaboration since i was going to woodlawn lake anyway maybe somewhere down the line I may need a favor. But who knew I would actually find the man who started it all? I don't want to steal anyone's thunder plus I have a 10 day deadline of my own to make. But if anyone wants to be part of the film make sure you go to his facebook page
do your part and support local Independent film.

Poor Woodlawn. He probably shitted on the track like the other dogs and someone got pissed.

What exactly is barbacoa? Is it anything like tripas? My co-workers convinced me to eat a tripa taco at Fiesta this year and I almost threw it up.

Oh , and Dr. Pepper mixed with Big Red great.

No barb is actually made from real meat, not that intestine BS you ate.

Ahh okay.

Intestines are pretty good if cooked right. I'm a big fan of chitterlings:toast

[baseline bum]

Barbacoa is facial meat, isn't it? Great stuff, though you'll become a fat fuck if you eat it with any kind of regularity.

Updates uploading..

While trying to find a photo of my bike for Kens5 I saw these old pics on Google.

[bigzak25]

Bro, every Saturday morning...two barbacoa tacos with the green chile. Life is good!

[bigzak25]

Shame about that dog...

[baseline bum]

Good to see your ass back here mouse

[Twisted_Dawg]

Totally shocked a 5 year old thread about Barbacoa con Big Red didn't include this tribute:

This!

And don't forget the cilantro with the onions. Carnitas are just as awesome!

I didn't think you could beat barbacoa on it's own and ate it by itself for years, but damn it's even better with the cilantro and onions. Love using an arbol-tomatillo salsa on it too, I think it works better than the serrano-tomatillo salsa I prefer for chicken.
