FAQs About Midwood Smokehouse Chili The Kid Tacos
What proteins can I choose for the tacos?
You can build your Chili The Kid Tacos with your choice of chopped brisket, sliced brisket (for an additional $1), smoked chicken, pulled pork, or chorizo. Each option brings a distinct flavor, making the tacos customizable to your taste.
How many tacos come in an order?
Each order includes two tacos, typically served with a side of Mexican-style rice and beans. This makes it a complete and filling meal.
Are the tacos spicy?
Yes — the arbol chili sauce gives these tacos a noticeable kick. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can request to omit the sauce when ordering.
Can I remove toppings?
Absolutely. You can customize your tacos by requesting no guacamole, no cilantro, no queso fresco, or no onions. This flexibility makes it easier to cater to personal taste or dietary preferences.
What does “Add Chili The Kid” mean?
For an additional $2.00, you can upgrade your tacos with an extra flavor portion, adding a bolder, more intense chili flavor to the dish. It’s ideal for those who love extra heat and richness.
Do the tacos come with sides?
Yes. Each taco order comes complete with Mexican-style rice and beans, making it a well-rounded plate that’s both flavorful and satisfying.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Not entirely. The tacos are served on flour tortillas, which contain gluten. While you can remove other gluten-containing toppings, the base is not gluten-free by default.
What’s the difference between chopped and sliced brisket?
Chopped brisket features smaller, more tender smoky bits with more surface area and bark flavor, while sliced brisket comes in thicker cuts and costs an extra $1.00. Both options are delicious — the choice depends on your texture preference.
Are these tacos similar to the Birriabecue Tacos?
While both are Tex-Mex inspired, they’re different. The Birriabecue Tacos are made with pork and consommé, whereas Chili The Kid Tacos use various meats and a bold arbol chili sauce instead of a dip.
Is delivery available?
Yes — you can order Chili The Kid Tacos through Midwood Smokehouse Delivery®, and they may also be available on third-party delivery platforms depending on your location.
