While grilling fajitas out at the lake, I decided to try some Tablitas at a local meat market. I just got a little over a pound to make as appetizers to the fajitas. Man, did I make a mistake! Everyone wanted more. I tried half of one, and they were heavenly! Holy smokes were they good! This weekend I'm planning for about 1.5 lbs per person and cooking some more. This time it will be the main course! I had some a while back, but forgot how good they were. If you don't know, tablitas are cross cut ribs.

Yes Sir, they are greatness!

Did you go to Mexican Tienda? Another good one is three flags meat market right before the bridge going to Payne Springs. Try the al pastor. Both places have great tamales too!!

YES!! I picked them up at 3 Flags. We got all our fajita meat there.

That little place has some great food. Homemade tortillas, Guacamole, Tamales, and every kind of meat you can imagine. Same for Mexican Tienda in Mabank, and they'll cook it for you for no extra charge. I try to support local small businesses as much as I can.

Yes Sir !!!

Yep, I could have a whole meal of tablitas

Also try the La Tapatia meat market at Josey and Frankford next to Nico's Cocina. They have excellent marinated tablitas and fajitas. We actually ran into your mom and dad at Nico's a few months ago.

Me and everyone else used to sell them as Flanken Style Ribs back when I had a meat market (87-06). Didn`t really sell very good back then either. YouTube, Food Network and Mexican Restaurants have educated people on how to cook lots of different foods in the past 25 years after the internet evolved.

Bill, how are you??!! Mom and dad go there all the time! Thanks!

Come on Chad

Been eating those for 20 years. Next time, get some of the seasoned split chicken legs too.

Good stuff. We use those for Korean style ribs.

The technical term is Mexican sideways ribs

I just but the ribs at HEB or Wal Mart and cook them on the grill, not a fan of the sweet seasonings they use at the Mexican stores
