Caribbean Dream Texas BBQ
Bucking the trend of all things mobile, the ambitiously geographically named Caribbean Dream Texas BBQ serves their food out of a catering truck that seems to be permanently parked in the parking lot of their unfinished building at the corner of York and Hazelwood. They didn’t have the chicken or sausage on the day I visited, so I tried the brisket and ribs, which came with a small salad and side of red beans and rice for $10. Since the demise of Dante’s, now the Taco Stop, I’ve been hoping for a great BBQ spot in NELA. As Caribbean Dream hasn’t moved into their restaurant yet, the jury is still officially out, but last night’s sample wasn’t Gus’s West. The homemade sauce was good but the servings were fatty and a little tougher than I’d like. Maybe slower cooking or a better quality of meat will come with the move into the restaurant. I’ll try back then.
