This was the XXX Bola Red (I’ll post the Lone Spur Mild later)
So I’ve been here in the past but just had wings…which are good too. There is a separate area on the menu just for chili so you have to deliver if you are touting it that much. I was told this would be a little spicy…and yes it was. In fact the hottest chili I’ve written about so far. Now I’m sure there are hotter ones and depends on your tolerance level. It did have nice hunks of brisket and a tomatoey sauce. I didn’t get a huge dose of chili powder or paprika taste so it was more of a meat/veg flavor. The heat was more immediate rather than on the backend. They do have some hot sauces on the menu so I’m thinking the heat came from the sauce vs any cayenne or peppers. It didn’t come with any cheese or sour cream. Maybe some of that could have cut the heat a little.
Overall taste – 6
Spice level – 3.4
Heat level – 10
IT Factor – 6.8
Value – 7 – I got the bowl for $12 which was decent sized and comes with tortilla chips and a nice slab of cornbread. So in that sense it could be your whole meal.
