There’s a South Texas accent to this Grand Prairie pit, where brisket is served with tortillas instead of white bread and the condiment of choice is pico de gallo. While Zavala’s treats its meats with care, it also has a lively sense of humor. Check out the Sloppy Juan (a sloppy Joe in taco form) or grab a link of “pizza pepper sausage,” named that way by an employee who didn’t know what red pepper flakes were called. Locals love Zavala’s so much, they named its alley Brisket Lane. 421 W. Main St., Grand Prairie. 817-330-9061. $$. Grand Prairie
