Meet The Taquero Who Built a Morelos Style Barbacoa Oven in His Compton Backyard
The concrete oven stands about three feet tall and six feet wide, with the outer wall built about eighteen inches thick and in the shape of a perfect hexagon. Barbacoa Los Cuates slow cooks lamb and goat for 6 to 8 hours each weekend morning.

I grew up in a trailer park in salina ks and there were some Mexicans that had a hand dug pit that they used to make barbacoa. It was so good. Best neighbors and we didn't even speak the same languages.

fuck man, we always cook this at Christmas or New Years and exactly like that in a hole best tasting lamb ever the meat comes out so tender. I’ve always been embarrassed to explain the dish because it kinda sounds ridiculous to say we cook our food in a hole in the dirt.
his TIA put him on the hustle god bless her
Living next to him and smelling that cooking must induce a constant hunger.

My dad's side is very traditional when it comes to barbacoa and ladies and gentlemen if you never had this or the broth you're in for a treat of a lifetime. This taste way better than your regular carne asada tacos the labor put into this is very intense it requires more than 1 maybe 4 people. If you ever have the chance to try this please it will be the best tacos you'll eve eat I promise you!
I just finished eating .....yet my mouth is salivating profusely.....good food ...not 2 many people cook like this in the states....keep up the good work
Never was a fan of goat and lamb, but after seeing this, I'm drooling! I want some now !
