Casual American barbecue inside Forum Buenavista with crowd-pleasing ribs and wings, but reviews cite slow service, occasional food safety lapses, and value concerns; go for classic BBQ cravings, not a quick or bargain meal.
Texas Ribs falls well short of acceptable dining standards due to serious food safety concerns with multiple reports of spoiled meat and illness, compounded by significant consistency problems in temperature and doneness. Slow service and billing delays further undermine the experience, while poor value perception at current pricing makes this a risky choice despite occasional positive visits.
Inside Forum Buenavista, Texas Ribs draws moviegoers and shoppers with the promise of smoky plates and big flavors in a casual, sports-bar setting. Some diners praise juicy ribs and friendly servers, while others report long waits and food arriving cold. One guest put it simply: "Good taste, but we waited far too long". Expect convenience over charm, and be aware of some review authenticity concerns are not flagged here; instead, multiple reports raise food safety and speed issues. The cooking leans classic American BBQ: baby backs, wings, burgers, and sides like slaw and beans. When on form, it delivers comforting, straightforward barbecue without culinary theatrics. Value perceptions are mixed—prices are chain-level high for the mall, and recent reviews cite portion lightness and inconsistent temperature, so it suits cravings for familiar BBQ more than seekers of refinement. Families will find kid-pleasing staples such as burgers ($269 MXN), wings ($299 MXN), corn ($59 MXN), and simple salads. There is no explicit kids menu in the snapshot, but the options are adaptable. If your child is picky, stick to burgers, wings, and corn; skip salads with chicken on busy promo days due to reports of delays and doneness issues.
