Brisket Root Flavor - Kensington

Authentic food, good prices, kind people, clean environment.

BRF makes the best Mexican food I've found in the DMV. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

I was in the Kensington area at lunchtime so as usual I reached for Yelp. I found Brisket, Roots and Flavor. I am a huge brisket aficionado and decided to give it a try. It's located on the edge of a gas station parking lot and has 1 picnic table on the lawn. They have a good size menu full of sandwiches, empanadas, tacos, burritos, bowls and more. I chose the shredded brisket sandwich which comes with fries. It was ready quickly and everything was hot. The brisket is cooked well and tender with mild spices that I didn't recognize. The sandwich also has cabbage cole slaw and chipotle aioli. It is very different in flavor than I have ever tasted with brisket but it is delicious! The fries were also abundant, hot and crispy! I will definitely be back to try many of their other menu items. Definitely give it a try!

I come here at least once a month. It's a special treat. They recently cut their hours close at 5pm) which means it's no longer feasible for me to get dinner food here, which is very sad. Also closed Sundays. It's very affordable so you can get a lot of items to try. Must try: brisket taco pupusa load it up with the cabbage slaw then eat it like a taco) yucca fries comes with punchy Chipotle Mayo dipping sauce) plantains

I love this place. it is a food truck/trailer on the parking space of the bp tankstelle at the corner of the university and lexington st. I had the brisket.
