Bludso's Serving Up Breakfast Tacos And Sunday Football

Kevin Bludso's Texas-style BBQ spots serve up what's arguably the best 'que west of Texas. And now Bludso, who's an avid Dallas Cowboys fan, will be dishing out another Lone Star staple that many of its expats miss -- breakfast tacos.
Starting the morning of Sunday, Sept. 8, the BBQ joint located in Mid-City will be open at 10 a.m. so that you can watch the 2013 NFL season with one of said tacos in hand.
Lovers of the classic California breakfast burritos will quickly warm to the idea of morning tacos, no doubt. At Bludso's, there'll be two options: one stuffed with smoked meat and egg and a veggie version made with smoked potato and egg. They'll be served with a smattering of smoked tomatillo salsa.
Bludso's, like many other restaurants, is normally closed on Monday nights, but as soon as the season starts they'll be opening up for game time, which will include drink specials and BBQed beef ribs.
Just be sure to watch your tongue. Like we said, this is Cowboy's land -- so much so that Bludso's smokers down in Compton are emblazoned with their navy blue stars. Maybe that's part of the magic of their brisket. Whatever it is, it's working.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
