OK... I have heard enough about the Tablitas...

Do you get them from the Mexican market or would Albertsons, etc have them?

Smoked or grilled?

I assume that you just season with your favorite Sucklebusters product then cook? How long do they take to cook?

Thanks guys...

Get them from Mexican market, like a La Michicana. They're already seasoned/marinated. Grill them hot. Man they are good!!

Chuck -
I get them from La Machiocana also .. I bout 2.5 lbs of them for $10.00 and they are actually
called Costilla Marinada (translates to Marinaded Ribs) but if you found an english speaker at
the meat counter you can ask for Tablitas. I walked back and forth the meat counter about 4
times looking for Tablitas on the little signs and could not find them.
They come already marinaded and really just need to be grilled and they have a great flavor as is.
They cook really fast also.
Enjoy them they are great.

Had some last night, Mexican store had them on sale for $1.49 pound. Were really tasty. CF

I dont have a La Machiocana anywhere near me but there is a Fiesta. I will look for them next time I am in there.

Thanks for the help guys!!!

Chuck your location says fort worth?? Where in Forth Worth there are 3 in the area about 10 if you go to much further. The one down on 28th and main has a sign that says tablitas the other says something marinada.... or something. Fort Worth is my calling area with my employer I can help you locate them

Oh by the way I cook them like fajitas, and about 2-3 minutes over a hot fire

Im in Benbrook... SW Ft. Worth.

There is a Fiesta on Hwy 80 thats about 6 or 7 mins from the house. Thats the only Mexican market I know of over on this side of town. Thats where I buy all of my produce.

Well there are several thing about me is I grew up in south TX and will walk in to places that most people would not even think about going into , there is a La Michoacan on 28th st just west of Main in Forth Worth right across from Carnival. I live in Azle and that is where I go. There are a few I think near the base just east of it on 28th just keep your eyes out in that area they are there... fiesta may have them I bet they do

Forgot all about the one on Hemphill and there are some on Seminary too..meat markets

I never did like them. Too many bones.
