Hardcore Carnivore Tex Mex is a bold, savoury Tex-Mex seasoning designed to bring authentic taco shop flavour to your BBQ, grill and kitchen. Packed with chilli powder, cumin, garlic and classic Southwest spices, this versatile seasoning delivers rich Tex-Mex flavour with mild-to-medium heat that works across tacos, fajitas, nachos, burgers, chicken, beef mince and more.
Created by Jess Pryles and the Hardcore Carnivore team in Texas, Tex Mex seasoning was built to go far beyond basic taco seasoning packets. Instead of bland one-dimensional flavour, this blend delivers proper savoury depth, balanced spice and enough versatility to become a regular part of weeknight cooking and live-fire BBQ sessions alike.
Whether you are grilling fajita steak over charcoal, seasoning taco mince for a family dinner or dusting roasted potatoes with Tex-Mex spice, Hardcore Carnivore Tex Mex delivers rich savoury flavour without overpowering the food itself. It has become a favourite for taco nights, meal prep, smash burgers and even smoked queso dips.
One of the biggest advantages of this seasoning is how easily it works across both traditional Tex-Mex recipes and everyday cooking. It is just as good in tacos and enchiladas as it is on wings, grilled vegetables or mixed through burgers.

🤔Who is Sydney BBQs❓
Meet Erik & Suzie, the dynamic duo behind Sydney BBQs & Rotisseries!
Our journey began in 2019, amidst the whirlwind of early parenthood. We decided to embark on a little side venture, leveraging our shared passion of BBQ. Having grown up with family BBQs, almost on a weekly basis, charcoal and sizzling grills felt like old friends to us.Our humble beginnings saw us selling charcoal from the confines of our garage. To our surprise, the demand was huge, with pallet loads flying off the shelves faster than we could stock them. It was clear we had stumbled upon something special. Fast forward five years, and our little side gig has blossomed into a comprehensive online emporium. From charcoal to rubs, grills to rotisseries, and an array of accessories including spit baskets, gyro discs, skewers, gloves, smoker tubes, and beyond, we've got all your BBQ needs covered.But it doesn't stop there. With loyal customers all over Australia, we're thrilled to announce the next chapter in our story: The grand opening of our very own shopfront. It's been an incredible journey, and we couldn't have done it without the unwavering support of our BBQ community. Here's to many more years of sizzling success!
We’ve built Sydney BBQs & Rotisseries with passion, and our customers have been a huge part of that journey. See what they say about us!
