Their North Park location has been one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego ever since it opened. Legit highest quality Central Texas BBQ and cool unique experience. My regular meal 1/4 Lb. of each the brisket, pulled pork and Texas turkey. There’s nothing better! I highly recommend.
I don’t care what you heard, this is the best bbq in San Diego!!! The ambiance of this place is great for outdoor fun. They have live music midday Saturday. It can get hot but they have misters and plenty of shade. Anyway on to the food……I had pork ribs, turkey, brisket and Mac and cheese. All were excellent but if you’re not going to be as greedy as me, the one meat I would suggest would be the pork ribs. Another great side dish is the potato salad.
Go here if you want traditional bbq with all the fixings!

If you love BBQ you must go to this place, it’s just the best San Diego has to offer when it comes to BBQ.
They have an excellent outdoor area that is family friendly & accommodating to large parties.
The Turkey is surprisingly really, really, really good.
Even if you don’t like turkey, get a slice and enjoy the surprisingly subtle smoke as it remains moist, it’s the best turkey I’ve ever had.
The Brisket is spot on delicious either in the half pound sandwiches or on the plate.
The sandwich is just the meat between two perfect pieces of bread.
You can get sliced onions & pickles on the side as well.
I added the el borracho on the side as well as the traditional slaw.
The el borracho we ordered on the side came on polenta and it’s a must have if you haven’t tried it.
El Borracho has Fritos chips & Serranos in it, & you can order it as a topping without the polenta as a straight dish.
They have an excellent selection of good beer & other beverages.
Our server was efficient though we did not have silverware or bbq sauce until after our food arrived.
The BBQ is delicious even cold, as ours came out cold & got colder because we didn’t have our sauces, napkins or utensils.
Beer was cold on a hot day.
They have live music and we enjoyed that bonus.
All in all excellent bbq experience, please take the time to visit.
This is my first time here. I've heard nothing but great things about this place. I drove from the Clairemont are an took me about 20mins to get there. There was about a 20min wait for are table. There was alot of people there inside an outside area's. That have a bar inside the dining area an outside. They had a country band playing an customers dancing. Real fun vibe!!! OK NOW to the good part. The food was outstanding!! I had the brisket sandwich an my son the pull pork sandwich with fries. I made sure an took a 1/2 pound of brisket an pull pork an spare ribs for later. Great place to cost for sure
Our first attempt to eat here on a weekend afternoon back in October 2021 was unsuccessful because they were extremely busy, and the wait for a table was long--and we were ravenous so we went elsewhere. Now I get why they're busy. So, normally I tend to try a place's burger, but this was a Saturday and they only serve their burger on weekdays. I had a bowl of the chili verde. I do not say this lightly--this was the best chili I have ever had. They have achieved that alchemy of the whole being more than the sum of its parts. The cubes of meat were wonderfully tender. I don't claim to be an expert on chili, I just know what I like. If you're a chili aficionado, you must try it. I had the cheesy fries which were also tender, lightly seasoned, and not overwhelmed with a heavy coating of cheese. Too bad I live an hour away.
Fun BBQ place. If you like heavy rub, fall off the bone stuff and interesting sauces this is place for you. Try all the sauces. Nice staff. We were not a fan of the green beans so she took it off our bill.
