Very friendly staff and really great barbecue! The sides were really delicious and tasty, the burnt ends and turkey were also very good! The brisket was a little bland, but they had a nice Smoky barbecue sauce to go with it.

The staff were extra friendly!! I had a lot of questions and they were more than happy to answer them!Be prepared for a 15ish minutes wait for the line alone if you visit during peak times. It wasn't a problem to me though.Unfortunately, we were not huge fans when it came to the food. The brisket is average, it's not bad though, it was tender but I did not taste much seasoning which was a bummer. The turkey had no flavor at all. The Mexican rice was not my favorite, it tasted a bit bland. The elote was watery but it had a good flavor. On the hand, the mac and cheese was the star of the show. It had a unique flavor!

Me and my bf are visiting Texas for the first time and this made our experience. Line was out the door which was a good sign. The food and customer service was amazing.We got the El Jefe. I enjoyed the pulled pork and tacos. My bf enjoyed the burnt ends and brisket! 10/10 would recommend!

We've heard a lot about this place and we finally got to visit on a Sunday night. It was a school night, so it wasn't too packed because you can sit outside or at Hayter's bar next door.We ordered El Patron w/ Street Corn, Potato Salad, and Creamy Red Slaw, 1/2 lb of Prime Brisket, and Half Chicken. Really great BBQ and sides! We had 8 people (4 adults and 4 kids) and still took a bunch of meat home. This is Tex-Mex style BBQ which did not disappoint. The meat was tender and tasty even without the sauce. The sides were interesting because they were different than other BBQ places, but tasted good. They even had tacos for sides.The staff were all really nice. Very helpful and accommodating.The only downside is that they're tucked away at the back of a street. It would be easy to miss without GPS.

Very good BBQ. Ribs & Brisket were on point. Burnt Ends were delicious, but fattier than normal. The Brisket Beans are awesome with the cilantro in them. Raven took very good care of everyone. Will definitely return when I'm in the area
