Description

Deep-smoked mesquite barbacoa and classic Texas barbecue take center stage at this beloved local spot. Tender, well-seasoned brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, sweet pork-belly burnt ends, and juicy carnitas tacos shine alongside generous three-meat plates, rotating specials, and comforting sides like mac & cheese, fideo, and potato salad. Fresh tortillas, salsas, friendly service, and family-friendly breakfast options make it a popular Sunday destination—worth the drive for BBQ lovers.

I ordered the three-meat plate, where you can select your choice of meats. I chose turkey, pork ribs, and brisket. You also get to pick two sides; I went with mac and cheese and fideo. They provided BBQ sauce, but it wasn't necessary since the meat had a fantastic smoky flavor. The service was very friendly, and the food was delicious. I will definitely order from here again!

This truly showcases the BBQ of the valley. The burnt ends of the pork belly are like sweet, melt-in-your-mouth meat candy. The carnitas tacos are juicy and topped just the way I enjoy them. And then there’s the brisket—perfectly seasoned and beautifully stacked on a toasted bun. Josh, you've done it again, my friend!

The BBQ was the best I've had south of the Hill Country. I got the 3 meat plate with moist brisket [amazing flavor and was falling apart with the tenderness], turkey [flavorful and moist], and pork ribs [fell off the bone clean] with a side of macaroni and potato salad which were also amazing. My only disappointment was that I wasn't told even the smells would be delicious and I had to pull over into a random parking lot to eat because I couldn't resist the smell.

Very good. Barbacoa is great.

Definitely the best local spot to get mesquite smoked barbacoa. One of the more noticeable aspects of the barbacoa, besides the smokey flavor, is the expertly trimmed cut of beef cheeks. The beef cheeks have a high fat content but I never get those nasty clumps of non-rendered fat. The traditional barbecue is excellent as well, with the team creating a variety of dishes for those wanting a bit more flair than the Texas Trinity. The menu changes so following T-Ghost on social media will help you keep an eye on the latest offerings. Good folks, good eats, and definitely a spot folks should visit.
