They actually serve West Texas barbecue, El Paso style. Thick beef ribs with pickles and white bread. No, it’s not as good as El Paso’s best, but it is good enough to scratch the itch. Genuinely good, surprisingly good I would say. Get the beef ribs. And the brussels sprouts. Don’t treat this as a perfect, all-purpose barbecue restaurant, but still it is worth having in the repertoire. Not cheap at $26 for a serving of ribs, but worth it every now and then.
