Came for the barbacoa left with the last of it and some brisket, pinto beans and yummy food for another meal. I'd for sure be selling the barbacoa during the week but that's just my opinion. This was always my favorite from the Rio Grande tacos. Bris... ket was good, little dry plenty of salt but I'm a different cat on Brisket. No bread or pickles for me, just some BBQ sauce and I'm good. Just forgot to check my order before leaving and missed out on the diced onions and chopped cilantro on the barbacoa tacos but that's ok. The salsa made up for the cilantro flavor and the beans are on point! People from other states don't know how to make beans and just need to try those to know, they are really good beans! Read more

Their tamales are made with pork and beef. They have great flavor and are filled with meat not skimpy. The BBQ is also very good and tasty! The employees are also very nice and helpful. They are on certain days and times. I suggest calling ahead of t... ime if you want tamales cause they go fast! This is a take out place only. Read more

We had brisket, sausage, Spanish rice, Mac and cheese and baked potato. Everything was excellent but the Mac and cheese, it was just average. If we come back to Galveston we will for sure be stopping back!
