This morning, we got up in time to get to La Barbecue before it opened (~10:30am).

Here’s the menu in front.

We made it to the first part of the line and waited until it opened at 11. It was nice to be able to wait indoors where they were running the A/C. They also served drinks before the meat counter opened.

When we got to the counter, we ordered a beef rib, sausage, and brisket.

We also got their beans, pickles, and jalapeno slaw. They also threw in a couple slices of white bread.

Jesse had been looking forward to this trip in hopes of tasting a really good brisket and he was not disappointed.

Look at that smoke ring! It was tender and had a nice bark.

Here’s the beef rib. It was HUGE and equally delicious.

This was my perfect bite: white bread, a little bit of tangy sauce, and some of the beef rib with bark. Yum.
