Tex + Mex + ’Cue: 4 Texas Spots Combining the Best of Both Worlds | Bon Appétit

"Located in a small gray building near Mission San Jose and Mission Concepcion, this recently opened shop uses a ten-foot oak-filled pit supplemented with mesquite and pecan wood to produce a tender brisket with a pronounced bark, pulled pork, and peppery chicken quarters. Sides lean into South Texas flavors—borracho beans, Spanish rice, and a creamier, elote-inspired creamed corn finished with Cotija and cayenne—as well as smoked jalapeños, beet-soaked pickled red onions with oregano, and pit-grilled green onions. The compact, flavor-forward menu has attracted early fans who often order a bit of everything." - ByJess Elizarraras
