"One of LA’s finest barbecue joints started as a small pellet smoker into a bustling spot called Ray’s Texas BBQ. Texas-style barbecue fans have been loyal for years with lines maneuvering out the door. Though its founding chef Ray Ramirez died one year ago, his sons have since taken over operations. Not only is the brisket on point, but so is the burrito featuring some of that brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, and a layer of mac and cheese. Though takeout will help avoid the lines, it’s always best to enjoy each bite while piping hot on the cozy patio." - Eater Staff
