Rollin Smoke BBQ

Rollin Smoke BBQ - Review - East Cesar Chavez - Austin - The Infatuation

"You can (and should) show up to Rollin Smoke and get the classic staples—brisket, ribs, and sausage. But it’s when they start to experiment a little and introduce some low-and-slow smoke flavor into otherwise familiar dishes that we’ll consider making a detour, especially for the smoked carne guisada burritos and al pastor tacos. Rollin Smoke is located at Chalmers, a sports bar in East Austin. And the best part is that while most barbecue joints in Austin close up long before dinner, Rollin Smoke is open late, in case you want to soak up some drinks with a pile of brisket or just find yourself with a craving after dark. Food Rundown Brisket This is a classic Central Texas-style brisket in which the bark is thick, the meat is tender, and there’s plenty of smoke penetration. photo credit: Nicolai McCrary Al Pastor Tacos These are a Sunday special that you should order if you see (but double check on Instagram to confirm before you go). They’re tiny, but each one is packed full of marinated and smoked pork (cooked on a trompo), with melted cheese, pineapple, and salsa. Then the whole thing gets crisped up on a griddle. photo credit: Nicolai McCrary" - Nicolai McCrary
