Authentic Uyghur BBQ with flavorful lamb, beef, & chicken skewers
"If you’re bad with directions, just follow the savory smell of grilled meats wafting from the charcoal grills at Camino Alamo BBQ, a small food-trailer operation on The Drag near UT that specializes in Uyghur-style Xinjiang kabobs. There are three options for grilled skewers—lamb, beef, and chicken wings—that all get marinated in a mixture of cumin, salt, pepper, and Sichuan peppercorn before cooking over a tiny charcoal grill attached to the front of the trailer. It feels a little like a scrappy pop-up—and at one point it was—but it’s also a testament to how great the simple combination of fire and meat can really be. " - nicolai mccrary
"You’ll probably catch the savory smell of grilled meats wafting from the charcoal grills before you even see them at Camino Alamo BBQ, a small food trailer operation on The Drag. The specialty here is Uyghur-style Xinjiang kabobs. There are three options for grilled skewers—lamb, beef, and chicken wings—that all get marinated in a mixture of cumin, salt, pepper, and Sichuan peppercorn, then dusted with chili powder as they sizzle and smoke over hot coals to a charred, but tender finish. Whatever route you decide to go, you’ll have to battle a line of hungry UT students to do it. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

Food arrives on metal skewers over metal trays, but you can fancy up the whole experience with a side of lamb pilaf or some grilled pineapple. It’s a one-man operation so just be warned that food can take a little while if there’s a line. " - Nicolai McCrary
