Absolutely excellent BBQ. We had burnt ends to start then I had avocado stuffed with brisket and my dining companion had ribs. I would thoroughly recommend the stuffed avocado. The watermelon salad with feta was a nice refreshing side.
Service was friendly and efficient.

Great food and awesome atmosphere. Came here with 16 guys and had a wonderful time. I had the brisket with beans and rice and most of my friends ordered the Jerk Chicken. That chicken is A LOT of meat, 1/2 a whole chicken. Ate around 5-6 right before La Placita gets busy. Highly recommend for some good barbecue food.

The wait staff welcomed us right away and were very friendly. The brisket is delicious. The sauce is delicate and not overly sweet. Cooked perfectly.

My husband and I were excited to eat here on the last night of our visit to PR, especially since they had vegan BBQ which is more rare to find. When we got there about 6:30pm (Saturday night), they were pretty busy - a huge long table of people had just left and the table had all the mess on it. Nobody greeted us at first, but we waited a few minutes and then they cleared a table for us. It was clear that they were short staffed as it looked like they only had 2 people running the whole floor and 1 of them was also a bartender - the one guy was running around like crazy.
Then we learned they were out of a bunch of stuff, including pulled chicken which my husband was going to get, vegan cheese and a few other things. It was surprising since it was early in the night. So he ordered the pulled pork in avocado, beans and rice, and I ordered the pulled jackfruit in avocado with vegan watermelon. We got the food fairly fast, but the watermelon had feta on it and the waitress never came back to check on us. The other waiter was able to help us out.
Overall, the food was good, but the service was a little disappointing (maybe it was on off night or someone called out), and note they don’t have A/C. It was nice to hear the live music from next door.
Note, we parked on the street and walked down - there is no parking lot. Check out via lactea down the street for vegan ice cream, delicious! Closes at 7pm so we ate dessert before dinner and split a flight of 4 flavors (pic attached).

Excellent customer service. Decent seating area but wish it was more. Good drinks and amazing food.
Ordered the following:
Brisket cheddar sandwich: 10/10
Brisket taco: 10/10
Baked beans: 10/10
Everything was incredibly juicy and well seasoned. Competing for best bbq I’ve ever had. Definitely get here!!!
