El Tejano

Recoleta & Barrio Norte


Missing Texas-style barbecue from back home? Here’s the place to scratch that itch. Texan Larry Rogers grills up the city’s best beef and pork ribs, along with smoked brisket, pulled pork and chicken wings. The offerings may change by the day, but you can always expect amazingly tender and delicious meats.
