I visited with high expectations, particularly for the brisket. While the food didn’t quite meet my expectations, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the live music added a wonderful touch to the experience.

BBQ was great. Sauces were very good. Cole slaw and Brussel sprouts were very tasty. Corn bread could be improved.

My favorite dinner is barbecued pork ribs and baked beans from Capelo's. I've been to St. Louis and other so-called barbecue restaurants in the Bay Area, but none compete with the ribs that Castro and the boys offer on a daily basis. I don't know how they do it, but for me, the meat tells the story and one doesn't need either of the several sauces they provide. Their online ordering is straight-forward, their prices are excellent, and I have been the beneficiary of party ordering from offspring in Arizona. And by the way, parking is rarely an issue !

This is the most AUTHENTIC Texas BBQ I have seen here in California. Absolutely so here in the Bay. You can't go wrong.

Very honest and basic provider. Wood fired BBQ with no twists and turns. Sides basic and compliment the entrées perfectly. Portions are beyond generous. The 'order and pay at counter, get drinks and sit' delicatessen paradigm works well, which is probably why the value for money is gratifying. The venue is somewhat primitive, but appropriate. Unfortunately, the experience is somewhat degraded by rather loud, pervasive, and somewhat inappropriate music. At our latest visit it was difficult to carry on a rather rudimentary conversation. This is particularly aggravating to those of us with hearing assistance devices who tend to perceive this background as distortion components.

Best barbecue, this side of the Bay Area! Very relaxed, casual dining, like you were at a friend’s place; and it’s a party in the garage. The food is flavorful, and all the meats are tender and well-seasoned. I usually get the three-meat sampler, the brisket, pulled pork, and the jalapeño cheddar sausage. With an order of the 1-meat, 2-meat, or 3-meat samplers, you get two sides; my wife and I usually get the cilantro peanut slaw, with either baked beans, or mac & cheese. The barbecue sauces range from sweet mustard, to really spicy; enough to cater to everyone’s liking. You can also get dill pickles, pickled onions and jalapeños to accompany your meal. Fountain drinks, and an array of beers are available to complement the food. There’s always a party vibe when we visit Capelo’s. They have widescreen TVs where you can watch games as well. There’s a limited number of parking slots in their compound, and street parking nearby. So if you’re looking for some fun and drinks, great food, come bring your family, or meet up here with friends to watch a game or something. The staff is friendly, and efficient, and they will make sure you’re having a great time, whenever you come to Capelo’s!
His face says it all... Superb. We've been coming once per month for a year now...Food 10/10... Service 10/10. Playing with Gucci 10/10. Huge shoutout to Capellos team, from grabbing a few beers to watch the game to proper Sunday bbq, this is THE PLACE in Redwood City

Way too expensive for how unsatisfying the food was. Everything was pink and/or fat , none of the meat fell off the bone. Very disappointing I just spent my money on that. Baked beans were good though.
