Loving the freshness and great tasting south Texas flavors. Our new favorite spot! #Htown
We made our first visit yesterday and my family loved it! Everything was delicious! My favorites were the brisket & sausage. Definitely earns the title for best brisket in town! And huge serving sizes so you get great value and worth every penny. The owner was so kind and welcoming. Definitely recommend! 😋
My first time going a 10/10 super delicious great service great food the plate was real loaded

El Vela's BBQ is a popular local restaurant that offers exceptional barbecue dishes. Customers consistently praise the delicious brisket sandwiches, with many stating that the brisket is among the best they have ever had. The perfectly cooked meat and impressive portions of ribs, sausage, chicken, and brisket have left diners satisfied. The potato salad, rice, pickles, and salsa are also highly regarded. The loaded potato, enhanced with pico de gallo and avocado sauce, adds to the menu's appeal. The humble couple running the restaurant provides excellent customer service, making the overall dining experience at El Vela's BBQ highly enjoyable. Diners are eager to return, appreciating the amazing food and the warm atmosphere.
The restaurant serves a variety of meat combinations, like the three-meat combo for $26, which customers find a bit expensive but worth the price. The ribs and brisket are praised as really good, though some find the brisket a little greasy. The rice has good flavor, while the potato salad is so-so. Customers suggest adding more barbecue sauce to the servings. The restaurant accepts all payment methods, and the service is fast and the plates well-served. The owner is described as super nice, taking the time to answer questions and providing a welcoming experience. Customers highly recommend the restaurant for its delicious food and great value.
