    The menu and prices, current as of 02/27/2026
    Ricky R.

    While in town, I did some soft searching online for great places to eat in Del Rio, and Humo Prime Barbecue kept popping up. Not wanting a chain for dinner, I opted for something more Del Rio specific. I hopped in the car and took a little cruise. I pulled into the parking lot and had to double check my address. This place is tucked away inside a residential looking neighborhood, and fooled me at first. It resembled a house at first, so it threw me off. There were no cars in the very small parking lot. I parked and went right in. I walked into an empty restaurant with a cozy, no frills, table and chairs set up. Simple, yet welcoming. I bellied up to the counter and I was greeted promptly. The kind lady behind the counter asked if I had been there before, to which I answered no. I perused the simple menu on the wall. I had my heart set on brisket walking in, so that was the easy part of the equation. What side to pair with it, however, was a difficult choice. This is your typical meat by the pound place, but they also had plates and specials. $5 Texas twinkees were today's special. I opted for the $20 one meat and one side combo. I told the young lady all of their sides look delicious and was not sure which one I was going to pick. I asked for a recommendation, and she informed me the jalapeño cream corn and Tex Mex beans were her favorite, but they all were delicious. "Would you like to try the sides?" she asked with a big smile on her face. Yes.... Yes please. I tried all of the sides, but that did not help my decision. The jalapeño cream corn was amazing. Creamy, and the jalapeño had a nice taste, and no kick, perfect balance. The rice was a little spicy, but delicious. The beans were amazing. Green beans, delicious and not out of a can. The sides were all amazing. But the one I went with was the Mac & Cheese. Generally, I do not go for Mac & Cheese because the clumpy texture, and I am not a fan. However, this Mac & Cheese was very creamy and velvety, and the spiral pasta gave it a premium taste. Very delicious. Also, for good measure, I had them throw on a pork rib on the side to gauge it against brisket. I paid for my food and got it to go. Generally on to go orders, I do not tip, but this trip called for it. Especially after letting me sample the sides. That is not typical of barbecue joints. On the way out, they have a table with different sauces. I tried them all and I went with the regular sauce and the spicy sauce. I got back to my hotel room and went right to work. The brisket was amazing. It melted in my mouth and tasted amazing. I then ate the rib and it was fall off the bone tender. The Mac and Cheese was amazing, and I did not have one complaint. When my travels bring me back to Del Rio, you can bet Humo will be on my short list. I am very picky with barbecue and consider myself to be a snob when it comes to Texas barbecue, so for this place to make my short list impresses me. I would easily put this up against the big name barbecue places back home near San Antonio. Next time I will go for broke and get all the sides. Very delicious. Stop by if you are near here. You will be glad you did. Until next time.. Enjoy..

    Best BBQ we have ever had! Make sure to get there early they were sold out of a few things by the time we showed up, but everything we had was perfect!

    Left to right, top to bottom: burnt ends, beef sausage, ribs, brisket, Breen beans, coleslaw, pickles.

    So yum!!! This place must be new; we found it to be an excellent pit stop on our drive through town. The brisket jiggled. The rib meat bones fell out. The green beans were green. BBQ as it should be!!! The vinegar-based coleslaw was amazing. And the pickled onions. And the house-made pickles!! Actually everything was tasty. The service was great; we went it during the afternoon lull and he gave us samples of the sides and general details about the food. He really took pride in everything being freshly-made. Almost everything did have a little heat, but the flavors were well-balanced. Will definitely stop again if we come through Del Rio.

    Awesome food

    Ribs ribs ribs, we're so delicious, the chicken, beef ribs, the purple sauce, pork belly, briskets. The Mac and cheese. Don't forget the banana pudding! The cantaloupe juice was great too. Had a great experience. Recommend this place and go early! Great customer service. Owner even brought out pozole for me to try. Will return soon

    This place was great!! The food was absolutely phenomenal. The pork ribs were fall off the bone good & the sides were ALL amazing. The staff was super friendly & will even let you sample your sides before fully committing. Great overall price for the quality of food!

    Beef rib so flavorful juicy and tender!!! Highly recommend!

    Service was great. Food was delicious. We had moist brisket, beef rib, beans, potato salad and the Jalepeno cream corn. All delicious. Cream corn was flavorful and not just mush like most cream corns. Definitely the best bbq in Del Rio! We will be back.

    The sign at Humo and hours of operation.

    Stopped in at Humo BBQ on our way back to San Antonio. There aren't enough words to describe how excellent the food is at this traditional Texas style BBQ joint. Everything we tried including the Brisket and smoked Turkey was delicious. They had a myriad of BBQ sauces to choose from and even their pickles and marinated onion were full of flavor. Makes me wish I lived in Del Rio. Don't miss out on going there. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to make sure they were meeting everyone's needs. Very comfortable and welcoming environment.

    Humo BBQ is where diets come to die and happiness comes to live. The meats are delicious & the sides are heavenly! You're missing out!

    Ate here for the first time ever. Ok, I really want this…read moreplace to be successful. I love family run businesses especially restaurants. So this is my honest opinion hoping you don't get offended. The fries are horrible. Honestly, worst fries I've ever had in my life. They were hot and soggy. No snap or crips whatsoever. To make matters worse, they were served smashed onto the chicken. The fries need a complete overhaul and if folks are telling you they are amazing, they are lying to you. This smashing down these soggy fries into your chicken is the worst possible way to serve them. Onto the chicken, I know you say you have your own special seasoning in the flour. I tasted nothing but flour, lots & lots of salt, & water. You really need to add more seasoning to this batter and bring more flavors into this chicken. I would also recommend having a beef talo options as I feel this would greatly improve on your chicken. I would also recommend yall stop using the "ready in 30 minutes" line. It seems everyone is having this issue including myself. Was told 30 minutes and waited for 55. Again, want to see this place succeed and grow, but the hype I read on line does not even come close to the reality of the food here.

    I rated this a two because the food was alright the fries were not very good they were oily and not…read morecrispy why so ever there was no salt no other seasoning do not recommend the fries. The tenders were alright I only say that because I think they cook there tenders in the same oil they cook there fish so it has this fishy taste but overall not much flavor. Service was fine you could kind of compare it to a food truck. The ambiance was nice it reminded me of like and old school lunch place.
