Food is good, one or tow stars better than an average TGI or chain. Price vs. quantity in food depends on appetite. Don not come hungry it's going to be quite a ticket. Overall is a solid 3 star. Can't go wrong can't be better. Do recommend if you want to get your BBQ craving. Believe this is the only BBQ ribs place in town.

I went to this location on Zona Rio, Sanchez Taboada, this past Sunday, March 15, 2026. I was very…read moredisappointed with the food and service. I ordered a fish & chips which they were way too salty and when they delivered them, I hardly saw the server. It was 12:20 noon time, very slow, I was the only table (there was another table but was already attended too). I mentioned to the server once I paid and all she said was, "I'll mentioned to the cook". Typical answer. Also, on the fries, I got a lot of little pieces, like from the end of the bag!

Mac and his crew showed up right on time, were incredibly professional, and came fully prepared with everything needed for catering. The food was fantastic and they kept the line moving smoothly all night. More people showed up than we had originally anticipated, and while I was getting nervous, Mac handled everything with total grace. He was prepared and made sure we were still able to feed everyone without any issues. I would highly recommend Hefty Boy BBQ Catering to anyone looking for a reliable and delicious caterer. And last but not least... the best pulled pork I have ever had. It literally melted in your mouth!

I believe they give you the option of coleslaw or fries if you get a combo. I'm glad this place exists in Mexico, though the food in Mexico is great, it's really a nice change up from your tacos, burritos, menudo and other traditional Mexican dishes. Love, love, love the seasonings used on the chicken. I must admit I'm addicted to the chicken! The owner John and his wife Doreena are awesome and very friendly which makes all the difference and you do look forward to coming back.

I liked some of the meats here, but others meats just weren't for me. We got a little bit of certain cuts of meat.. St. Louis cut ribs, tri-tip- brisket, and chorizo link, jalapeños cheddar link and their central Texas hot link. Mac and cheese and potato salad and coleslaw. My husband and I really enjoyed the brisket the sausage links, the potato salad and coleslaw. The tri-tip unfortunately was kinda dry and the ribs were a little tough. And the Mac and cheese were super garlicky. This bbq place is ok, it's nice and big and has a nice relaxing atmosphere. But I would stick to the brisket and hot links and the sides.

This family makes legit smoked meat!! I'm a bbq snob that always struggles to find great bbq and smoked meats in SD. Most of my family lives in Texas so we usually load up on brisket and ribs when we go. Now we don't have to go that far. Got the ribs today. Great smoke ring, terrific flavor, very juicy, and the bbq sauce is delicious and doesn't try to steal the show. He let me try the brisket too, and it is amazing. I'll get that next time. Potato salad is a great side. We will be coming back many times! Go out of your way to try their bbq. Outstanding!!!

Sausage was also very good. Juicy, a little bit of spice and smokey. Chicken was also very good. Bone-in chicken thighs with a good but not overwhelming char. Retained much if its moisture. Pulled pork was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad but overshadowed by the other phenomenal items. Sauce was good. Too full to eat the sides so I can't comment on that. Amazing food. Great value. Big fan.
