The food was absolutely amazing. I visited on a Wednesday at around 7:30 PM, and the service from the lady at the bar was excellent. It's a great place to watch a game while enjoying delicious food and a great atmosphere. The only downside is the parking lot, which can be a bit challenging. Other than that, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. read more

I went to the Anaheim Packing house and this place stood out because I noticed they actually do use wood smoke to make their meats. I ordered a wagyu quesabirria, a prime burnt ends taco, a prime brisket taco, and a BBQ platter to try the other options. I'm glad there are no "special sauses" that have mayo included in them because for people that are allergic to eggs, that's really dangerous. Most places don't disclose this information. Anyways, the meat was delicious. Personal preference, I don't like the sweet bbq sause that came with the prime burnt ends taco because the combination with cilantro, onion, lime and salsa did not go well. Although, I can see other people liking it. The reason this place caught my attention was for the uniqueness of the type of meat combined with mexican style tacos. I would definitely try this place again on another visit. I would recommend that some of these tacos need to come with a little bit of guac to eleveate the mexican flavor. I also feel the salsas could be better. A great salsa combined with these great tacos would take them to another level. Out of all the options, the prime brisket tacos were the ones with the highest potential to be even better with a great salsa and some guac. I highly recommend this place if you're in town because people are nice and friendly and the meat is thoughtfully done well. read more

Hidden gem at the Anaheim Packing District! The bar is definitely the place to be. Happy hour was fantastic, with great drinks and an awesome atmosphere. Chris, our bartender, was incredibly attentive, friendly, and brought such a fun vibe to the experience. I had the tacos and the crispy tripas were absolutely delicious, perfectly crunchy and packed with flavor. As for the drinks, I devoured the guava margaritas. They were so refreshing and dangerously good! Great food, amazing cocktails, and outstanding service. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place absolutely blew me away! It was my very first time at the packing house. When I was looking at the menu this place stood out to me the most even tho have some amazing food places. I got the BBQ Brisket Burger and when I tell you this thing was juicy and humungous! I'm not lying, check the photo lol. This thing comes with curly fries and the curly fries are also on point. The service was great. Inside the restaurant itself is pretty small, you're better off find outside seating or all throughout the packing hous Of course definitely gotta go back to try other things. And to top it off this place has toothpicks so they automatically get 5/5 from me read more

This place is located at the packing house right next to hans. They have a small inside seating area & a bar area outside as well but that doesnt open until 5pm. Service was great.

The bbq brisket fries were a bit pricey but they were good 9/10. I saw these in a tik tok video that went viral. The bqq plate was also good shiii I left happy lol everything was fire & they were playing bangers the whole time I was there. make sure to get some of the red bbq sauce read more

This place is located inside the Anaheim Packing House. I ordered a Barbecue Platter with Brisket and Chicken with a side of Mac n cheese and Elote. The meat was tender and seasoned well.

I decided to walk around the Anaheim packing district before my reservation at, En Familia. And then I ended up canceling and trying a little bit of everything from all the places in here. And thats how I ran into, Encultura. Without knowing that it is the sister restaurant of, En familia. Where do I start? First off, the place smells amazing. You can smell it all the way down the hall. The service that Sergio and Ricky provided was a solid 10/10 The place is Halal certified And it is the perfect fusion of Mexican-inspired barbecue. (The BBQ is Texas style) They have a few tables inside and outdoor seating. It's located all the way at the end of Anaheim packing district. They also have a bar outside. If you can't find it, just come inside and ask them for Directions to it. (They have a sign inside pointing to where it's located) They have a really big variety, and it's so hard to pick what to eat here. After help from the lovely staff, Sergio and Ricky gave some recommendations. (I can't stress how nice and helpful they are) -The bbq empanadas were definitely coming home with me. I ended up getting them to Go. And then to dine in -the California brisket burrito (huge portion) The food was absolutely amazing. I wish I would of tried more of their regular BBQ dishes and I'd love to come back for their burger They have a section on their menu of - bowls Tacos Burritos Bbq Bbq platters A variety of sides Mocktails Cocktails (their bar is located outside) Burgers sandwiches Appetizers A create your own area of the menu And seafood options They have all their BBQ cooking in house Their sauces are all made fresh I ended up getting ice cream from a vendor across from this restaurant. I asked them if it was ok that I sat there and ate it since I wasn't feeling that well (I came here not too long after a procedure) and the staff was extremely kind about it and allowed me to sit there and finish my ice cream. They even checked on me a couple times asking if I was ok Parking is easy Staff is friendly (Sergio and Ricky) Portions are large Halal Everything tastes extremely fresh The sauces were amazing If you love BBQ, Mexican food or you're a fan of fusion, you'll absolutely love this place and you need to add it to your list ASAP read more

This place was amazing. We ordered inside and had no idea there was a bar + full service outside. The bartender, Chris, gave us excellence service and hospitality with his drink recommendations, hilarious conversations, and ultimately an excellent show with the killer drinks. It's difficult to find as the bar is on the exterior and not intuitive if you order food from inside, that's my only recommendation to the business to help drive guests outside. Food was excellent, Texas style BBQ with a SoCal/Mexican flair/flavor profile all paired great with the crafted cocktails that Chris provided. My wife had 2 of the house pina colada served in the copper pineapples. Will be back again and again for sure! read more

Encultura - Al Pastor Shrimp, Empanadas, Burnt Ends Tacos, Esquites - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Anaheim, California

Nice to have this outside of Packing District. Music was very loud, Lakers and Dodgers game was on during happy hour. We order 1/2 off tacos range from $6-10 a taco which was very pricey for what you received. Ordered Prime brisket tacos -tender Smoked chicken -overcooked lack of seasoning Burnt ends -tasted a few days old and very dry Wagyu Loaded nachos -basic nothing pleasing Smoked chicken quesadilla -same chicken as the tacos , very dry and flavor lacking Drinks We had our first round of Margs and beer come out within minutes, then the bar got busy with just one bartender , she admitted she forgot to submit our order after 15-20mins. It was about a 1/2 hour wait in between. Hopefully she gets more help in the future. We asked for tripas tacos but they were sold out at 5pm shocking... the owners were sitting across the bar, noticed that one of them went straight to the grill grabbed some meat and eat it as we were waiting for our food and drinks to come.. shocking that they would display that. Prob the biggest let down for a cinco de mayo celebration in a while read more

Encultura - $5 Tuesday margaritas - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Anaheim, California

I recently tried En Cultura BBQ at the Anaheim Packing District and I'm still dreaming about the food. The seating inside the restaurant is limited but there is plenty of seating inside the building. The service was quick, the staff is super knowledgeable. I ordered the elote riblets and the smoked Wagyu birria burger, and wow.... the burger was fire. The brisket was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, topped with Oaxaca cheese, onions, and cilantro on a soft brioche bun. It also came with curly fries that were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The elote riblets were just as impressive. They were seasoned with crema de coco, tamari, lime, and a mild chile that added great flavor without any real heat. Super tasty and something different from your typical BBQ. My sister ordered the brisket fries, and those definitely didn't disappoint either, they were loaded with brisket, beans, and chipotle crema. Every bite was rich and satisfying. If you're at the Packing District, this spot is a must-try. Everything we had was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be back! read more

Encultura *April 10th, 2026 *6pm- Friday *2 Stars Environment: *Inside Anaheim Packing District *Moderate Service *Moderate Parking Lot Food/Drink: *Smoked Wagyu Birria Bowl *Prime Brisket Bowl My sister and I decided to stop by Encultura while walking through the Anaheim Packing District because the smell and pictures of the food looked really good, which made us excited to try it. Unfortunately, the food ended up being a bit disappointing overall. We ordered two medium bowls, which came to be a little over $40, and for the portion size, it felt a bit overpriced. The smoked wagyu was tender and had good flavor, but the rice was very dry, with some parts even seeming undercooked, which really affected the dish. The prime brisket bowl was even heavier than expected, with noticeable puddles of oil sitting in the bowl. It made the meal feel overly greasy and hard to finish. That said, the staff was very nice and accommodating, especially when we asked to have certain toppings placed on the side, which we appreciated. Overall, while the service was positive, the food didn't quite meet expectations. read more

You should definitely come and try the Burnt end tacos. So freaking good and worth the $9 price tag. I would add some guacamole for them to be perfect. This place itself is a little hard to find on the side of the packing house but gives it more of a locals only vibe. Will definitely be back as they were advertising taco Tuesday specials and the bbq platters sound amazing read more

Encultura - Burnt end and brisket taco - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Anaheim, California

A Mexican/BBQ fusion counter service restaurant in the Anaheim Packing House. Visited on a Thursday evening, and the line wasn't long, but tons of orders were being made, so they might have a online take-out system available. Like a classic BBQ restaurant, you were able to create your own plate by ordering meats by the 1/4 pound. I typically don't got for chicken at BBQ spots, preferring the smoked red meats, but the chicken on this menu was listed as "brushed with mole; service with more for dipping," and I am a huge fan of mole! I ordered the chicken breast, brisket, and side of corn equite. As I mentioned, tons of orders were being picked up, so it did a significant amount of time for our food to be ready. My food came out 10+ minutes after my friend's who ordered more and directly before me. When looking my order, I noticed instead of a chicken breast, I got a cup of chopped chicken with no mole. I brought it back to the counter asking for additional mole for dipping (like stated on the menu), and was told they were out of mole for the day. Such a bummer because I would've chosen another meat option if I had known this would be the case! The brisket and corn were good, overall my favorite meat was the wagyu birria. read more

We recently tried Encultura and had a mixed experience overall. The location inside the Anaheim Packing District is always a plus, with a fun atmosphere and plenty of seating. I believe they also have a separate sit-down restaurant, which could offer a different experience. Unfortunately, the service wasn't the strongest part of our visit. The staff didn't seem very eager to take our order, and we found ourselves waiting at the counter longer than expected. As for the food, the meats were cooked really well and the sauces added great flavor that elevated the barbecue. I also appreciated the Latin-inspired twist on traditional BBQ flavors. However, the mac and cheese was disappointing and lacked the flavor we were hoping for. The biggest drawback was the price. While the meal was good, the platter was quite expensive, and when weighing the overall experience against the cost, it didn't leave me excited to come back for the same meal again. I'm glad we tried it and enjoyed parts of it, but the value just wasn't quite there for me. read more

Walk up to the counter and order. Nachos. 9/10. Chips were fresh and it was fully loaded. They did not skimp on the toppings. Very tasty. Plenty of cheese and guacamole. Prime brisket taco. 9/10. Lots of flavor. Tons of meat. Birria taco. 7/10. A bit dry. Especially when compared to the brisket. Great option for dinner. read more

This place is located in the Anaheim Packing District. Parking is definitely a challenge but they do offer valet parking thus eliminating the parking challenges. The Anaheim Packing District is about 42,000 square feet and houses several different restaurants, bakeries and bars..it's a gourmet food hall. On Sunday, April 19, 2025, we decided to try Encultura (a bbq restaurant). EnCultura BBQ is a popular barbecue restaurant in the Anaheim Packing District known for its Texas-style BBQ with a Mexican twist, serving smoked meats like brisket, tri-tip, and wagyu, alongside unique items like smoked birria burgers and loaded fries, with a separate bar and halal options available. It's praised for its flavorful, slow-smoked meats. Here's what we ordered: 1. Elote Riblets for $12, featuring a distinct Mexican-inspired profile with crema de coco, tamari, lime, and chili morita. These charred corn ribs are a blend of savory, tangy, and spicy flavors. These are really good. Corn is nicely charred and sweet. 2. BBQ BRISKET PAPAS FRITAS! Crispy curly fries topped with smoky brisket, cilantro, onion, pickled jalapenos, chipotle crema and crumbled queso cotija on top. The brisket was amazing! Extremely tender and very flavorful. What I didn't care for were the curly fries, this dished would be so much better with regular crinkle cut fries or steak fries. Additionally, some melted creamy cheese would have made this more creamy and not as dry. I would only reorder if I had a different fry option. But if curly fries is your jam, then you will love this. 3. Chile-lime Tripas taco. The tripas were crispy and very flavorful. It was a standard Mexican taco. 4. Brisket taco. Again, their brisket is off the hook delicious and tender. Both tacos were good and would order again. 5. Smoked Wagyu Birria burger. Burger was freaking delicious and would definitely order again. It came with curly fries. The order prepping did take a bit but we weren't in a hurry so waiting wasn't a big issue. Overall, the food was good but a bit pricey. Since we ordered at the counter, I felt our service was rushed and menu board really didn't detail each item. I would have benefited from this bc had I known the fries were curly, I would have selected another item. Guy working register was friendly enough but I felt rushed. I'm not rating the ambiance since I used the walk-up counter. read more

Wowww!! What a great place! Our mommy group decided to try out this little place in anaheim packing district before we pick up the kids from school...and what a pleasant place. We sat outdoors, got a friendly waitress helping us out and answering all our questions. We happened to be there on their first world cup watch party event ! It was a hot day, but they were ready with fans blowing air throughout the place in a gentle natural way. YES! All the meat/chicken they carry is HALAL. I think we tried and shared all the dishes they had for their game day food special lol and they were all great. I think my favorite was the brisket plate...yum that mac and cheese...mmm. My mocktail of choice was the blackberry mule which the barista recommended and I enjoyed. The chef stopped by and shared more helpful info about his food and his other Halal businesses- for sure coming for another visit, bringing in the family next time! read more

Encultura - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Anaheim, California

Now, I understand that I'm eating here on Cinco De Mayo... but you would think the restaurant would staff more? I understand stuff happens. I'm sure the staff is doing their best with what they have, and I commend them. But again, it's suppose to be a busy day, should be better prepared for the situation? Sat at the bar area around 8pm. Was busy but luckily got bar seating. Wanted to take advantage of happy hour pricing (Tuesday). So ordered 6 tacos (birria, burnt ends, & brisket), 6 wings & corn. Bartender took our order, didn't write down our order, but had to double check back with us to confirm our order. When food came out, our order was wrong. Got one birria taco & our corn never came out. Tacos were sadly cold. Not ice cold, but cold. Given you're eating at a restaurant you want your food nice & hot. I have to say brisket & burnt ends were really good, and I just wish they were hot because it probably would've made them 10x better. Wings were exceptional! Enjoy them, they came out hot, so those were fine. Can't comment on the corn, because it didn't arrive. When the bill came out, and was as correct on what we received, which made it a little more disappointing because we did clarify exactly what we wanted (short 1 taco & no corn). If you go, highly recommend happy hour pricing (Monday - Thursday I believe), seems like it can get pricey at regular price. Overall, I want to like this place. But the cold food made it very disappointing. Might give it a try on a non-holiday Tuesday. read more

Encultura - Tacos. Birria, burnt ends, brisket. - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Anaheim, California

I feel like I've been on a dry spell when it comes to biting into something that makes me go wow at first bite (not counting my usual favorite go-tos). Encultura finally ended said dry spell with a delicious brisket and burnt end tacos. Honestly at first I just wanted a quick bite since I literally had not eaten all day and it was already around 7 PM by the time I ordered. I had zero expectations and upon taking my first bite, I knew I had to order more. It was seriously that good. In fact, I ate half the taco in one bite and saved the other half for my friend. Let me tell you something. Fighting the urge to not scarf down that other half took immense self-control. Once she took a bite I knew we were both on the same page. We ordered another brisket taco and a burnt ends taco this time around. Personally I like the brisket just a little bit more if I HAD to choose, but both were absolutely phenomenal. And these tacos are LOADED. Sure, they're a bit pricey but the amount of meat you get with each one and the flavors make it easily worth it in my book. The pitmaster who I'm assuming might be the owner, showed me the beast of a smoker they have. As a side note I had a discussion about charcoal with some friends earlier that week at a friend's house and then I was given a brief tour of Encultura's smoker set up and I really feel like I'm truly getting in touch with being a man in this 30s. Anyway, aside from the food I LOVE the space outside. It's a perfect spot for daydrinking but also a really nice spot for a date as well. I seriously cannot wait to come back. I want to do the burnt ends with rice next time around, but definitely some more tacos too! read more

Went here last night for dinner! The food wasn't the best at all and the drinks took forever. Definitely wouldn't come here again

So, this restaurant is on the second floor, and let's just say getting there is half the adventure, especially on weekends when parking is a circus. The area was buzzing with life, there was live music going on outside (not at the restaurant) but the food was sadly a letdown. Everything was so greasy and deep fried that I felt like I needed a gym membership just to survive the meal. Honestly, the taste was off, and I left feeling like my body was staging a protest. The staff was friendly, no complaints there, but waiting nearly 20 minutes for a burger and fries felt like an eternity. Even the loaded fries with asada were swimming in oil, as if they were taking a deep dive in a frying pool. I chose this place because of its glowing Yelp reviews, but I left wondering if the reviewers had different taste buds. The vibe was fine, the staff was nice, but the price had me feeling like I paid for a burger in a VIP restaurant. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately it was a disappointment. The prices are high, so I expected quality barbecue, but the food just didn't deliver. The portions were surprisingly small, even when paying by the pound, which made the meal feel even more overpriced. The brisket was overcooked, dry, and difficult to eat. It was also sliced with the grain instead of against it, making it much tougher than it should have been. For a barbecue restaurant, that's a fundamental mistake. Overall, the food lacked flavor, and nothing stood out enough to justify the cost. I don't mind paying premium prices for great BBQ, but this wasn't it. Unfortunately, this was not worth the money, and I won't be returning. read more

pretty disappointed with my experience here. we ordered: - 2 brisket tacos - 2 burnt ends tacos - 2 birria tacos - chile verde wings - esquites we were missing one birria taco and never got the esquites. our server didn't write down our order, came back after a minute to confirm our order, and still didn't input it correctly. i understand that its cinco de mayo and the kitchen/staff may be backed up, but i think the restaurant should make the appropriate adjustments to ensure customers get the right experience... overall, service was okay all the tacos came out cold (as if they were sitting for ~5 minutes). birria was dry. brisket was decent. burnt ends definitely had the most flavor out of the three we ordered. chile verde wings were our favorite out of everything we received. we came on a tuesday, so LUCKILY we got happy hour pricing and 50% off tacos. if you give this place a try, i'd recommend coming during happy hour/taco tuesday. pricing is definitely too much for what you actually get the concept of fusion barbecue was what interested us the most. unfortunately, the execution was lacking in multiple areas read more

Encultura - Birria bowl - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Anaheim, California

recently tried this place as I live 1 block away from the Packing House and regularly visit. Unfortunately, was very disappointed. I tried the Prime Brisket tacos and the Burnt ends tacos. I was disappointed in both. The problem was the meat was not cooked recently. I could tell that the meat I got was cooked probably the day before then just reheated for my tacos. The meat was dry inside and out. Dry and rather stiff. The prices were high and I don't mind paying high prices for quality BBQ as it's worth it. But I spent $40 on 4 tacos that I expected to be premium and well received yesterday's reheated leftovers. I'm sure that these good reviews here are the lucky customers that receive recently cooked meals. As for me, I don't plan on ever going back as I don't want to take the risk of getting yesterday's leftovers. I would say the staff was friendly and my order was ready at a reasonable time. read more

This was such a confusing experience that I don't know how to feel. First of all. The people here are SUPER nice. The first time I came the chef personally came out and walked us through the menu. The second time, we sat outside again, and it wasn't super busy, but the service SUCKED. They weren't mean or rude, they just SUCKED. Didn't get greeted by anyone. There were only 2 bartenders covering the outside area. They told us we could sit anywhere, so we sat and we waited...and waited. 15min later I flag someone down to FINALLY give our menus. Cool. Ordered a single appetizer (corn riblet), picanha, burnt ends, and tri tip. Riblets come. Last time they were BOMB. This time they were alright, but more importantly they were cold. Actually worse then that was the fact they brought it without any plates, utensils, or napkins. He said he'd bring them right away. Never came back until the main course arrived. We ate the riblets messy with it dripping all over the table and then got our own napkins and cleaned up the mess. Food finally comes, thankfully with plates. We ordered fries as well. Everything was cold. BUT, it was tasty. Like come on. Clearly they forgot to bring the food out and it stayed sitting and got cold. We grab the attention of our server and tell him that hey, we get it's just you two here, but like we aren't even getting bare minimum service, and also the fries are cold. He lets out the BIGGEST sigh and says "I'm sorry, it wasn't anything personal, I have other tables". And we politely explained that we understand, and we get it's not personal, but come on man. This dude gives another massive sigh, looks like he's about to cry and just repeats himself, "it wasn't personal". I'm like ok, no worries, can you bring some fresh fries please. He said ok. I didn't have the heart to tell him all the meat he brought out was also cold. We were hungry, I brought my dad out for his birthday, too tired to make a scene. Server comes back as I'm wishing my dad happy birthday and he asks how everything was. We told him the food tasted great, but it was cold, but it was tasty! He looked SO annoyed, apologized and left. As we leave, he brings the bill, wishes my dad happy birthday and tells us "I comped your single soda". I was like oh, ok, thank you, and then he left. Like damn, thanks for the $3 lol. Anywho, message to the owners, please train your bartenders on how to be better servers or better yet, hire some actual servers. read more

Located in the Anaheim Packing District with very limited parking. Friend recommended to try this place out so we went on Sunday. Got the chili verde and buffalo wings with a side of fries. Chili verde wings were yummy and very flavorful. Honestly the buffalo flavor did not taste like buffalo at all, just tasted like bbq we also ordered corn esquite but it never came... Supposedly the kitchen forgot lol but we were full anyways from the rest of the food so we cancelled the order of corn. prime brisket was yummy, moist, and soft but obviously not as tender as Texas bbq haha the burnt ends were the highlight and came recommended from the waiter. Good choice! Id definitely come back for the burnt ends and maybe try some other dishes too. read more
