    For me there has been this void in the Coachella Valley for good Texas Style barbecue that never made sense to me. But Just Smoke BBQ now filled that emptiness for me and filled my belly with TONs of delicious meats. The brisket shines with how simple it is. Salt, Pepper, Smoke letting the beef speak for itself. The complexity in simplicity always amazes me with brisket. The pork belly burnt ends are literally pieces of meat candy that melts into your mouth. The highlight for me. Oh but the habanero barbecue sauce also hits hard. This is the second sauce this week that I can just drink. It's slightly spicy but the perfect amount that balances with the rib glaze or the fattiness of the brisket. I only got one side because the pure volume of meat I got and I think I picked the winner. The smoked Mac and cheese. It's worth the Lacoste intolerance. I have a drive ahead of me so I had to stop but otherwise I would fully embrace the pain for that Mac. It seems the press also heard about the food here and they showed up today as well. Oh fun fact that I was told. They have Danny Castillo of Heritage Barbecue's first smoker. A cool bit of CA Barbecue history sitting in this literal backyard barbecue spot.

    My nephew and I decided to visit since Just Smoke BBQ only opens on Sundays from 11:00 to 3:00. I have to say, as a barbecue connoisseur, Just Smoke is the best barbecue establishment outside of the state of Texas. You can't go wrong with all the meats, especially the brisket. The brisket, pulled pork, and ribs are seasoned to perfection and smoked just right. May I also say, ALL the meats were soft to touch and very moist. We also had the mac & cheese and the mashed potatoes. Both sides were amazing as well.

    Best BBQ in the Coachella Valley. Don't be mistaken it is 100% worth the dive to Coachella. I usually order the family platter.

    I asked ChatGPT to recommend the best Mexican restaurant in the Coachella Valley--the kind of place…read moreyou'd take an elite chef visiting from Mexico to show off just how good our Mexican food can be. El Tranvía in Coachella was the top recommendation. I tried it, and damn, I see why! It's amazing. Their birria tatemada is out of this world, and the aguas frescas are to die for. Hands down, this is the best birria I've had outside of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Absolutely worth the trip!

    Whoa flavor explosion! The food here is so good…read more Service was a bit slow, and the food took a while to come out. We also had to figure out on our own that we needed to grab our own salsas. They have a salsa bar near the cash register. All was forgiven once the food came. The carne asada in both the tacos and burritos was so flavorful, and I loved the homemade fresh tortillas. The salsas were all tasty, though definitely all on the spicy side. What really stood out to us were the camarones zarandeados (grilled shrimps). The sauce on them was delicious! They also have a full bar, and I couldn't help but notice everyone ordering these yummy looking red margaritas with a chamoy rim! Too bad it was a little too early for me to try one. However my husband did enjoy the beer. The decor is fun and lively, with a stage right in the middle. It was nice that the owner/manager came by to check in on us.
