Gobbled it down a couple hours later and it was still fresh and delightful, not too sweet. The waiter was wonderful, friendly and all about service. We did not realize when we walked in that the kitchen was about to close, but they took our order and delivered it skillfully. Plentiful parking. Small outdoor area, plus tables inside. Beautifully Ukranian decor. A new go-to place in Castle Hills.

El Monte was the 82nd smokehouse on my quest to visit as many BBQ restaurants on the planet before…read moreI cross over. Here are a few thoughts from a self-proclaimed BBQ snob:) First off, El Monte is an absolute dive! You can very easily pass by and not give it a second look. But then again, many of the really good smokehouses are. My fiancee and I are new to San Antonio and like trying new BBQ places. We picked El Monte at random after our initial choice turned out to be closed. I ordered a 2-meat platter with brisket and sausage, which is my "go to" meal when trying out any new smokehouse. IMHO, those two meats...and their sides...tell you a lot about a BBQ joint. My fiancee ordered the brisket sandwich. The sausage was a slightly charred but still good, although nothing to write home about. The Barracho beans were pretty good, but not my style. Nor do I like rice with BBQ. Just to be clear...I like Mexican food, I like Tex Mex and I like BBQ. But I don't necessarily like them combined; it's a matter of personal taste for me. The potato salad was okay, but again, nothing to write home about. My fiance had the brisket sandwich and thought it was awesome. For starters, it was HUGE! In addition to the brisket, it had white cheese, pico and guacamole. She offered me a bite, but I was too occupied with my own plate. So, what was good? The brisket was freaking AWESOME!!! It was some of the best I've had. Great flavor and extremely tender. It literally crumbles on your fork and melts in your mouth. Not sure what was in their BBQ sauce, but it complements the brisket extremely well. Nothing else on my plate was bad at all, the brisket just blew everything out of the water. I would go back just for the brisket alone. If you stop by El Monte without trying it, you're selling yourself short. I've never given a 5-Star review based solely on the brisket, so this is first for me.

Nice outdoor place with huge tvs. Would definitely order from them again. Give them a try.

We…read moreordered the duo tray that came with bacon wrapped chicken, sausage, picanha, two fried plantains, white rice, and Ceasars salad. Their menu says that it's made for two, but the tray of food could easily feed 3, maybe 4 people. The pincanha was tender and spiced just right. The sausage was not salty or chewy and very smoky and flavorful. The chicken wrapped bacon was juicy, not dry. And the plantains were cooked to perfection and added a nice, subtle sweetness to the dish. Overall, highly recommend. 10 out of 10. Oh! I almost forgot, we ordered the pao de queijo (12 come in an order), and those were really, really good. Soft, pillowy, warm, and cheesy. We will definitely be back!!!
