Absolute heaven. I cannot wait to come back and do it all again.

The crispy cheese on the edges alone deserved its own round of applause. The curtido and salsa were fresh and balanced, not overpowering, just the perfect complement. And let's talk about the fried plantains with beans and sour cream... WOW. The plantains were caramelized and sweet, the beans were rich and savory, and that cool sour cream on top tied everything together beautifully. Don't let the fact that it's inside a gas station deter you! It's a definite must try! Super reasonable prices, and food that clearly tastes homemade. The owners are so kind and service on point! Call ahead if you're on a time crunch because they are made fresh otherwise be patient, it's worth it! I'll definitely be back -- this spot is too good not to share (but also tempting to gatekeep).

The mac n cheese needed to be heated up before i ate it but in all his prices are good and the food is delicious.

Super solid smash burger! We got a double of the classic burger (I wish I could handle spicy cause…read morethe jalapeño one looked good!) It was tasty and delicious. I wish the bits were crispier and more smashed but it's one of the best you can find on the peninsula. We also got the French fries. Pretty standard frozen fries that were fried well. I would call before you go because they happened to be doing a pop up at fieldworks when we went so we had driven to the wrong spot. Prices also are fair and not expensive! Just expect a long line depending where they are. Try not to look at the dirt and grease caked on their equipment though....

Good barbecue is tough to find around here. And great barbecue? I've only had it once in Northern…read moreCalifornia. Until today. Pitmaster/Chef Michael has an amazing backstory. I actually stumbled across the Dirty Pit BBQ page on the Nextdoor app, where he had posted a video about an unhoused community member who needed a bike. Michael was reaching out to the community and using his platform to see if anyone had an old bike they were getting rid of, or even one to sell and he would buy it and then gift it to the man. Today, Michael told me that he saw the person just the other day, and someone came through with the bike. As I stood talking with him, enjoying my meal (more on that in a second), there was not one but two other people who were standing nearby. Michael offered both of them some food and a smile, saying he knows how hard it is out here. I don't know that I've seen that level of generosity ever at a food stand, and I'm here for it. The question, then, is Does the food measure up? And that's an easy one to answer. I was the third party in line at about 12:15 this afternoon, shortly after opening, so I was able to get a good look at what I was already smelling. No one got to the front before being offered a sample - a bite of tri-tip or a burnt end or an oxtail - which was a great way to try almost everything in one visit. Amazingly, there were zero misses, and everything on the menu was as delicious as Chef Michael described. I chose tri-tip, ribs, and burnt ends for my plate, with mac n cheese and beans as my sides (though I was also offered a sample of collard greens, as well), and I can tell you this: the biggest problem you're going to have is narrowing down your choices. The tri-tip is tender and flavorful, and the temperature was a very nice medium rare. The oxtails had a fantastic homemade blend of seasoning. I don't often order oxtails, but these had such a comfort-food quality that I immediately realized I've been missing out. The pork ribs were large, meaty, and perfectly seasoned. The burnt ends had an incredible glaze. I brought a bite of mac n cheese over to take a dip in the burnt end sauce and almost fell over, it was so good. The mac n cheese was exactly what you want it to be - a nice crust on top, and cheesy, gooey goodness all throughout. As for the beans and the collard greens: I can't remember ever having better beans or greens anywhere, ever, and that's after living in the South for over a decade. The greens were incredible - so often they're too salty or bitter, but I could eat a whole plate of these. And the beans were the most savory, hearty bbq beans you've ever seen. I've literally never been excited about bbq beans, because so often people either heat them up straight from a can, or cook them in a way that makes them taste like they're canned anyway. These beans were insane, and that in an of itself is kind of an insane thing to say about beans. All of that to say, this is competition-winning-level stuff here. And let's put this in context - at this point, Chef Michael has his meats and sides all kept in catering trays lined with foil, which would make it tricky for an all-day setup. But he's been selling out before anything gets too dry. I've been fortunate to be at the front of the proverbial line of a few of the best (Texas Monthly Top 50 - actual best!) bbq places in Texas before they blew up (Corkscrew in Spring when it was a trailer and a tent, Tejas in Tomball when it was a chocolate shop), as well as most of the famous spots, and I am completely confident in saying that if Chef Michael keeps up this level of smoking and cooking, we're looking at what could become the gold standard for NorCal bbq.

The Korean short ribs had great flavor but were way too chewy. To top it off, they were out of the Pavlova dessert, and the backup lemon cheesecake was just average. The ambiance is too casual for a special occasion, and the music was too loud for the small space. On the positive side, the service was good. I might return eventually, but it's not a top choice for me. Food: 3/5 (Flavor was there, but texture and unexpected additions missed the mark) Service: 4/5 (The service was good and they offered an off-menu substitute) Ambiance: 2/5 (Too loud and too casual for a special occasion)

The romaine had a delicious lemon dressing and manchego cheese, which was simple and underwhelming to look at, but complex and savory to the taste. Next, the pork belly lettuce cups: every one of the elements had their place, from the pork belly and sweet sauce, to the pineapple, to the cashews. The street tacos were delicious with their square flour tortillas, and would have been a star dish anywhere else. They just paled in comparison to the first two dishes. When we finished, we chose a dessert: the chocolate cheesecake with the toffee crumble on top. Oh my gosh, I died and went to heaven. I could have eaten another entire piece on my own if I didn't have dairy issues. We were a bit late to our reservation, but I called to let them know we were running late and they assured us the table was ours for the night. Everyone was friendly and the intimacy of the restaurant was charming. We will be coming back when we're in the area again. We were very satisfied with the price and the amount and quality of the food. I look forward to coming back!
