My cousin and i did a road trip to Ontario from Santa Maria and i found this spot on the way. Over all i enjoyed the food and service was very welcoming and helpful.
1.Rice had a Cajan taste with a hint of tang
2.The brisket i had was legit falling apart and was juicy
3.i usually dont have the bbq sauce since its mostly sweet elsewhere but here it had a tangy flavor that i preferred
4. The ribs were supper well seasoned
5 the macNcheese and cornbread was okay but lets be honest we dont go here for the sides
I would go back definitely but inly get the proteins.

This is one of those places that I’ve been wanting to go to and today I finally went.
The pare (homie) “Ram” made sure that my experience would be great.
I ordered the “Large 6B” with Bbq chicken, brisket, and pork ribs with corn, beans, potatoe salad, and fries.
The meats were very tender specially the brisket and the sides were very good as well.
The portion was huge that I couldn’t finish the food even when I had munchies.

This place is good, we ate there 2 days in a row working in the area. Had pulled pork sandwich the first day, it was just a little dry so I had the brisket the next day, that was really good. I’d try the street corn next time as a side at that looked really good. The beans and Mac and cheese didn’t wow me but was good .
I’d give it 5 stars if it had some indoor seating, the sun was brutal sitting outside. Needs just a little more shade.

I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with this burger BUT I DID!!! The blend on the patty is perfect, so much delicious flavor that I was literally picking up every last crumb — that’s how good it was. It was also super juicy so it essentially marinated the rest of the burger. The only thing keeping it from a 5 is that the pickles and pickled onions were not pungent enough to cut through the fat from the patty. And don’t skip on the Thick Fries, they are perfectly seasoned with a pillowy interior and crisp exterior!

Had the rib tips plate with a side of collard greens. The ribs were so tender and delicious and the greens were on point. The BBQ sauce is tasty, however they don’t give you enough. But I will eat here again!!!

Barbecue is really good. Love smoked barbecue. Will definitely be coming back.
It’s not a place to really sit down and eat. More of a take and go kind of situation. Although they do have seating outside, but it’s too cold right now to do that.
Smelled amazing when I walked in. They were very friendly as well. They do not have a spicy barbecue sauce, which is a disappointment for me because I love spicy barbecue. The barbecue sauce they do have has a very unique flavor. I’m not quite sure what it is. Taste good at first, but after a while, it becomes overwhelming.

That is the best pulled pork I have ever tasted. The bbq sauce has a little kick to it that is absolutely stellar, I recommend dipping the fries in it too. The mac and cheese is so creamy and the seasoning is amazing. As my wife put it “Damn.” Really friendly people this is a great place to eat.

Surprising flavor on ribs, briskets and pulled pork! It’s not the typical ribs with super sweet barbecue sauce that it ends up making you cloving. Barbacue sauce is less sweet and a little bit acid but it’s really good.

Had this saved a while, finally stopped by and left full af. It’s a small spot with parking in the back. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Cool wooden tables. Got the BBQ Plate Brisket 1/3lb with Street Corn, Pulled Pork Nachos and a cold Dr Pepper. The nachos were thick & crunchy, loaded with lots of cheese, toppings, and big chunks of pork. Brisket was tender, flavored, and fell apart (I got the fatty meat). Corn was so tasty, mix it all up and enjoyed. I couldn’t finish it all, but boy did I try! Will definitely swing by again sometime to try some other stuff.

AJ’s Tex-Mex Barbecue surpassed my expectations even though it’s a hole-in-the-wall spot. On my first visit, I ordered the Brisket Sando with a side of Mac n Cheese.
that brisket sando was juicy and packed with flavor, making each bite a better reason to come back. The Mac n Cheese was good, but it could’ve been warmer. Regardless it was tasty and paired well with the brisket.
couldn’t resist trying that street corn , It was bursting with flavor and added a nice touch to the meal .
My only regret is not having enough room to try more plates . Next time, I’ve got my eye on the baked potato with added
