Update: On my visit today, the cashier recognized who I was and let me know that they are making changes to ensure that the burgers are better (read my previous review)! Awesome! I’m glad that they try to do better and strive for perfection. Thanks Lavaca BBQ!
3.3.23: I’ve been to Lavaca BBQ a few times now and I have already been greeted right away. Nice family that runs this business. Very good BBQ, and definitely different from other local joints. I’ve had a smattering of items off their menu and they are all good. Moist brisket and turkey, delicious ribs, the sides are excellent. Today I tried their “Big Cheese” burger and it was good. Nice smoke on it the bacon and cheese topper was nice. Unfortunately their burger wasn’t hot enough to melt the cheese and I think that’s because they don’t put some heat on the burger right before they serve it. Fries came with the burger and they were crunchy, but again not fried to order; so they weren’t hot. Another thing, is that rather take your order and have a separate pickup window or bring it to your table they have you wait in line, and that backs up the line. I think this is just a sign of not having been in the food business for all that long. But, that being said, they are very nice and the food is good. A few missteps, but nothing that can’t be fixed.

Great food, amazing service-
Brisket was perfectly fork tender, good smoke, great taste. Never had a tamale off the pit- will get that again! I love smoked turkey and it did not disappoint. Jalapeño cheese sausage was a perfect blend- heat was minimal.
will be back!

The moment you walk in, they treat you like family. It was our first time, but it won’t be the last. I don’t think I’ve ever had better brisket. Both of my sons had the two meat plate with brisket and Central Texas sausage. I opted for the pork belly and sausage. I tried to find something I didn’t like but couldn’t. From the potato salad, to the mac n cheese, and the cornbread, everything was exceptional. Next time we will have to save room for the awesome looking desserts. I can’t wait to take my husband to try it the next time he’s home. Best BBQ place in the area, hands down.

Finally had to stop in and try their food. Had the loaded baked potato with brisket and it was so delicious. Will definitely have to come back and try one of their plates. The baked potato was huge I couldn’t even finish it. Loved the mustard BBQ sauce and the regular BBQ sauce had great flavor as well. The lady who took my order was super friendly and answered all my questions.

My experience at La Vaca was like no other. The hospitality above all was world class. The brisket was cooked and rendered to perfection, big red ribs were glazed just right, with a perfect bite. Pork belly was not fatty and simply seasoned to allow you to enjoy the pork. Pulled pork was moist, shredded perfectly, there was no nasty fatty connective tissue mixed with it, which tells me it’s carefully shredded or trimmed. All the proteins are served sauceless, naked with nothing to hide. The Serrano cheddar sausage is crisp and lean, not greasy at all. I loved it. The bbq gumbo is a must try, the tamale was Smokey and filled with moist chicken guisado. Jalepeno cream corn, house sliced bread, and macaroni were all made from scratch and deserve a seat at the table with the perfect proteins. Lastly our deserts “Cookie Monster”, banana pudding, and smoked cheese cake are also made from scratch and could easily pass as a desert from a world class bakery. Overall my family and I felt at home and I’d recommend La Vaca to any enthusiast of bbq. We will be back !!

Here I am, BBQ snob. I like to stop and try joints out. I don’t find myself a picky BBQ eater just enjoy great Q.
All restaurants should be great. If it’s not, shut your doors. This place?
Good choices, flavors, please keep the doors open.
Everything I tried had its own unique flavor profile and very different from anything else I have ever tried.
I will return!

The parking is in the back. The inside is more outdoor seating with screened windows, doors, and fans. We were received with piping hot samples! Everything is homemade and top quality, hence the price. The meat is weighed. The only thing I would complain about is the bread that was served with my sandwich was extremely thick then once it soaked in with the meat juices, it crumpled apart. But other than that, can’t wait to go back and try other menu items.

Great food, great service, perfect atmosphere!
Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon, not busy (2pm), ordered a chopped brisket sandwich. Brisket was cooked to perfection. They didn’t skimp on the size either, it was full! It didn’t have any barbecue sauce, but it wasn’t needed. It had a wonderful taste.
Returned today, Sunday, to pick up an order to bring home – brisket, ribs, green beans & potato salad, also included a couple sauces, regular & Texas gold, enhancing the wonderful flavor of the meats. Delicioso! Best part is that I ordered plenty, 1/2 lb of each meat & pint size sides, so leftovers for tomorrow & maybe even next
