Nestled right in the corner of a tiny shopping center next to Leon Valley Police Department. El Monte BBQ sure packs a punch assaulting your taste buds from all angles. I had the 2 meat & 1 side plate with a Topo Chico came out to about $25. BBQ sauce was on point and the brisket was delicious. We sat outside in a small patio. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Ordered the two ribs and a side of creamed corn and potato salad. The total came out to over $18.00. I took it to Togo and was excited to taste it since it was my first time here. The ribs were very tender but very salty. The creamed corn was good. The potato salad had a bit too much mustard. Overall, I would try it again, but hopefully, the meat is not salty, especially since it was a costly meal.

The restaurant is very small not for dinning in. The brisket sandwich was great. The turkey was a little fatty and the pulled pork was really oily. The man working with the meats was super friendly, but the lady on the cash register seemed like everything was a bother and she was put out. I asked her what she would recommend since we hadn’t eaten there before and she said whatever you want to eat. Probably won’t be back.

A little disappointed. The brisket was very very dry, pulled pork was decent, sausage was great!

It’s has a small indoor dining area but there are picnic tables outside. They have fans outside to help with the heat.

Place is tasty. Slightly inconsistent but worth the risk because most of the time it is good. Good portions. Creamed corn is great. Brisket is tender and tasty but not much smoke flavor. Overall good

First time vsit was a great experience I like the set up. It was small but the outside area was nice. The food was really good the brisket tender juicy and a good taste on the bark. The ribs tender with a nice flavor to them. Cream corn was worth it. Sausage was okay but they don’t make it them selfs. Definitely worth trying again. My friend had the three tacos combo and said they were also very good. Homemade tortillas.

We sampled all the meats and they were all delicious. The creamed corn was my favorite. Even offered Kool-aid to the kiddos! They have a nice patio with fans and umbrellas.

I swear on everything I love, you will NOT find a better brisket in San Antonio. My goodness, this brisket is ridiculous. I’m not even a huge brisket fan! I am now though. Will definitely be coming back. Sides were great as well.
