How we got here

Grandpa Ruben ran a pit behind a gas station in Lockhart for thirty-one years. When the building sold in 2018, we couldn't afford a room — so we put the pit on a trailer instead.

What we're about

Feed people food we'd put in front of our own family, at a price a family can actually pay.

Where it comes from

Brisket from a family ranch an hour east. The sauce is Grandma Ada's recipe, made by memory.

The people behind it
Marisol Rivera
Owner & pitmaster

Learned the pit from her grandfather in Lockhart.

Overnight pit

Lights the post oak at 2 AM so the brisket is ready by lunch.
