San Antonio sits at the southern edge of Texas barbecue country, where brisket and beef ribs share the smoker with a strong Tejano influence. Pinkerton's Barbecue downtown and 2M Smokehouse on the south side are the names to know, both built around long mesquite and post oak smokes. The Smoke Shack in Alamo Heights rounds out the city's trade in slow-smoked Texas plates.
