Fodor's Expert Review Grand Ole BBQ Y Asado

Reopened after a recent remodel, this North Park spot is an authentic and eclectic stop for barbecue—both Texas-style and Argentine—with patio dining to preserve the feeling of a backyard fete, even if someone else is cooking. Meat is served by the pound (or half- or quarter-pound—there's no minimum order when you're selecting between brisket, hot links, smoked turkey or ribs) or available as a sandwich, for those who prefer some carbs with their protein.
