1. 2M Smokehouse

    Barbecue

    Pitmaster Esaul Ramos Jr. runs a straightforward counter operation where you order by weight and sit among locals at picnic tables or benches, the smoke still clinging to your clothes. The brisket arrives juicy and the turkey brined in citrus-pepper spice, flanked by chicharrón mac and pickled nopales that hint at the kitchen's Mexican roots.
