Tex-Mex has done it again and taken BBQ to the next level. Local meats, local spices, local firewood and local citrus! Welcome to South Texas, welcome to the Rio Grande Valley. Welcome to Texican BBQ-land!
When people talk about American BBQ, they typically refer to four main styles: North Carolina, Memphis, Kansas City, and Texas. Each has its own distinct flavors, cooking techniques, and meat preferences. But deep in the heart of Texas, a fifth style has been carving out its own legacy—South Texas BBQ. This unique style blends traditional smoking methods with bold Mexican and Tex-Mex influences, creating an experience like no other. At Texican BBQ Company, we’re proud to bring this incredible flavor to Brownsville and beyond!
The Four Classic BBQ Styles +1
- North Carolina BBQ – Known for its vinegar-based sauce and whole-hog approach, this style emphasizes the natural flavor of pork.
- Memphis BBQ – Famous for dry-rubbed ribs and a tangy, tomato-based sauce, Memphis BBQ is all about deep, smoky flavors.
- Kansas City BBQ – This style features a wide variety of meats and a thick, sweet, and tangy sauce that makes it stand out.
- Texas BBQ – Texas is known for its beef, especially slow-smoked brisket with simple seasoning to let the meat’s natural flavors shine.
