The smoky aroma from their food truck is what first drew me in, but the incredible flavor keeps me coming back. Their brisket sandwich might be the best lunch in town. Love watching this local business grow and succeed - they deserve all the praise they're getting!

I've tried BBQ all over the country, and Lil' Smokey's stands with the best of Texas. Their commitment to using Post Oak wood makes all the difference in the flavor. The pork belly bites are addictive, and their mac n' cheese might be the best side I've ever had with barbecue. Great addition to Salida's food scene!

As a Texan transplant to Colorado, I'm picky about my barbecue. Lil' Smokey's is the real deal! The brisket has that perfect smoke ring and bark that's hard to find outside of central Texas. I make the drive from Leadville regularly just for their food. Worth the trip every time!
