Texas Smokehouse BBQ is a true hole-in-the-wall that only has three tables inside and does most of its business through take-out, but this tiny storefront serves up some of the tastiest barbecue in the South Bay. Order with confidence since everything on the menu is good. We like the uncommonly lean and tender tri-tip, sliced beef links, and pork spare ribs. Also try the crispy fried catfish and fried red snapper, two items that further distinguish this place from other barbecue spots.
