    Ate at their 2nd location (back when it was open). &nbsp;Hands down the nicest most hospitable bbq joint I&apos;ve ever eaten at, and it&apos;s not even close. &nbsp;Their beautiful religious faith shines for all to see. &nbsp;Actually told the server at the time I wished they were closer to where we lived because we&apos;d be regulars 100%! &nbsp;Was so overjoyed when they made top 10, it&apos;s well-deserved. &nbsp; Thank you for raising awareness to their struggles.

    I can&apos;t believe a small out of the way place made it to #8 on TM top 50, but now I see why LaVaca has made it and the best is yet to come. Kelly is an amazing person, no doubt. Every little detail in the execution of their dishes is what sets them apart along with their passion for the food and their love for people. Another bucket list place for sure. Thanks chef Al for bringing the best stories and making food come to life. I can see you trying some of these dishes at home.

    The thing that stands out to me is the Nevarez family&apos;s dedication to perfection. It&apos;s not about money, sure you have to pay the bills, but this is about the love and pride that you put into crafting your BBQ. Another great look into not just the food, but the story of the people that create it. Well done Al.

    I went here a few years ago. I was on a fishing trip to Port O&apos;Connor. Saw this place was on the list. Got some on my way through. Then proceeded to eat there 2 more times. It was crystal clear to me that the real secret ingredient was love. Everyone there loved what they were doing, so many original things they have are unique and it is all absolutely amazing.

    Just as I admire Daniel Vaughn for finding BBQ&apos;s diamonds in the rough, so do I admire you, Al, for shining a light on their brilliance. &nbsp;May this video set off pilgrimages to this place that deserves a packed house every day. &nbsp;This wonderful family has a standard of perfection and an incredible work ethic. Good times or bad, their character is unwavering. &nbsp;God bless them.
