“It is a completely homemade menu. Going back to the days of the barbecue in the United States in which Dad was always on the grill having the meats ready and Mom was making the salads ”, Gonzales continues. To start the experience, we tasted some tender homemade cheddar cheese breads accompanied by sweet pepper jelly. A delight that we recommend you not to miss. In turn, three salads are added to the starter offer, among which a refreshing tomato, cucumber and red onion salad with balsamic vinaigrette stands out.

For the main course, you can taste four different smoked meats at home: brisket, smoked chicken, chorizos, as well as pork ribs. You can choose between four sauces to enhance the flavor of your dish. In addition, as a side the restaurant offers plant-based baked beans, macaroni and cheese, fried pickles and grilled corn with mayonnaise.

“There is no family meal without dessert”, concludes the chef. That is why Roundup Rodeo BBQ has four different pies: apple with whipped cream, blueberry and lemon cheesecake, strawberry with plant-based peaches; and finally chocolate foot. For the little ones, the chef recommends a chocolate cupcake filled with chocolate mousse and a cookie in the shape of the forky character on top. As for drinks, there are several options among which the chocolate milk for adults and the margarita split stand out.
