Zavala's Barbecue - Grand Prairie

This place is so good! I travel all over Texas for great barbecue, and this place instantly made it into my top five. The brisket was amazing, and you must try the Sloppy Juan !Make sure you ask for a tortilla and put all of your extra meat in it. And then try their tasty salsas that they have at the table.

A small craft bbq joint delivering some of the best bbq in the state! Service was exceptional (loved the free Lone Star) and the food was incredible. I wouldn’t be surprised if this makes it in the top 5 Texas Monthly list next time around.Food: 5/5

This is the best BBQ that I've had in the DFW area!!! There wasn't anything that I got that I didn't like. All the meats were delicious and the sides were absolutely spectacular!!!Food: 5/5

Let me begin this review by saying that I've been through every state in the U.S. my job allowed me to eat wherever and whatever sounded good. The Best BBQ was my quest, so along with my co pilot we toured the U.S.My first time here at Zavalas, a big lunch crowd.Not much indoor seating lots of outdoor though, and kind of bad in the 100 plus Temps. So I got a 2 meat plate to go; The plate was brisket ,sausage,2 sides and no drink- $24 and change.The brisket had great bark but way too much pepper for my taste. Sausage was good; beans were great! BBQ sauce was really kind of hot and took away from the flavor of the food in a way. I like spicy foods but not when I'm eating BBQ.Portions were kind of small for the price, maybe inflation has a part in price but I will stick to my go-to bbq places.Check em out if you want

This family run BBQ place has a cool Hispanic vibe with TexMex accents everywhere. From the Pico de Gallo salsa with your meat, a tortilla instead of bread, and “Cheesy Jalapeño Hominy” instead of mac and cheese to the “Almost Carnitas” pork burnt ends, this place is cool. And of coarse, the brisket met the criteria of juicy, tender and good smoke flavor. The unique sausage selections are top notch. This is a Destination Point when in Dallas/Fort Worth.
