Smitty's is a part of the landscape in El Paso, having served their delicious barbecue in the city since 1955. The exterior of the restaurant doesn't have the best curb appeal, nor is the interior decor very fancy, but once you sink your teeth into their smoked meats, all will be forgiven.
The menu selections include beef brisket, beef and pork ribs, turkey and chicken breasts, pork tenderloin, and sausage, all smoked to a juicy and tender perfection. They also have some jalapeno hot links that will make even the strongest fire-eaters in the crowd look for drink refills. You can order the barbecue in a basket with just bread and sauce, or try it with Smitty's German fried potatoes, coleslaw, and barbecue beans. Try both the mild and the spicy sauces--they're both tasty! Be careful, though, most of the plates are more than enough to eat. You can always do as I have done, take the homemade rum cake or flan to go. It makes a great midnight snack!
I recommend that if you're hungry for real authentic, lip-smacking Texas barbecue, head over to Smitty's while in El Paso--and bring your BIG appetite! You won't be disappointed.
