LaVaca BBQ’s Smoked Tamales Are a Unique Tex-Mex Barbecue Specialty

By Daniel Vaughn

Lupe and Christine Nevarez’s Port Lavaca joint is a great new option for barbecue in the Coastal Bend.

I was there on opening day and the meats were outstanding! The brisket is tender and juicy, the pork ribs are fall off the bone tasty and the “dino” beef ribs are huge with 1 rib able to satisfy the hunger for 2 people. I find myself stopping in after a morning of fishing to top off the day. Congratulations to the Nevarez family for a successful bbq place!
