Camacho Southern Style Bbq - Santa Rosa

Camacho's happened to be at HenHouse Brewery when my family stopped in this weekend, and though I've never heard of them before (as I'm based for the most part in Oakland), I was super satisfied by the rib plate. The 4 ribs we got were meaty and juicy, and came with a generous portion of BBQ sauce for dipping or slathering. The mac salad was refreshing and cool while the baked beans were smoky and hot. Everything perfectly complemented the flight of beers we got at HenHouse and on top of that the food was all served to us on an awesome cool cardboard tray that fit everything just right and composts after usage. It was a perfect shared snack with my family and best part is the price point was just right you honestly can't find this kind of deal in the East Bay or San Francisco. They know their stuff!

Got the pulled pork fries everything tasted good..good amount served except the fries seemed stale and Rock hard so disappointing

The brisket is the best brisket around! Big slices of meat that is juicy and never dry. The spice blend is perfection! The ribs and sides are great too, but the brisket is what you have to order! If you haven't tried Camacho's, you are missing out. The best part is you can usually catch their food truck at Cooperage. You'll have to check the calendar, but it's so worth the extra effort.

In the mood for meaty pork ribs? This won 't disappoint you. The bones we had were LOADED with succulent meat. I thought the meat was tender but it remotely not juicy (on the cusp of dry and could have had more inherent flavor. I detected no pepper seasoning as others mentioned. The BBQ sauce is good but too sweet as is because it needs a component of acid like vinegar and a pinch of salt to make it outstanding. Especially to cut the richness of the meat. Spicy BBQ sauce is good but a little too spicy. Sauce Workaround: Bring some vinegar and salt to season to taste as you mix the two sauces and you 'll have a very good sauce. The potato salad was the best thing in the order since the flavor was good, slightly acidic and seasoned just enough to make it delicious. It 's a dill pickle based potato salad in the most pleasant way. The only room for improvement would be to kick up the acid a bit. Again to add sharpness to counter the meat. The nopales salad is visually appealing and had good flavor, but the filleted nopales added too much of a mucilaginous texture that overtook amy enjoyment of the flavor. (This coming from someone who loves okra and eats nato. The jalapeños added just enough kick to the flavor that it was similar to a fresh salsa. Had there been julienned carrots, jicama, and a better ratio of cabbage to make for a hardy crunch to counter the impact of the nopales, then the rest of the ingredients could have made a great orchestra in your mouth. Would I try this food truck again? Probably, if I ask if the meat is juicy first. Maybe there is a better time of day for that. I 'd try the baked beans instead of the nopales salad but I know I make the best BBQ baked beans I 've ever had, confirmed by many strangers at an outdoor event. So I don 't have high expectations for anyone else 's. Though there is hope since the flavor of the salad and potatoes was better than norma most BBQ places for sides. Most places usually neglect putting legitimate thought and care towards their sides. I 'll have to bring my own vinegar (or other acidic component and salt to customize a mix of the sauces to bring them to their full potential.

Truly fantastic food! Ribs, pulled pork, brisket, porkadilla keep us coming back! And the sides the slaw is fresh, the cactus salad is kickin, and the potato salad with hint of pickle is the best potato salad I've ever had. And beyond the food, Camacho's is run by one of the nicest, most caring guys you'll ever meet!
