My Take
Our Take
The Spot
Zavala's Barbecue sits at Brisket Lane and Main Street in Grand Prairie, turning out smoked meats that regulars consistently point to as the draw. The sides get real attention too — potato salad, slaw, and hominy that stand out from typical barbecue-joint offerings.

The room itself is rustic and no-frills, with a few rough edges on the comfort side, but service moves efficiently and the line rarely drags. That combination has built a following willing to make the trip specifically for it.

StarChefs named Zavala's to its 2021 Rising Stars list for the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
