Lizard Joe's BBQ is a small town kinda place serving slow smoked Authentic Tejano BBQ with a Taste as BIG as Texas
Located on the beach in the small fishing village of Chelem Yucatan Mexico, Lizard Joe's BBQ is internationally known as one of the best BBQ restaurants on either side of the border and the Yucatan Home of Tequila Rock Legend Joe King Carrasco. Lizard Joe's has all of your favorite BBQ and traditional Tex-Mex plates, a full bar with Ice Cold beer. All our meats come straight from local ranches and slow smoked over regional hardwood for up to 20 hours using non-commercial smokers for Authentic Backyard BBQ Tejano Style.
But don't think we cater to just carnivores ... we are one of the only BBQ restaurants in the world serving specialty Tex-Mex dishes that are Vegan friendly and exclude some more traditional ingredients in our side dishes so that they too are Vegetarian friendly if not Vegan.
