History

Established in 2015.

Our business grew out of our love for the barbeque we grew up with in the Lone Star State. Since living in northern New Mexico, we found there was no where nearby to get that genuine Texas taste, and decided to make it our mission to bring that old school slow-​smoked pit flavor to Taos and share it with our friends. Our little roadside stand has grown steadily and we are pleased to now be sharing this long-​time traditional way of cooking meat with our community and the many visitors who pass this part of northern New Mexico.

Meet the Business Owner

Richard N.

Business Owner

Richard (aka Jethro) learned the art of barbecue by hanging out with his Uncle Bill out in the west Texas town of Uvalde. Summers spent smoking meats for family parties and cooking for overnight commercial rafting trips on the Rio Grande river engendered in him a love for cooking for friends and clients. It became his dream to own and operate a roadside barbecue stand.

After moving to Taos to resume rafting for Far Flung Adventures after a several-​years hiatus, the opportunity arose to make that dream a reality. The response was immediate and overwhelming! Folks in Taos are hungry for barbecue! We grew from a couple of tables and a barbecue pit to a food truck after a few months, and we are still going strong, thanks to our friends and supporters in this beautiful high desert mountain town!

Well I would have to day the ribs are good. But they say they are baby backs that is a lie. They are spare ribs all the way. The sauce taste like my crappy hotel room smells .Go for the ribs but take lots of money and a bottle of sauce. Also who in there right mind doesn’t give napkins when you get barbecue. Not worth a second trip.

First off I did not eat the food. It’s not a restaurant with tables & chairs. No address. It’s just a truck in a parking lot. The other reviews dont tell ya this. I guess you eat in your car or hotel room if you’re a tourist such as I was. As I sat in my car watching, a cook came out and put tape across the menu items indicating sold out. So I drove away.

Due to the nature of my employment (traveling rock band), I see A LOT of what America has to offer, and have had every pulled pork sandwich from Savannah, Georgia to Amarillo, TX. That being said, Jethro’s Genuine Texas BBQ is one of the BEST pulled pork I’ve ever had. First of all, 7 bucks will buy you a sandwich the size of a breakfast plate. HUGE bang for your buck! Glazed bun, juicy pork. I prefer going classic with the coleslaw thrown in the mix. Jethro’s particular mix is super sweet and spicy. PERFECTLY orchestrated! Clean, comfortable outdoor seating, and friendly staff rocking some of that good ol’ outlaw country on the boombox. Seriously folks, this is the REAL DEAL! If you’re traveling through Taos, look him up. It’s a welcome change from your typical burrito stand. He’ll be my first stop when I come back. Thanks Jethro!

I am originally from Texas and enjoy the different styles of BBQ from around the country. Jethro’s is a great addition to the Taos food scene! The sliced brisket and the ribs are juicy and flavorful. The sauce is really tasty as well– yes, you heard that from a Texan. I haven’t tried the sausage because they had already sold out the times I’ve been there so far. Don’t miss trying some of the best BBQ in New Mexico. They’re open Thursday– Sunday. I hear they will place the famous smoker & food truck just north of Albertsons soon so keep an eye out.

We live in Austin, TX, arguably the BBQ capital. I enjoyed Jethro’s ribs, brisket and pulled pork. They ran out of sausage so I didn’t get to try it. Jethro used to live in Austin, and I would say this: if he opens a BBQ place in Austin I would eat there. They open at 11am. Make sure you get there early before they sell out. If you’re craving authentic Texas BBQ in Taos you can’t go wrong with Jethro’s

Authentic Texas BBQ in the Heart of Taos. This is the real deal; brisket, pork and sausage smoked over central Texas oak.

If you like good «hole in the wall» food then you’ll love this. Got the brisket Frito pie. Wife got the sausage sandwich. Worth the money spent. Ate under a nearby, enjoying being outside. Even the kids like it! And they normally don’t like bbq.
