Mission St. BBQ 1618 Mission Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060

"Great service. Great food. Plenty of parking. Had the two meat combo with ribs and tri tip. Both have a nice smoky flavor which is enhanced by their sweet and savory bbq sauce. There’s also a spicy bbq sauce if you like some kick. The husband had El Gaucho sandwich which had a generous portion of sliced brisket, provolone and chimichurri sauce. We both had mac & cheese. I also had the fresh crisp coleslaw which I enjoyed because it’s flavorful but not over the top with ingredients. The berry cobbler dessert with vanilla ice cream on top was a nice surprise. A little sweet, a little tart a lot of yummy. Would definitely do Mission Street BBQ again!"

"I had high hopes for the ribs but they were just okay. The beans are delicious the Cole slaw is very dry and the mac and cheese has no flavor. Great gal at the counter"

"The breakfast tacos are fresh and fantastic. I ordered one of each, the pork, brisket and tri tip. Each taco has a fried egg and it's loaded up with plenty of meat.They use a small flour tortillas for their soft tacos, but the tortillas are really good. I also order salsa on the side which is has a little kick to it. And they always include an Andes mint! These tacos are worth the $5/each. I hope they offer BBQ chicken breakfast tacos in the future."

"Had a nice dinner here and we ordered some BBQ ribs. The meat is a bit tough but the flavor is good. Their sides are not too bad. We had some BBQ chips, mac & cheese and potato salad. The cashier and staff are kind. And there is a band that played some songs during dinner. They are pretty engaging. So overall a fun experience."

"We were greeted in a friendly manner and they were happy to answer my questions about the menu. We ordered a sampler with ribs, brisket, and pulled pork along with an order of tri tip. The pulled pork was as expected, the ribs and brisket were both above average but the tri tip may be some of the best I’ve had. All of the meats were moist and full flavor. For sides we had beans, coleslaw and Mac n cheese. All were pretty good but nothing stood out. The bbq sauces were both very good. But the spicy really hit home for me. Cherry pie with Ice cream was also a solid way to close it out."
