Skinny's BBQ | Our Story

From a Food Truck to Two El Paso BBQ Stops

From a Food Truck to Two El Paso BBQ Stops

Skinny's BBQ started on the streets of El Paso, serving smoked meats out of a black trailer. It grew into two brick-and-mortar locations — one in East El Paso on Zaragoza, one in Horizon City — built one plate at a time.
The Truck That Started It

The Truck That Started It

Before there were dining rooms, there was a pit on wheels. Skinny's BBQ hit the streets of El Paso with smoked meats, a cartoon pig on the side of the trailer, and no backup plan.
The BBQ

The BBQ

Brisket, ribs, sausage, chicken, pulled pork — smoked and served the Texas way. Guests keep coming back to the brisket and the ribs, and the platters that put everything on the table at once.
The Welcome

The Welcome

The owner greets guests at the door — not as a policy, just as a habit. That kind of hands-on presence is something guests mention again and again in their reviews.
