Video production is amazing on this and really brought out how authentic Heritage BBQ really is. I live close to this place and let me tell you, once of the best BBQ places in California. Daniel and his crew are so nice and friendly and they do make you feel like you’re part of the family. They truly care about your experience at Heritage and that’s what sets them apart from the others.

[@Rob-yv9og]

No corny white vegan protestors will mess with this place...

[@legendagem]

Don't ask me why I'm binge watching texas bbq videos as a Brazilian who's never been to US. But that whole culture is fascinating to me. I specially love that the people interviewd seem to LOVE what they do and don't treat as a job but as art. Brazilian BBQ is worlds away from it starting by the fact that we don't even use brisket here, rarely you see that cut for sale cause it's not seen as a prime cut so it's cheap but BBQers don't use it. Most bbqs here are just different cuts with lots of fat and done over blazing coal real fast like 30min. We love some garlic bread with the meat and we don't really smoke stuff.

The editing on this video is top notch. Feels like a tv show!

Met Daniel and his wife and some of the crew at a pop up at Riip Brewery in Huntington Beach a year ago. I'd been trying to get down to Heritage for the longest, but something always came up. After tasting his tacos and tri tip and sausage I made sure to put it higher on the priority list. I'm born and raised in Manhattan Beach, but I make it a point to drive down to Heritage. Worth the 60 miles drive. The food is amazing. Best BBQ in California no question. But Daniel and the crew really make the experience even better than just the amazing food. I wish all of them the greatest success. Super team, super food.

Met Chris and the team last year and they're such amazing people that certainly correlates with the amazing food. Drove and left Los Angeles early and got into a line for one of the best briskets I've ever had. Definitely the best in California for sure. Also 8:00 mark shoutout to that Pumpkin Hill beat, I recognize that beat from anywhere. 13:45 Wild Canyon as well ooof. Noticed some other Sonic music but the Adventure 2 Battle is what hits my heart hard.

This time at Heritage BBQ in San Juan Capistrano, CA. Along with many nods and accolades from the likes of LA Times (101 List), Eater - Smoke Point, and Michelin. Heritage was recently the first listed restaurant in Michelin's all new list "The Best Barbecue in California". Daniel and his team love what they do, and they love working together. They really capture the feel of a true Texas BBQ joint, because everyone is focused and excited for the day of service they're working on.
