2nd ave BBQ

This is literally the best barbecue I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve tried all the meat they offer on different occasions and it’s all incredibly juicy, tender, and with an incredible flavor. The chef wouldn’t get into it, but they use a combo of spices and it’s so incredibly tender that they must brine it or work some kind of magic. The meat is so great that I never put sauce on it or eat it with anything else. They offer chicken and ribs, though sometimes have sausage and other offerings. I’m not sure on the hours (I live nearby so just stop by a lot), but they seem open everyday around noon until 10pm most nights and maybe midnight on fri-​sat. The price is what it should be and what Miami is severly lacking. Everything is under 10 $. You can buy a slab of ribs for 25 $ or a ½ for 15 $.
The bbq is a side-​of-​the-​road outfit. There’s not chairs, no tables, just food. If you are the type of person who writes Unilocal reviews about that sort of thing, this is not your place. The neighborhood is little haiti, which if you are the kind of person who lives in a concrete box and is terrified of everyone who doesn’t live in a gated community then you should probably stick to schmancy chain restaurants in Kendall. Parking is ample and free, we walk or ride our bikes to the place. It’s easy to miss, but there’s a mural on the wall of the business they’re attached to (Majestic Lips, a new age kind of store with poetry nights on a certain friday of every month) and they open the gate and have the table set up there.
They say that soon they’ll have a juice bar with health promoting supplements and all that jazz. Either way this is like the greatest thing you can do on a late night craving. Everyone I’ve taking here wakes up from their dreams craving it. It needs to be promoted!

I don’t mess around when it comes to meat and this place doesn’t either. This is the best barbecue I’ve had in my whole life, sorry to all the suburban dads that think they are the grill masters.
Like any good barbecue their method is secret and even if it wasn’t I don’t think I could replicate it, but that is okay because I don’t want to. The moment I get off the bus the smell is intoxicating and even if I am full I feel and instant craving for their food. I’ve only had their chicken and their ribs, both juicy, incredibly well seasoned, and fall of the chair delicious. But there are no chairs so don’t worry about that. When nightfall comes keep watch for the fluorescent lightbulb and the 2^nd ave BBQ sign and you will see them behind a gate looking at you and waiting for you to stop.
Be warned! This is not a fancy place; don’t expect tables and chairs, do expect styrofoam containers, amazing barbecue, and maybe some cats.
