I'm a native Texan and this is the closest I've found to authentic TX BBQ in Colombia -- wow!! (We've sampled quite a few in Bogotá and Austin's outside of Subachoque). The spice rub and tenderness of the wood-smoked brisket were spot on, as was the homemade BBQ sauce on the ribs and pork belly. Several ingredients are imported to make sure the flavor profile is right, including for the super creamy Mac n Cheese. Don't miss the pie as well, we had the apple pie and the homemade crust was incredible. Really enjoyed our visit to Sam & Dave's and will be coming back!
