Barbecue

Casual Dining, Fast Casual

Moo's Craft Barbecue started as an underground BBQ popup in a small East Los Angeles Backyard in 2017. Inspired by Texas Barbecue, we use old school techniques to produce our delicious, melt in your mouth smoked meats with a CaliMex twist. Recognized by Food & Wine's Best Barbecue in every state 2020 in California, Moo's draws hours long lines at brewery popups and Smorgasburg Los Angeles. Our new restaurant is located in Lincoln Heights. We hope to see y'all soon.
