Texas BBQ is all about simplicity.

There’s no need for fancy sauces or spices – just salt, pepper, and smoke will do the trick. Texas style BBQ is all about letting the natural flavors of the meat shine through. And what could be more delicious than that?

Most people think of Texas BBQ as being all about the meat. And while that’s certainly true, there’s something else that’s just as important – salt, pepper, and smoke. These three ingredients are what give Texas BBQ its distinctive flavor, and they can’t be replaced by anything else.

Salt is essential for bringing out the natural flavors of the meat, and it also helps to tenderize the meat. Pepper gives the BBQ a slight kick, and smoke adds a delicious smoky flavor.

Why I Use Texas Post Oak Wood

There are a couple of reasons why I use Texas Post Oak wood for BBQ. Firstly, it’s a very dense wood, which means that it burns for a long time.

This is perfect for smoking meat, as it allows the smoke to circulate around the meat for a long time. Secondly, Texas Post Oak wood has a distinct flavor which is perfect for BBQ.

Customer Reviews

Truck driver passing thru the area and googled maps “BBQ”… this was the closet location to a BBQ joint, and boy was I impressed. Had the BBQ spare ribs, which were A-1 (very good), owner stated he’s from Central Texas and uses a smoker with Oak Wood method, very fond of that. First time trying Mexican street corn which were creamy and delightful Mac and cheese were very good as well. Last but not least, the corn bread. Never had cornbread that tasted like ice cream (compliment), each bite was delightful and wanting more. Highly recommend for travelers or BBQ lovers. Will be back again when in the area

The meats were all a five star really good and not dry although the sides are a little different story three stars for that, cole slaw was bland needed a little more tang, Mac n cheese was dry I prefer a creamier one, corn bread was delicious but service was incredible, really friendly and menu well explained will be back hope sides get a little better but meats are delicious.

AMAZING BBQ!!! If you haven't tried it you need to try it. Beef dino rib was absolutely juicy and delicious. And the burnt ends were right there with it. If you're a BBQ fan, and want to add another smoking spot to your list. Check this place out, you'll love it. Kid-friendliness: Very Wheelchair accessibility: Yes (may vary based on location)

I ordered the sparerib dinner. I enjoyed it very much. The meal was very filling and delicious. The meat was well seasoned and extremely tender to the point of falling off the bones. I shared the ribs with my mother and she loved them. I will go back to try the other dishes very soon.

5 star ratingI'm a transplant from Texas living in California. I visited New Life BBQ's Food Truck at the Riverside Airport and was skeptical about how good their food was. I ordered the sausage with Mac n' Cheese and I was impressed. I've eaten at the best BBQ's in Texas and their food ranks up there. I highly recommend their food. I WILL be back to order and try their brisket and ribs.

This is a food truck and I think their BBQ is as good or better than the restaurants in the area. Owners are friendly and generous with portions. If you are lucky they may have Dino bones. They smoke their meat on post oak and it's a delicious flavor. Follow their Instagram as they will say where they are on the weekend.

5 star ratingUnfortunately we have not been able to try any of their plates so the 5 stars is just based off customer service! Last night at the AutumnFest in Yucaipa we showed up kind of late and they were completely sold out except for Bbq beans and their street corn (esquite). The lady at the register saw my son and niece with me and offered to just give us some street corn for free so I said of course. She came back with 3 servings of esquite, 2 bbq beans and 2 sprites for the kiddos! Next weekend they will be at the 909 market in Perris so hopefully we make it try some of the bbq meats! It must be good if they sold out! Thanks for esquite and bbq beans New life we all loved it
