Our Fire

Barbecue from the west side, built on patience.

Dondo's is a small, family-run smokehouse on Castroville Rd — no shortcuts, no gas assist, no filler. We light the pit before the sun and slice when the bark says it's ready.

"If we sell out, we sell out. That's just how it goes when you cook like this."

Come By

Find us on Castroville Rd.

We open when the meat's ready and close when it's gone. Come early — weekend brisket usually sells out by mid-afternoon.
