Rancho Nipomo Barbeque was founded in 2006 with a unique vision of bringing a different kind of BBQ to the Santa Maria Valley. Sure, we still have the traditional tri-tip smoked in red oak, but also the traditional slow smoked pork and beef specialties inspired by the country’s best smokehouses from Coast to Coast.Carefully smoked for many hours, the food is as delicious as it is different. A unique selection of California Style, Hispanic cuisine, featuring the diverse culture of the Central Coast. Favorites include the popular pulled-pork sandwich, BBQ pork ribs, burgers, vaquero tacos and burritos.​Come in and enjoy the warm hospitality inherent to this area and the taste of California, while experiencing the local history of the El Camino Real.
