Steeped in Tradition
Aqui Es Texcoco brings the Barbacoa tradition from Texcoco, Mexico, to Chula Vista and Pico Rivera. Lamb Barbacoa is slow-cooked for hours in a special oven that replicates the underground fire pit style. This method preserves the rich flavor and makes the dish authentic. Our goal is to share this cultural heritage while offering a reliable and approachable dining experience for families and friends.
The Heart of Barbacoa
Lamb is the most traditional meat for Barbacoa, full of flavor and a healthier choice compared to beef or pork. Preparing it takes time and expertise, which is why many people in Mexico enjoy Barbacoa as a special meal outside the home. Aqui Es Texcoco recreates that experience, making it possible to enjoy slow-roasted lamb with homemade sides and classic Mexican desserts in a casual setting.

Barbacoa is not just food—it’s a social tradition. Our restaurants at 520 Broadway 5 & 6, Chula Vista, CA, and 9340 Whittier Blvd, Pico Rivera, CA, provide a space for families and friends to gather.
