Haley's Review of Riot BBQ
Riot BBQ on South Delaware feels like a backyard cookout run by a Top Chef, because it is. Chef Manny Barella and pitmaster Patrick Klaiber have teamed up to blend Monterrey flavors with Texas-style smoke, and the results are seriously craveable.
The brisket steals the show: tender, deeply smoky, and finished with Barellaโs bold spice rub. Get it solo or wrapped in buttery Raquelita tortillas. The pulled pork brings heat with ancho, guajillo, and morita chiles, and the al pastor ribs are sticky, sweet, and slightly charred in all the right ways.
Even the sides are insanely good! Think crunchy pepita-macha slaw and banana pudding served in a jar that tastes just like childhood (but better). Every bite feels intentional.
Itโs barbecue with heart, history, and just the right amount of heat. Riot BBQ isnโt just a meal, itโs a moment worth lining up for.

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Perdida receives high praise for its flavorful dishes, especially tacos, fajitas, and cocktails, paired with a lively ambiance and friendly, attentive service. The outdoor and rooftop seating are big draws. Some guests mention the pricing as upscale but justified by quality. A few reviews report issues with service and food quality, including one serious incident of food poisoning, but these are rare compared to the many positive experiences.
