Encultura in California

"This place is awesome. Good food, good drinks and a nice environment. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The appetizer of guacamole with burnt ends was a good fusion dish. Can’t wait to come back and try more items."

"I had the ½ chicken and it was almost moist- may have been a cooked a bit ago. The BBQ flavor is very mild but present. It came with pickled onions and jalapenos- and those were ok as well. The sauces are excellent and you can tell they put their heart there. The rice and beans side was bland and nothing to talk about. A bit expensive for what you get."

"BBQ is definitely what you want to get here. The burnt ends and guacamole were a different combination but it was delicious. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely recommend"

"Was finally able to catch this place open. Ordered the BBQ platter which comes with brisket, half chicken, pickled veggies, mashed potatoes, and Mac n cheese. The brisket was smokey and tender. The chicken was moist and charred/crispy on the outside. The pickled veggies had the perfect amount of spice and tangyness. The platter also came with their BBQ sauce and their salsas (red and green). Everything item complemented each other perfectly. We have a new favorite spot at the packing district."

"Everything at Encultura BBQ was smoked to perfection! The brisket bowl was absolute heaven — layers of creamy mashed potatoes on the bottom soaking up all that rich, smoky flavor from the brisket. The brisket burger was incredibly juicy and mouthwatering, packed with that perfect BBQ char. If you want to sample a bit of everything, the BBQ platter is definitely the way to go — every meat was tender, flavorful, and expertly smoked. And don’t skip the Pineapple Prohibition drink — it’s massive, refreshing, and totally lives up to its name. An amazing find inside the Anaheim Packing District!"

"Amazing! We left a different BBQ place and came here and was so worth it. We had the the wagyu chili cheese nachos, smoked wagyu birria burger, bbq brisket burger and the prime brisket bowl and everything was amazing. So good we forgot to take pictures. I'm so happy we ended up here and we would definitely come back. Great, happy, fast service and good vibes. Yall were amazing!"

"Delicious! I stumbled upon this place while standing in line for another restaurant. I’m so glad my senses told me to go over there. The staff were super friendly and inviting. They offered free samples. The brisket was so tender. I will be back! Thank you guys!"

"We came as a party of five on the recommendation of another local chef and were absolutely delighted that we made this the closing meal of our week in LA! The brisket, picanha, and burnt ends were all spot on. One of us doesn’t really enjoy meat and still had a great time with all the lovely sides. Chef Jess made a personal recommendation to complete the meal with a banana pudding, which rounded the palate and we left the place in our happy places. Thank you, chefs and crew, for being our highlight in LA and giving us a feeling of family at the table!"
