Review of Zavala's Barbecue

An amazing hole in the wall establishment with some of the best BBQ in Texas. The ribs are the best I’ve had in DFW, and the hominy is amazing. The menu isn’t labeled, but most of it is gluten free. They couldn’t vouch for all the spices used, but when I checked the labels they looked 100% gluten free. Bonnie, the owner and wife of the pit master, went out of her way to look after me and make sure she went into detail about all the food and how it was made. She even insisted her staff change gloves and get out a new cutting board, just to be safe. I highly enjoyed myself and felt entirely safe!
