Rock & Ribs Smokehouse, Texas barbecue restaurant in Palermo, Argentina
Rock & Ribs Smokehouse is a barbecue restaurant in Palermo specializing in Texas-style American smoking techniques. The kitchen operates a large smoker fueled by quebracho and espinillo wood, allowing the team to cook and smoke meat with distinctive flavors.
The establishment was founded by a Texan entrepreneur who previously ran El Tejano. It marked the arrival of the first dedicated smokehouse restaurant in Argentina, bringing authentic American barbecue traditions to the country.
Rock music plays throughout the dining space, creating a laid-back soundtrack for meals. Wooden flying pig decorations hang from the ceiling, adding a whimsical touch to the Texas-inspired setting.
The restaurant operates from noon through 1 AM on weekdays and Sunday, with weekend service extending until 2 AM on Friday and Saturday. Reservations are recommended, especially during weekend evenings when the place fills up quickly.
The signature St. Louis cut ribs spend 12 hours in the smoker, resulting in portions that dwarf those at other barbecue spots in the city. This extended smoking time creates ribs that are thicker and more flavorful than what most diners expect.
