Texas-Style BBQ Joint Finds Home In Costa Mesa

COSTA MESA, CA — A new Texas-style barbecue restaurant just opened its doors in Costa Mesa, after Holé Smokes was welcomed into the community during its Thursday grand opening.

The restaurant was founded by Ian Bascon, a restauranteur who leads day-to-day operations at his family's Mexican restaurant, Holé Molé, and chef Dan Ramon, a Texas native and BBQ enthusiast, The Orange County Register reported.

The menu features brisket, tri tip, pulled pork, smoked shrimp, St. Louis-style ribs and chicken — all of which can be purchased per plate (with one or two sides), or by the half-pound.

Plates come with staple sides such as mac and cheese, broccoli slaw, potato salad, beans, chips and queso and fries.

All meats are smoked at the restaurant using pecan and oak logs, according to the website.

Holé Smokes is located at 1500 Adams Ave Ste 100B and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
