🎉National Fajita Day at J Bar M was a success! Thank you to our 🌟Houston Fajita All Stars🌟& our 💫Houston Fajita Rising Stars!💫
We were able to gather an incredible lineup and give out fajitas to the community. Our Rising Stars were able to show their chops while our All Stars brought the heat… literally! Folks came out to meet and greet with some of Houston’s best chefs. Of course, Houston showed his hospitality as well welcoming a celebrated chef from out of town… what better way to celebrate than through community passion, partnership, y una pachanga!

J-Bar-M Barbecue on Leeland Street in Houston is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves classic Texas smokehouse and barbecue favorites. The lead pit master, Chuy Ortiz, and his team produce craft barbecue that combines Central Texas-style brisket with house-made sausage and traditional barbecue dishes like pork spareribs, turkey, smoked chicken, and pulled pork.
Executive chef Pablo Contreras leads the kitchen in creating steakhouse-style favorites, weekly features using smoked meats from the pit team, and other savory dishes that will leave the whole family satisfied. The restaurant also offers an excellent wine menu, craft cocktails like their signature Smoked Old Fashioned, and craft beer to accompany your meal.
But J-Bar-M Barbecue isn't just about the food - it's also a great place to hang out with friends and family. The restaurant has a kid-friendly and dog-friendly outdoor area where you can enjoy free live music while taking in the skyline view. And if you're planning a party or event, J-Bar-M Barbecue has semi-private sections of the restaurant or beer garden available for booking as well as a private dining room and adjacent patio.
