Mesquite-smoked favorites and traditional family recipes, making hungry people happy since 1959.
I am a third generation BBQ restaurateur at Davila's BBQ in Seguin, as well as BBQ Chef and Pit Master. My
grandfather, Raul Davila, started Davila's BBQ more than half a century ago, in 1959. He passed on the
family tradition of preparing smoked BBQ to my father, Edward Davila, who passed it on to me.
Our Latino family culture is deeply embedded at the root of making the best BBQ in Texas. It's about tradition and
family pride. I am proud of my Mexican-American ethnicity and to be bilingual in Spanish. My grandfather and
father's hardworking business values were instilled in me. I learned the family BBQ preparations techniques at a
young age – skills that I practice every day.
My entire youth was spent working at our BBQ restaurant and learning my family's special BBQ recipes. I can
prepare everything on our menu to perfection and have created my own unique BBQ recipes for the restaurant, as
well.
At Davila's BBQ, I serve as the restaurant spokesperson. I have appeared on KSAT 12’s SA Live, WOAI News 4’s San Antonio Living and
KENS-5’s Great Day SA. I was featured as a judge on the Travel Channel’s show American Grilled and as a contestant on the
Food Network show BBQ Blitz “Texas Takedown” where I won first place.
I have also been featured in articles on the San Antonio Express-News, MySA, SanAntonio Magazine and the Seguin Gazette to name a few.
It important to me and my family, that Davila's BBQ continues to grow in the hearts of our customers
throughout the heart of Texas and beyond.
