2Fifty Texas BBQ — Washington
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
2Fifty Texas BBQ is a wood-only smokehouse in downtown Washington doing Texas barbecue with Latin-American sides and a daily sell-out habit.
Fernando González and Debby Portillo — Salvadoran by background, Central Texas by method — run 2Fifty as a wood-only operation, and it's regularly named among the best barbecue in the DC area. The K Street counter smokes brisket and dino ribs over oak and pairs them with sides that lean Latin American rather than the usual slaw. They sell out most days; pre-order or take your chances. Closed Tuesdays.
