After more than 20 years in San Antonio, Owner/Operator Agustin Tellez, Jr. decided to turn his dream into a reality and open his own restaurant. “This is something that I have always wanted to pursue, but wanted to approach the process thoroughly,” shares Agustin. After noticing the lack of quality slow-smoked barbecue in the area, he found the perfect option through Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. Agustin also owns and operates an engineering firm in the area. “Isela and I are excited to bring a convenient catering and lunch option to the surrounding business community. We have been working tirelessly to get to know our future guests and welcome them to our newest endeavor.”

The new San Antonio location can be found at 7431 NW Loop 410, Suite 115 San Antonio, TX 78245. The phone number is 210-239-1823.
