Born and raised in El Paso, Gonzalez is not new to the delicious food that Texas has to offer. After spending years in the trucking business with his father, he decided it was time to open his own restaurant and bring authentic, slow-smoked Texas-style barbecue to the great people of El Paso. The El Paso location will be the first of many other locations to come that are opened by Gonzalez. “I'm excited to open this Dickey’s location because I want to bring an authentic style of barbecue and restaurant to El Paso,” says Hugo Gonzalez.
