BUCAN RODEO

521 E Grayson St, San Antonio, TX 78215

Bucan Rodeo is a standout San Antonio food truck known for blending Puerto Rican flavors with Texas barbecue techniques. Operating out of Three Star Bar, the concept has gained a strong following for its creative fusion menu, featuring items like pork belly burnt end tacos, smoked meats, and slow-roasted pernil.

Founded by chefs Michael Barrera and Roy Baker, this local favorite delivers bold, smoky flavors that combine traditional Caribbean seasonings with mesquite-fired barbecue. The popular pop-up frequently draws crowds and often sells out, making it a must-visit spot for those looking to try something unique in the SA food scene.
