Ephen Tacos Smokehouse Junction, Ridgecrest CA

Amazing! We ordered brisket tacos, the Smoked Mac and cheese and the loaded Baked potato with Brisket Southern BBQ style. It was very very good. They serve the potato in a to go container because it is so overloaded. I meant to take a picture but we ate it before we could.

I have been all over the US and never had anything like this! Smoked BBQ TACOS! Brisket, chicken, pork to name a few. The mac and cheese will change your life! Worth the 2 hour drive for me!

You walk in and you are greeted with such a pleasant aroma! The staff was friendly and informative. The food was delicious! The sweet tea hit the spot (loved the diet ice!)! I will be eating here again. I am going to check and see if they are on a delivery app.

This place is amazing. The food is so, so good, the meat is super tender and flavorful, habanero hot sauce brings it in a big way, and there’s a big patio to sit and enjoy it. Smoked Mac burrito and tri-tip bbq sandwich both 10/10

I don’t know what they do for the potato wedges, but I’ve never tasted better. The bbq was very good, too. No wait staff. Order from counter at kitchen…. They were very courteous. If you are looking for fine dining atmosphere, this isn’t your place! Prices very reasonable along with portions.

Delicious American BBQ & tacos. The mac n cheese burrito is a great choice, but so is the ribeye sandwich (very garlicky but very tasty). Shrimp, cod, and brisket tacos are great; pork not quite as flavorful. Definitely worth a visit or two!

The food was really great! I would recommend anyone to come here to grab something quick and good to eat, I would definitely recommend the tacos for 3$!

Very courteous staff.
The food is awesome.
A place not to be missed.
I highly recommend the prime rib, and the a jus tacos. Wow!

Great spot for a lunch after driving out of Death Valley. Pork Belly taco was my favorite but brisket taco/burrito we're very tasty too. Make sure to try the Habanero hot sauce if you like spice! Friendly atmosphere for a good, filling, lunch!

Great local taco spot. Pork Belly tacos were delicious, brisket tacos and brisket burrito all super tasty and if you like spice try their habanero hot sauce on!
Great option if coming from Death Valley for a good lunch! Chef knows what he's doing with flavors.

The brisket was burnt! Way over priced for their food. Out of lemonade and ice tea. Only can sodas! Took 45 min for our order. We won’t be back.

Great food. Friendly staff. Inside and outside seating available. Pork belly tacos are so good. The smoked mac is very good too. Definitely a must have if you're in the Ridgecrest area.

Nice little spot to eat, tables inside and outside. Decorated in a unique way.
Customer service was good.

Food was only ok. I ordered a meat platter with chicken that was very dry and tasted of charcoal. The other two meats were fine alongside bread that was a bit burnt too. Was expecting a bit more for the price of the dish.

Very good bbq meat and large (also local) beer choice.
Fantastic mac and cheese grilled pie + try absolutely the lemonade! Very kind and polite staff- they are very friendly!
