Pennie’s is worth the trip to Galveston

“Generations of Galvestonians and Mainland residents stopped into Pennie’s for tamales and barbacoa. Customers from as far away as New York, California and Colorado would arrive with ice chests to fill with tamales to take home.”

Galveston Monthly

“The family recipe of barbacoa and popular tamales took center stage, but the raw meat counter was abandoned in favor of serving smoked meat. “I loved to barbecue,” Moreno told me, so he added the new wrinkle in Pennie’s updated identity.”

Texas Monthly

“Pennie’s Tex Mex Take Out has a big reputation of serving up savory plates of Tex-Mex cuisine”

-The Texas Bucket List

Best BBQ in Galveston Texas

We refuse to compromise on quality in our restaurant. Our BBQ is made fresh daily and we do not serve left over meat. The tamales are made in house. We work hard to provide home made fresh food for our customers. On that note, we DO SELL OUT.
