Ephen Tacos Smokehouse Junction

I had the day special. Shrimp tacos. COD tacos.
They both grilled to perfection.
The flavors are just perfect. Just enough to enhance the meat and not over flavored it.
Many restaurants put tons of salt and ruin the meats.
The tacos were delicious!

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

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!

This place is amazing. The staff is laid back and kind-hearted. The food was just absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend that if you haven't tried the food here yet, you should go try it out. FYI, they have beer. Also, a kids menu. Thank you, guys, for the excellent service and delicious food!!!!

The tri tip dinner with cream corn and macaroni salad was all ridiculously tasty! Prime rib dinner was tasty but a bit light on the portion of prime rib. Came with a lot of sides: a good salad, their delicious creamed corn, baked potato with just butter, roll, and cream of mushroom soup that was lacking in flavor. The tri tip dinner and prime rib dinner are both quite pricey. In my opinion the tri tip dinner is worth it (I’ve gotten it 5 times in the three weeks I’ve been here) and the prime rib wasn’t.

Uniquely amazing food! We had the Mac stack and the bbq tri-tip sandwich. Good quality. Great customer service. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. I will be coming back for more. Thank you!

Outstanding Piggyback sandwich, fresh broccoli & cheese soup. Delicious Lemonade I can’t wait to go back & try more menu items🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 all with Great service thanks guys 😁

The smoked brisket tacos, tri tip sandwich, shrimp tacos, and cod tacos are delicious! The meat is very tende. Also the shrimp and cod are cooked perfectly. They have specials each day of the week which is a great deal on taco Tuesday and Friday. Can't wait to try the ribeye and prime rib dinners! Don't forget to get a punch card!!!

I had the Ribeye steaks dinner and the portion was very generous. Great place to stop by to our from Manzanar visit center.

Discovered this gem last year while taking a day off from hiking the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) & look forward to it every time I pass through Ridgecrest. Everything's amazing no matter but my absolute fave is the smoked portobello street taco followed closely by the smoked mac * cheese.

Guys, GUYS, GUYS!!! Hands down, very pleasant surprise of how good the food is here. We here we a group of friends it was a really good food and hospitality.

Thank you.

I had the smoked Mac Burrito and really enjoyed it. We didn't get tacos this time around.

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.

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.

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.

The combination of BBQ and tacos was awesome! The food was outstanding, plus I had never eaten in a car wash bay before.

Had the brisket sandwich and it was too die for! Food was quick, restaurant was clean, and everyone was nice as can be! Definitely reccomend their barbecue

The place looks kinda sketchy from the outside, but these tacos are deeeelicious. I tried three, cod, potato, and mushroom, all were quite tasty. Surprisingly the mushroom was my favorite, most Mexican places can't do mushrooms right. Has a large patio with couches to chill on, I enjoyed myself.

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.
