About the Author
In 1959, Davila's BBQ was first opened by Raul Davila in an old, abandoned schoolhouse in Seguin, TX. With no decorations and no cash register, the Davila family nestled in the back two rooms of the restaurant and opened for business. Nearly sixty years and three generations later, Davila's BBQ has continued to grow and been nationally recognized as one of the top BBQ places in Texas.
