The dominant flavors of Costillas BBQ are savory, smoky, sweet, and tangy. The slow cooking process renders the pork incredibly tender and infuses it with a deep smoky flavor. The BBQ sauce adds layers of sweetness, acidity, and spice.
The pork ribs contribute a rich, meaty savoriness. Smoke from wood (hickory, mesquite, applewood are common) imparts depth and complexity. The BBQ sauce, often homemade, features a balance of sweetness (brown sugar, molasses, honey), acidity (vinegar, lemon juice), spiciness (chili powder, cayenne pepper), and umami (Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce). Patatas fritas (french fries) offer a salty and starchy counterpoint to the richness of the ribs.

Slow and Low Cooking
Cook the ribs at a low temperature (around 225-250°F) for an extended period (3-6 hours) to break down the connective tissue and render the meat incredibly tender.
Use a Meat Thermometer
A meat thermometer is essential for ensuring the ribs are cooked to the desired level of doneness. The internal temperature should reach around 190-203°F for maximum tenderness.
Homemade BBQ Sauce
While store-bought BBQ sauce can be convenient, making your own allows you to customize the flavors to your liking and create a truly unique dish. Experiment with different combinations of sweet, acidic, spicy, and umami ingredients.
Wood Choice
Different types of wood impart different flavors to the ribs. Experiment with hickory, mesquite, applewood, or cherry wood to find your preferred flavor profile.
