Lovers of El Sancho have a number of places to enjoy the food—from the newest Galveston Avenue location to the east side taco shop on Dekalb, to the cart at Crux Fermentation Project and its traveling cart seen at events. Now, there’s another location to (occasionally) add to the list: El Sancho’s “Super Secret Side Street Saloon” opening to the public this week on SW Century Drive. The space will largely be used as a commissary kitchen, but this week, it’s also home to a three-day pop-up event for its barbecue operation, Run Around Sue Barbecue. The pop-up featuring barbecue meats, tacos, sandwiches and sides—plus cocktails—happens Dec. 16-18 from 11am until sold out, or 9pm.

El Sancho will use the new Century Drive space for more pop-ups throughout the winter months, according to its Instagram page. Check out @elsanchobend and @runaroundsuebarbecue on Instagram for the latest info on upcoming pop-up events.
