Today we’d like to introduce you to Jaime Sosa.
Hi Jaime, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My name is Jaime. I am 27, Owner and Pit Master for Sosa’s Barbecue. We have been in business since 2017. I am working towards my dream with family, friends, hard work, and ambition on my side, I strive to bring good quality smoked barbecue to the Oak Cliff area and all over DFW. Born and raised in Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas. I started falling in love with barbecue back in 2016. Found myself in crossroads of working in the oil fields or pursing my dream of being a Pit Master. Sosa’s is a family-oriented and operated business based out of Dallas. I run around the DFW area on a massive mobile smoker with my right-hand man, younger brother, Josh River Sosa. We travel all over to provide the best. Also, working hard to support businesses, big or small, with superior caterings. Many family events and parties are hosted by our amazing smoker. She is the true definition of beautiful. So, here we are just trying to live our best life. Working day and night to provide the best barbecue in the metroplex.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Honestly, doing what we do has not been easy. Every day is a challenge especially when you’re working with only a group of two to three of us. There are days that we have so much work to do that we have to mentally and physically prepare each other. This line of work, staying up all night to check the smoker and meats, staying up all day to serve, clean, and put in work, isn’t easy. No sleep until we’re satisfied with the job well done. Luckily my family is my team and my rock. They are what pushes me to keep going. I’m working on building a smoked empire for them.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Sosa’s Barbecue?
Sosa’s barbecue is focused on having quality smoked meats for families and friends to enjoy. When we smoke and serve our meats, we want Sosa’s to be the first thought in your head when you think of barbecue. We specialize in serving smoked prime brisket, smoked spare ribs, chicken, jalapeño sausage, smoked turkeys, and so much more! I feel like what sets me apart from others is my passion for the barbecue. I don’t just have the meat sit in the smoker; I actually care for what it is. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to making sure our food is serious fire. Anything less isn’t good enough to serve. I’m proud of working on my expansion, especially through the pandemic, I even have loyal customers who look for me when I’m off. That makes me proud that I know someone out there is wanting my food.
Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
The most important lesson I’ve learned throughout my journey so far is that if my consistency falls off the grid, even by a little, my hard work goes waste. My customers notice all of this. Me, myself, I notice the difference when it comes to my meat, my support, and my orders. No consistency means no love. No love for the work, no love for the people, no love for the drive. Without consistency, I would not be where I am today.
