Balboa Team Brings the Heat for a Great Cause

Last weekend, the Smoke & Grill Team at Balboa turned up the heat as they competed in a local barbecue competition to support CRIT Baja California. This nonprofit provides essential care to children with disabilities, cancer, and autism.

But this wasn’t just about good BBQ, it was about passion, teamwork, and making a difference. Our incredible crew didn’t just show up to cook; they showed up to serve, embodying what it means to be part of a community that lifts others up.

The result? 1st Place for People’s Choice!

We’re not just proud of their trophy; we’re proud of their purpose. At Balboa, giving back is part of who we are. We’re honored to have team members who step up and champion causes that bring real change to the lives of children and families.

Meet the team behind the win:
