Vera's Backyard Bar-b-que - Brownsville - Photo album
We literally drove from Houston to Brownsville for the weekend because hubs has been drooling over this place for a hot minute. It did not disappoint.
This place truly has the best barbacoa I've ever had thus far. Another great brunch idea Fri Sat sun only. Close at 2. Try the pound of cachete. The flour tortillas, and either a coke or big red should go perfectly with it. Also, the owners gave us a free sample of carnitas! The way he made them, wi
Drove 1 hour and 30 minutes to go have Vera's barbacoa. Best food I have had. The owner is very friendly.
We came on Friday at 11 and they were out of Brisket already for this week. (They open on Thursday). So we decided we would come back next week. BUT this customer came out and said you can brisket anywhere but this is the #1 spot for barbacoa- recieved the James Beard award. He recommended we ge
My mouth waters when I think of this place. Saw this on the Texas Bucket List show, and my husband and I gave it a try. Truly the best cachete (cheek meat from a cow) I've ever had! The staff is above and beyond. Mr. & Mrs. Vera are down to earth and make their customers feel welcome and apprec
I regret not having visited Vera's until recently despite having moved to the valley 4 years ago. The food here is absolutely fantastic from the meats to the salsas, and the staff is extremely friendly. I spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon here enjoying the delicious food with a friend, and we
Awesome experience - I went to Vera's based on the Texas Monthly Top 50 ranking. Very well-deserved from an overall quality perspective, but IMHO, this place should be top 10 because it's so unique. As they say, it's a copycat world and how many Central Texas BBQ-Franklin's wanna-be's do we really n
Yum!
Cheap and delicious eats !
Menu is a little unclear to the first timer, especially if you aren’t fluent in Spanish ;)
The main guy behind the counter was super nice, explained the menu , and even gave us a sample of the carnitas.
As we were leaving we even saw the cashier taking orders outside
I've been on a couple of occasions. The first time I went was during the Texas monthly BBQ passport. Amazing! Great people and even better barbacoa.
I've searched and tasted many Barbacoa locations. This location is definitely one of the best. We ordered:
The Lengua- tender and moist. Cooked perfectly. Not dry. Not many can do that.
Cachete/Especial- The taste sets it apart from the rest. They definitely take pride in the preparation. Very ten
Was told this is the go to place for barbacoa and I wasn’t disappointed. Adella, the wife of the pit master, was so friendly and helped me choose the perfect barbacoa sampling of lengua, cachete, and carnitas. Chatted with the staff and patrons while dining. Made me feel welcomed. Would gladly go ag
Vera's backyard BBQ is a well kept secret in Brownsville Texas in the 2400 block of Southmost Road and it shouldn't be. The brisket was a nice balance of lean and moist and with just a touch of BBQ sauce or salsa ( hot or flavorful depending on how much heat you want) to set it off.
It is served w
We had the Cachete, they were out of lengua, run out early. Tortillas and salsa. A treat to get when down this way!!! My parents come here often, especially when visitors are in town.
If can make it, you definitely need to drop by this place. Friendly people, wonderful food. Good thing they're only open on the weekends, otherwise I'd be here all week.
Without a doubt the best barbacoa I've ever had. I'll be sure to stop by here every time I come to Brownsville.
