- Brownsville is a town in The Rio Grande Valley that is right on the border of Texas and Mexico that's known for its rich cultural fusion. While down in the RGV, Shane visited Vera’s Backyard Bar-B-Que to taste their signature, authentically cooked barbacoa.
Eating Barbacoa on Sunday morning is a tradition!
Definitely I buy my 2 pounds every Sunday.
Yes sir👍👍👍
Slavery was also an tradition. Abolish this filthy habit
It might sound crazy but I need to have flaming hot Cheetos aguacate and mex cheese 🙃
Yessssss
When I was growing up in South Texas the family routine was get at 6 am get ready for Mass after service was over head out to local meat market and buy 2 PD's of barbacoa and corn tortillas my mom would make the flour tortillas and salsa then watch some Johnny canales on t.v. you. Grab ure tacos on the go everybody busy doing something mom's going to HEB my dad is fire up his BBQ pit to cook some fajitas and chicken it's about 2 o'clock it's time to watch the Cowboys play were not the Walton's but life was not so busy that's what makes Texas so special from Brownsville to the Oklahoma border family, food, and football, that's Texas !!
My mother in law loved Johnny Canales.
You need to move to some other place.
We would watch Domingo Pena, and I'm Filipino. Love the barbacoa, with onions and cilantro. Yum. 😆🌮🌯🍻🍺
Yea bro, but these guys are not the Vera's from back in the day.
The original Vera's was on International Blvd, n people would line up for the tripas the most. Tell me I'm wrong.
This is the traditional way that barbecue was done in Texas, where the word bbq "pit" comes from (because it used to be a literal pit in the ground), and also where the word "barbecue" comes from (literally evolved from the word barbacoa). There are pictures of old school barbecuers cooking in a hole in the ground before the steel tank smokers, and before the indoor brick pits. So those of you barbecue enthusiasts out there need to check this place out. This is part of Texas history.
Interesting! Thank you for that!
Nothing like some freshly made corn tortillas and barbacoa! With either a Dr Pepper or ice cold Big red!
You got that right.
U have to have to have a coke my man 🤙🤙
More like a Jarrito de Piña
You got that right Compa with some good HOT salsa. Please make it a long neck glassed bottled Big Red! I'm so hungry!
Mexican coke
Omg yesss! Mrs. Vera, his wife, was my 3rd grade teacher many many years ago ❤ My family still goes there on the weekends ! Barbacoba is the best🥰
She's a member of the church in which I used to teach hymns back in Brownsville! She even asked me to substitute for her classroom like two years ago! d: I gotta visit them again sometime.
Really proud to see one of Brownsville’s oldest restaurants have this exposure! Thank you so much!!😎
Man, this guy is doing it 1000% right!
PURO RIO GRANDE VALLEY 💪💪💪
I LOVE my BROWN TOWN!💕💕💕💕😊
Chingon es el RGV
Puro 956!
I remember when I was young Mom and dad would always buy from Vera's barbeque. So good happy days.
You're gorgeous.
It's nice to see barbecue that isn't drowning in spices or sauce, which has become the norm.
Not to mention they won the James Beard Foundation award
Oh wow I did not know that! That's an honor!
James who?
@@kocahilmi duh it’s an award.
I lived in different parts of Texas from Alpine to Lubbock to Houston. Im originally from Pharr and I might be a little bias but STX has to have the best barbacoa in all of Texas. Besides the barbacoa, Texas is the greatest state in our country.
Texas is not the greatest state in the USA. The USA is not the greatest state in the world. Yeeehaaa!!🤨
The first time I tried barbacoa was in Lubbock in 1987. Got a stack of corn tortillas, a pint of refried beans and a pint of barbacoa from Montelongos off the Clovis hiway. Been eating it ever since. Live SW Houston now and can get it many places. Was raised in Ft Stockton and never ever heard of it there even though it was largely Hispanic.
Man, I've got to head down there.
La baracoba más sabrosa del Valle !!!! Original true to its roots every time I get a chance I make the drive there like this weekend coming up can't wait for Sunday A.M......
The cheek is good but my favorite is the tongue🥰!!
Same here!!!
Ate there after reading about it online the last time we were in the RGV. AWESOME! Worth the trip.
You drove all the way from where to stuff cow tongue in your mouth? What a waste of petrol!
Great BBQ indeed saludos desde Pasadena Texas we stop and get some every time we’re down there! Awesome
Had Barbacoa in Brownsville at the flea market this morning. Just moved here. Best I have ever had. Brownsville is a foodie paradise 😋 Will visit Vera's very soon. On my list.
Update : Made it to Vera's. It IS the best of the best. Service is top notch. Meat is cooked to perfection. Tortilla are amazing. It is an absolute must when in Brownsville.
To me the tongue tastes so good with some cilantro and onions a molcajete salsa omg
Im so proud of Mr Vera!!!!!
I've been eating Barbacoa and buying from Veras for 53 yrs. Awesome
Brownsville in the house 😁😁
I got hungry just watching this video! I live in southeast Texas and there is no place around here with decent barbacoa. I will be down in Brownsville in September to try this place out.
Try La Michoacana meat market. They all over the state.
Brownsville Texas Born and raised ayeeee 🌴 956!!!
THAT'S MY PEOPLE!!! 😍😍❤💞💞💞💪🏼 AND DELICIOUS FOOD!
Your people should stick to making burritos and Cheetos or whatever it is you put in your face!
this is like 2 blocks from my house ❤❤❤❤❤
We used to have our own restaurant a couple of blocks from there (JJ's) which is now a tire shop I believe. Been gone from Brownsville since 91 but hopefully will be back soon. I remember this place as a small kid after going to church at Cristo Rey. Damn, talk about feeling nostalgic.
@@informedconsumer3537 If it was a 2 story place, I remember it. lol
We would buy burgers there when we first moved to this area.
@Angie , where is it located ?
Tongue: "Why won't people give me a chance?"
Me: "I love you!"
I just ate there this past Friday & Saturday, the cachete was fantastic but the menudo was the best I have ever had.
The valley is like an enclave between two countries: United States and Mexico. Everything is different in the valley. Especially the food. Best part of the valley food are the breakfast morning tacos sold at Stripes.....fuken delicious and cheap.
Your standards must be really low, or you must be very young, to conclude that Stripes tacos are amazing. Eddie's tacos and Kan-n-Kegs in Pharr are a much better option. Heck, even Taco Palenque is much better, but more expensive than Stripes.
@@aggie7756 Eddie's tacos taste the same as stripes. I've had both. Only difference is you can get stripes tacos anywhere in the valley. Eddie's tacos are a bit overrated.
@@noughsaid7999 yeah I know Mexican food, especially eating real stuff from Matamoros, stripes tacos are hyped cuz it’s easy, cheap and fast while on the go but little do u know the ingredients are terrible. Usally everything is made from powder foods and the beans too. At its most cheapest and unhealthy quality. Full of gmo’s and other fake shit
@@JohnDoe-jd7mf If you think Matamoros is real Mexican food, boy do you not know the incredible difference in border tex-mex food, and interior of Mexico food. And any fast food is typically not healthy for you, but are stripes tacos tasty, fast, and cheap.....bet your ass they are.
Awesome to see my hometown being shown up on here hopefully most folks on here are from the valley as well lol
Thank you for visiting my home town of BrownTown Brownsville, Tx!!!
I love this channel
Great job with this one, team.
Yeah, getting everyone explosive diarrhea
Lengua please...mouth watering stuff👍
I like the “Tenemos Sesos” sign in the background. The good old “brains”.
I’m from Brownsville Vera is Good but my Favorite Barbacoa is From Cardenas Tortilleria in MorningSide rd my hood since I was a kid
Brownsville? Named after the Great Explosive Diarrhea of 1949, which decimated the city ?
@@kocahilmi Nope, it was named after Major Jacob Brown who fought and died serving the US army in 1848
seriously the best every sunday
Louis Harley Aguilar he should have fought bad taste, the real enemy.
@@louisharleyaguilar4003 kudos to you my friend. You taught the idiot a lesson in history and taste. You got an A in my book!
Went there back in October 2018. 😁👍
Wow! Looks amazing!
Here I am in Arizona and missing the delicious barbacoa from my beautiful home town, Brownsville! Puro 956! 😄
Besides eating tripa barbacoa is the best especially Sunday mornings with the fam
Lo más rico #veras !!saludos de robert
I live in brownsville and never had this ill check it out.
You learn something everyday ill update when I eat some Barbacoa
Lo mejor de Browntown ‼️
I was down there with my family for three years, ate at several places. Never went the but promise I will eat there this winter
The best.. 👍
When people say ewww thats gross. I'm like ok what's the difference of eating any part of the animal? Like the ribs or brisket? Respect to the animal that sacrificed it's life for us. So do not waste ANYTHING of the animal.
Yeah, I never thought I would enjoy the eye, but it became my favorite part! xD
Vera’s the #1 barbacoa place & my favorite!
Wooo Brownsville 🥳🥳🔥👏
IF IT'S VERA IT'S GOT TO BE GOOD👍
My backyard Dude.
Best barbeque , really recommend it 😋😋 !!
Brownsville is a long way from Long Island NY but that will be worth a trip one day. I want that cheek meat with fresh corn tortillas. 😋😋😋😋
Wow this is down my street ! 😳
My hometown
I'm from Waco tx any kind of barbacoa is off da chain wat wat!!!!
I love Vera’s, BrownTown Brownsville, Tx in the house!!!
Good stuff!
Awesome gentleman. See you boys soon.
I would love to try that Vera’s, it looks delicious. Kind of disappointed that they didn’t mention the sesos (brains). It was on the wall for 8.98 per 1/2 lb.
Yeah, eat some brains. Maybe you will realize what kind of disgusting food this is. You are what you eat
@@kocahilmi bruh stop hating, you got a bunch of comments on this video just hating on it. It's a fkn tradition and they are so good at it. This place is 10 min from my house as a James beard award winner I'm proud of them.
Maybe they thought eating eyes is where to draw the line on the show so not lose people if brains were mentioned 🤔🤷🏻♀️
Louis Harley Aguilar listen amigo: there is a reason we Europeans sent out our worst people to the America’s. So our societies would be cleansed of the poor peasants and people without taste and culture. Keep eating that filth, but don’t pretend it’s fine dining, you colonial savage. And besides: it’s called banter, irony. A form of humour yet to be discovered by the Yankees. Dude, I’m just teasing to be short. Relax!
@@kocahilmi Well, if we are what we eat, then...you gotta start eating some brains, man! xD But hey--I'm simply jesting with you! ((;
Los visitaré cuando vaya a ver a mi mamá.
nice, my town, really good stuff!
Very expensive at Veras. Everything sold separately including salsa and cilantro. Lots of places here that have good barbacoa. 12$ per lb with 10 tortillas and salsa.
Yeah, quantity over quality! Say hello to your arteries and liver
@The Texas Bucket List.....Try out Los Naranjos in Weslaco, Tx. on a Sunday morning. Barbacoa is done old school and is similar but different than this style. Menudo is great and made from scratch. They also make and distribute awesome Flour AND Corn Tortillas. Great food no matter what you get.
I like your videos
Barbacoa and BIG RED!!!! I think this should be 1 of the many States official Food! Plus avocados y salsa y pos corn or flour tortillas!!! Oh and chi-cha-ron-ies!! 🇺🇸🤠
The ojos are the best part
Tongue Yum! Best part of beef....
Lo mejor de lo mejor puro veneno gracias por el vídeo
Where’s the location, I live here in Brownsville and never have known where this place is
It’s in Southmost In front of the church
@@alexmolina3940 OH yeah, in front of the church....got it! 😉.....(100 churches in the southmost area...😏)
I love eating the eye & tongue!
Repping Weslaco tx rgv!
I was born there.
Yes sir!!!👍
Best barbacoa in Brownsville, Tx.! It's a must for Sunday morning breakfast since I was a kid!😍🙌🌮
#Southmost
La world famous Southmost. 956
The owner funny afff
Excelente barbacoa muy sabrosa la recomiendo
Rio hondo Tx in the house !!!!
I miss the valley food
I’m moving to Texas.
From where? Ethiopia?
They know we exist!
Taco de ojo es el mejor man!
Mr. Armando forgot to mention the BBQ was actually started by his Uncle Alfonso Vera on Fronton Street, from their his other Uncle Eduardo from VERA’S. Fruit & Meat Market on International Blvd he used to make it just like that & also those famous Tripas on Friday & Saturday. I was sad when he didn’t mention the rest of the VERA’S Family who really started all this but that’s ok at least a Vera got recognized for a tradition my uncle & grandpa started. 🥴
Dam hungry again
Again? 3 meals a day is not enough for ya?
Tried the ojo after reading Daniel Vaughn write about it. You can totally see why people like it - fatty and full of flavor.
Did you eat it in a tortilla or by itself? Do you get the pair?
@@yvette.3075 A little bit of both. Good on its own, but great in a flour tortilla
Ahh man I Gotta go try it!
Stick to pork and beans.
He said besides we have nothing to prove ! Hes not eating the eyes 😆
i bet this is fucking tasty...hmmmmm 5:27 ..thank you bro for this surprise video..God bless Brownsville
Sooo!!!!!
Let me ax a silly question,
Would a brisket cooked in a hole in the ground be considered a traditional barbacoa??? Or does it have to be a cabeza??
That's the way, cooked underground
Don’t judge until you try Thas good food right there
Don’t judge, eat pig feces, you might like it!
Lmao that's perfectly out about the barbacoa being like marijuana lol 🤣
Excuse me shame but can you go to Santa Rosa tx and give us a tour
Going to get some
Iiiiiiiiijueeeesuuuuu ya me dio hambre 🙌
I'm new to south Texas is there any good places in Harlingen
Mmm lengua!!!💓💓💓
I wonder for how long he cooked that for?
He's amazed that cow tastes like beef, your so funny gringo
You should check out luau drive inn in mission texas it's been there since like the 60's really good food there
You should check your taste buds on your tongue and ask yourself a simple question: is there a faster way to clog my arteries?
The Cuban box is the only way to cook whole hogs and heads
Finally
