Vera's Backyard Bar-B-Que

Ive tasted better barbacoa this was alright a bit dry. Doesn't come with salsa you have to buy it apart wich is weird because anywhere else the salsa goes with any food. Also have to buy the tortillas apart. Wouldn't come back here again also the one that attended me had a bit of attitude.

Tasty barbacoa and menudo with all the fixings. Pay per item. So be sure not to forget your salsas and tortillas. Excellent service with momma giving me a complimentary sampler bowl of carnitas.

I have finally been here!!!! The barbacoa is on point. We had the cachete lengua mix. You can definitely tell the quality of their cooking skills. It was perfect on a tortilla with the cilantro and cebolla and salsita. The meat texture was on point and the service was incredible. Super nice people and the owner told some time out to allow us to take a selfie. I ate ojo for the first time and it was so good. My father in law talked about knowing the owners dad. A great place for the food and the experience. You have to come. Same place it’s been at for decades!!!!

Vera's has some of the best barbacoa in the RGV. It's surprising that not many people know of this place. The barbacoa is made in el poso (hole)which helps the flavor concentrate. They offer menudo, carnitas, brisket and of course barbacoa. Best place to take the family to in the weekend!
