Vera's Backyard -b-que - Brownsville

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.

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 appreciated. Only open Friday thru Sunday till 2:30. GOTTA TRY IT!

It was said that this is the way to the square for Barbacoa and I was not disappointed. Adella, the wife of the pit master, was so friendly and helped me choose the perfect Barbacoa sampling of Lengua, Cachete and Carnitas. Says with the staff and moats at the food. I felt welcome. Would like to go back. Note, came Saturday at 10:30 and came in directly. It was said Sunday was crazy.

We had the cache, they were from Lengua, ran out early. Tortillas and salsa. A treat if you get down like that! My parents often come here, especially when the visitors are in town.

Great experience I went to Vera's based on the Texas Monthly Top 50 rankings. Very well deserved from an overall quality perspective, but IMHO, this place should be Top 10 because it is so unique. How they say it's a world of copycat and how many Central Texas BBQ Franklin wants to be, do we really need? Vera's is a unique BBQ experience all different cuts of meat, very beautifully smoked, but very different from the traditional brisket, sausage, ribs Holy Trinity, which we know so well. Great place for anyone looking for a high-quality protein heavy meal. Absolute Nirvana for the BBQ aficionado looking for something else.
