After a very challenging travel trip to this area, the discovery of 492 BBQ around the corner from…read moremy hotel was a gift. The pulled pork BBQ was exactly on point with its smoke flavor and being tender. The sausage links had snap and just enough smoke. The brisket was tender and full of flavor to just what I wanted. Even the beans were spot on for a very tired and hungry BBQ fan. I look forward to returning to the area for work and are moving 492 BBQ to the top of my places to be sure to return to.

I was in Edinburgh Tx. Decided to stop by this place instead of Rudy's BBQ…read more The server was friendly and knew the menu well. I ordered the 3 taco combo with corn Tortillas. One was brisket, pulled pork and regular sausage with a side of beans. I loved the smoke flavor of the pulled pork and all the meats were moist and juicy. The beans could use more flavor. It was supposed to be to be charro beans but was missing ingredients that could be the reason it was bland. Also ordered the strawberry lemonade and it was delicious. It is served in a large mason jar. Ambience is casual and yes it is a bit chilled inside but with this Texas heat it is understandable. I will not complain about that. Frankly I would prefer this place over Rudy's BBQ. Give a try and tell me what you think.

I checked out their family packages and headed to the drive-through, where Julio helped me pick the perfect Family Value Pack. He was incredibly helpful, answering all my questions--even about the new family pack, El Chapo. It made a huge difference to feel like I was actually being helped rather than just picking up generic food. And let me tell you--the brisket was awesome!! This was a real meal, not just cardboard-tasting fast food. I'll definitely be back for more!

First time stop in McAllen Texas and have been to a lot of great bbq places. If this restaurant…read morewere in Dallas or Austin not sure it would be rated the same. Regardless had a sampling of their brisket, pork ribs and chicken. In order of preference was the chicken, then the ribs and lastly the brisket. I will admit I am kind of a bbq snob. The chicken was moist and cooked very well full of flavor. The ribs were meaty, good flavor but not epic. The brisket needed more of a bark and should not have been sliced as thin as it was. Again good taste, good smoke taste, well priced and no regrets.

Came here for an early dinner. It was quick to be seated. I ordered the Baked Potato with Moist…read moreBrisket, and a side of corn. The baked potato is in the larger side and also came with a generous amount of meat. The meat was seasoned well, however with the size of the potato, there were not enough cheese or sour cream so I would say 2/3 of the potato can use more seasoning or more salt

We arrived very hungry, the restaurant doesn't have a sign, but next to it, there is another cabana…read morethat does have a sign. Turns out that the sign is over the kitchen, and the kitchen is a separate building from the dining area that doesn't have any signs over it. We sat ourselves and ordered drinks. Without ordering our food, the waitress brought us each a bowl of beans, and a bowl of rice. In addition to cold chips, sliced limes, two salsa bottles, and a bowl of pico de gallo. Then we ordered a pound of beef fajitas, a whole chicken, a baked potato topped with beef fajita, and two grilled onions. The chicken was delicious and juicy, the beef fajitas were surprisingly very soft and melt in your mouth, the potato was good, the beans were not seasoned (could use some bacon), the rice was good, and the grilled onion was cooked tender. The bad, were all salt issues: -The chips were cold and salt less. -The pico de gallo had little or no lime, and definitely NO SALT. -The 2 grilled onions we ordered were served cut up in bite size pieces, topped with seasoning salt, (very salty seasoning salt). I prefer you serve the whole onion, (not cut up), for me to add whatever I want, possibly just lime and a light sprinkle of salt.

HUGE servings I got 1/2 lb of beef fajitas but I think she gave me a whole pound and a quarter chicken!Meats were so delicious and seasoned well very tender, came with in-house made corn tortillas, yes in-house made they are so soft and tender with the meats in them they were very delicious.

The pollo asado, be ready to lick your fingers on that one. The fajitas (carne asada) come mixed with some sausage that gives your tacos a flavor that will make you want to smack your momma for not cooking this good. The frijoles a la charra have an awesome bold spice and the Mexican rice is the best I've had that isn't out of my mom's kitchen. I ordered enough food for eight people...eight BIG people and we ate till our bellies were full. They all took leftovers and I still had enough to eat a full lunch with still more pollito to spare.
