The restaurant is very clean and they take your order very quickly. They have lots of options to pick from. Although they were out of Mac and cheese which is the main reason I came here (The Trinity Sandwich). They were also out of water at both soda machines. They were also out of hand sanitizer. The BBQ was really good, the brisket, pulled pork, and sausage were all really good. The mashed potatoes were very bland and not very creamy. The waffles fries were amazing. The Elote did not have a lot of flavor and was mainly just the cream flavor. Overall the people working were really nice and the main food was good. read more

My wife and I visit Reyna's BBQ and Cocina about once a week. Their lunch specials are always delicious and very affordable, which makes it easy to keep coming back. The staff is consistently welcoming, and Andrea deserves a special mention -- she's always helpful, upbeat, and brings such a positive energy to the place. We also appreciate that they honor military discounts. Reyna's has become one of our go‑to spots, and we're grateful for the great food and great service. read more

I used to love Reyna's in Harlingen. The food was wonderful. I ate there yesterday, and sadly it will be the last time. I ordered the lean brisket tacos plate. what I received looked like no other brisket I'd ever seen. the color was weird, and it tasted like it was boiled, and as an afterthought put on a grill for a minute. I cut off enough fat to fill the bowl my beans were in. My friend got a brisket plate, and I saw her spit out several pieces in her napkin that were so fatty that she couldn't chew She kept apologizing for having to do that. My meal cost $17 with tax and was way overpriced for what I received. The staff was really nice, but the food (brisket) was awful! There were also a lot of flies in the restaurant. I will not eat there again. read more

Very nice, very clean, great service, great menu choices, full bar and nice people. Had a great lunch while passing through and plan to return tomorrow! read more

Half of my order was missing. It should not be difficult to read the receipt and put the items in the bag.

The food really is good. Pulled pork very lean. A plus. Friendly people, personable. Clean. Only problem I had, someone has a heavy hand with the salt shaker. Both pork and Mac and cheese. read more

Stopped by for lunch and walked in and turned around and walked out. The kitchen staff was standing there eating food with their hands wearing the same gloves they were using to prep customer's orders. Very disappointed. So gross and unsanitary. read more

Place is full of flies. Mexican food menu was out of order. Onions and pickle bar a mess. Staff is disinterested in their job and customers. read more

My first time here. From the time I walked in I was greeted with kindness. The menu is pretty extensive with lots to offer. The place itself is very clean and the employees all have a good attitude. The food was fresh, hot with good flavor. I would definitely go back to eat here. Thank you management for a good staff and providing a great eating experience. read more

The last two times we have eaten here, the brisket has been bland with barely any flavor at all. They were also stingy with their brisket servings in my sandwich and on my potato. Now it's just another mediocre restaurant. read more

Great gem of a BBQ stop. Busy but very efficient. A full bar on the side. Nice extras at an affordable price. We shall return. Follow us on youtube at Coolest Life. read more

Reyna’s BBQ & Cocina - Chop beans and cole slaw - Barbeque Near Me - Harlingen, Texas

Service was quick, chopped bbq sandwich was delicious and has a sweet bbq sauce, not too smokey or spicy (just how i like it). Real potatoes with gravy! The coleslaw has a vinegary mayo base, not too sweet. Loved the creamy potato salad and pecan pie. Would get everything again except the coleslaw, which was good but not my favorite style (i'm a fan of a "Kentucky" style). read more

Worst BBQ potatoe ever! I don't know how you get potatoe skin black and the inside just about raw. Their potatoes are never done to my liken, but this one, you could actually taste the raw potatoe. Crunch, Crunch read more

Counter staff was friendly and the beef and chicken fajitas tacos were good. The restaurant need more staff for a Friday night to work the dining room. Tables were dirty. I had to ask for one to be cleaned. Fork, knife dispenser was empty. Part of the order was brought out late. Staff looked like they were trying to but not able to get everything done. This Reyes is not like the one in Weslaco. read more

Food is just fare. Got my order and everything was cold, the meat and mashed potatoes. Definitely had better BBQ!

Moist brisket sandwich was dry asf super dry didn't complain just went and bought another and it was the same hella dryyyyyyy

Reyna BBQ is a locally owned bar and grill restaurant in the valley, I have not been to this particular establishment myself, so I had high hopes for my initial review of this restaurant. Located in Harlingen, Texas, this little Texas BBQ restaurant prides itself on "traditional and local spices" and "smoked prime brisket and meats". Unfortunately, I am underage, and I cannot drink alcohol, so I will be judging my review on food and nonalcoholic drinks. Walking in, I was in for a pleasant surprise; it looked modern, clean, and it exceeded my expectations for a bar and grill. After my Intal view my expectations and excitement were high and truly believe I found something special. The service was impressive for RGV standards, talking to the front of house was a pleasant experience, they were friendly, patient, clean, and helpful and it was exceptional. Moving onto the cleanliness, it was beautiful, inspecting multiple tables, floors, and counters I could not find a spec of crumb or spot of grease, they even personally inspected my table to ensure it has been cleaned. With a clean restaurant and a magnificent staff my expectations were high and optimistic... unfortunately that is where the complements stop, starting with the sides: Although mac & cheese is a staple side for any BBQ establishment, a gooey, cheese filled pasta complimented with the chief's choice of additives... this failed to capture that experience. Not only are you served a micro sized portion (unfortunately this is a common occurrence with the sides), but you can only taste cheese and no seasoning, on top of that I would not doubt if this was from a can, the macaroni was just mush and had no type of seasoning, the taste can be compared to the amount of love they out in it, non-existent. As for the peach cobbler, it is sub-par at best, my first bite and the only thing I can think of, canned peach. As for the bread and spices, it too suffers from the exact same problem, bland, flavorless, and just mush, the price was the only reason why this desert was appealing. Moving on to our entree I had ordered, the garlic parm wings looked beautiful. Its color, skin, and seasoning look magnificent. Sadly, my initial bite left me thinking one thing, hot, too hot for this being garlic parm. It was tragic to realize this was closer to hot wing than garlic parm and on top of that, it was only hot, I did not taste any other flavor or seasoning. Finaly moving on to my main meal, the pulled pork sandwich. At this point I was praying to a higher being to please make this sandwich the saving grace of a disappointing evening. Inspecting the sandwich, it was just toasted buns, and meat, although plain holding a piece of meat and watching it break apart from just gravity and visible seasoning, my hopes were risen once more. And then I held the whole sandwich, the buns were soggy and soft but somehow the edge was still crispy. And then I took a bite, and my hopes were shattered. It was dry and salty beyond belief. For the price tag of 8 dollars this was simply a scam. Although I have been negative through this review, I have confidence this establishment can easily fix these rather small problems, although premade/preserved food is great for cutting the bottom-line, nothing will beat making your food from fresh produce in house. I would also recommend reevaluating and changing some of your seasonings, there is a mix of under-seasoned and over-seasoned food, this can be fixed by simply tasting your food before serving to ensure everything is properly made. I truly believe that once the food problem is fixed this can easily be a top 10 best restaurants in Harlingen. Overall, I sat down with high hopes and was met with mediocre BBQ restaurant with a beautiful interior. I thought I had found something special but instead it feels like they were more focused on looks than good food. My final score is a 2.8/5 lovely atmosphere but terrible food. read more

im going home upset I was waiting 15 min just to place a order the employees seen me and still nobody went to take my order very rude will not be going back read more

I went in there and nobody at the counter. The two cooks in the back saw me didn't even acknowledge that I was standing there didn't call anybody to come to the counter. Stood there for 10 minutes with no service left the building. I guess that's why that place is always empty read more

Great fast food bbq in Harlingen. Recommend. Yada yada yada yada yada. Eat there. That's all.

Great food, generous servings, courteous service, nice atmosphere. We will come back.

Very disappointed in Reyna's tonight! They messed our order up and when I called to complain they thought it was funny. They failed to put bbq sauce in the order when I asked for it specifically. My baked potato was dark and brown like it had been in the oven all day. The moist beef sandwich was anything but moist-very disappointing. read more

Pros: clean Service was friendly although slow. Cons: They were out of moist brisket Chopped brisket was not good soggy non flavorful Mac and cheese was very bad, boxed Kraft Mac has more taste I would say it's the most plain Mac and cheese I have ever had. Drive down the street and goto smoked it's a little more expensive but much better read more

Chain food, chain atmosphere, wasn't like some of the other BBQ here in Texas. Not bad, not great. So just good.

Great meals, at great deals, and tastes good! It was a short walk from my Hotel across the street.

I placed a large order of BBQ and sides to go. The service was prompt and all of my guests raved about the food.

Had lunch here today and it was all great!! Had the brisket sandwich with Mac n cheese, "moist" brisket plate with potato salad and Mac n cheese, and the brisket and chicken plate with Mac and fries. It all came with bread and their sweet tea was fresh and good. Oh and their bbq sauce was sweet just like we like it. The restaurant and bathrooms were very clean!! read more

Tried Reyna's for the first time today. The food was fresh and tasty however, their service is a little too fast. I got up to go to the restroom and when I came back, they had cleaned my table. Wish I could have had the other half of my lunch. Make sure you don't come alone or don't leave the table until you're done eating. read more

The cashier was very friendly and asked if I would like to try their daily special. I went with the one meat combo of moist brisket. The two sides were cream corn and potato salad! Everything was so delicious. I highly recommend this place. Service was quick even on the lunch rush. Great staff and clean environment. They're definitely in compliance with CDC COVID standards. read more

Terrible , don't waste your money. Ordered food and had such a small portion, Missing my drink, never again.

so I ordered the 2 meat plate combo with the brisket(moist) and chicken the brisket was ok it had a weird color and lots of fat but okay the chicken however is probably the worst chicken I've ever from any bbq place the beans and rice were very good I love the corn in the rice and the beans have a great flavor Also got a banana pudding which was very Over priced for the portion and was not good at all so in all 2 out of 5 the 2 stars are for the beans and rice everything else is borderline uneatable but the service was good just need a better cook read more

Looks good, and people are raving about it, ... but those of us concerned about Climate Change are eating alot less beef since it creates so much Methane and has a high water footprint too, -see truecostoffood.org by Sierra Club. However, there are good options here. But I was very disappointed to see the large Styrofoam cup displayed. Is that the only option for drinks? For cold liquids they aren't so bad, except the plastic ends up poisoning sea creatures, birds, fish, turtles, etc., but a hot liquid in styrofoam leaches out the styrene they are made with, which is now known, in spite of denialist industry-funded "studies," to cause pancreatic, esophageal, and likely other cancers in those who drink from styrofoam. read more

Brisket and chicken are real good. Disappointed they did not have healthier sides for someone like me who eats mostly chicken and vegetables. But good place for sure. read more

So we saw this restaurant but it's a chain so why would we stop.....after 3 attempts at restaurants closed in Monday we came back around. They had a drive through and very clear menu!!!!

The fries are so fresh the container has a grease burn....they steamed when I opened the bags!!!! Plus I LLLLLOOOOOOVVVVEEEE they stapled the bag shut so nothing would spill out. Bless them!!!! So amazing!!! read more
