We arrived for an early lunch and tried the brisket and mixture so we could have both lean and fatty. Most everything is a la carte, so if you're used to making fajitas or tacos out of everything you will need to buy a package of freshly made, freshly heated tortillas, beans, and ask for cilantro and onions. I had to purchase a mild and a habanero salsa as well. Overall, we had a great experience as we dined in one of the corner tables. Service was friendly and like family. The food was so delicious but let's face it, this is not craft central Texas bbq partly because the food is smoked using mesquite and there is the mexican influence being so close to the border. Because of this, although the brisket was delicious in its own way the star of the show is the barbacoa here. It's so good its addicting. This is without saying, but Vera's is a must stop if you're coming to Brownsville for any reason.

Hard to pass this place up. Reminds of a time longago when I "built" a subterranean bbq pit where I…read morelived, briefly but not nearly enough so, on a small ranch I bought in the Fresno foothills... during one of those "gotta get away from all this sht" periods. A friend had experience with dynamite and knew where to get enough for my crude purposes. Amazingly quick and easy to create a hole in the ground. I doubt that's how Vera dug hers even if this is Texas. My own system imho was better, likely because I applied my creative talent almost exclusively to chivos and wild pigs. But the bbq here is great to be sure with a lingering aftertaste that somehow tells you it's not been cooked in a backyard Weber. Indescribably essential experience if you're in the area.

Saw all the cars lined up and decided we needed to line up too! It's clean and comfortable. The staff were all very welcoming and helped us through the menu.

If its as good as it looks, and as amazing as the main course, we are probably going to be in a food coma by the time we finish it all. Definitely recommend. Be ready for a little spice (or a lot)!

I truly love this spot the fun old school vibes here remind me of home! Tahoe to be exact! Super fun for family or big party's as there's lots of room for dinning and plenty of TVs to keep everyone entertained! I ordered half pound of brisket and half pound of chopped brisket with sauce with sides of hot bbq beans and potato salad and couple slices of bread. The brisket was pretty moist big old smoke ring and bursts with that Smokey flavor! The thin slices with some bbq sauce just melts in your mouth! The chopped brisket with sauce was fantastic too paired all this with some pickles and bites of the little jalapeños chefs kiss! Baked beans were really good and the potato salad was a nice touch too! I'll definitely be back for some cold beers and super bomb bbq!

They're rather expensive for the amount you get. We got smallest sizes and was plenty w all the other food. The "Sissy" sauce and Original Rudy sauce don't taste like a lot of BBQ type sauces. We liked the flavor of the Sissy sauce best but both were good. 2 things we won't get again- The corn on the cob was chewy and tasted way overdone. The flavor was good if was cooked properly. We, also, got the Brisket. We compare every brisket we have to Willie's in Alamo because have never had bad brisket at Willie's over several years. The Rudy's brisket was more like jerky, dry and chewy. The flavor was good though and we do like jerky, just was hoping for Willie's style brisket. Whe
