James Beard Foundation’s Classic Restaurants Include Vera’s Bar-B-Que | Eater Austin

"A longtime Brownsville barbecue institution recognized as one of the James Beard Foundation’s “America’s Classics,” this family-run spot is best known for its slow-smoked barbacoa de cabeza. The operation is currently led by Armando “Mando” Vera and traces its roots back to a restaurant opened by his father in 1955, with a reputation built on traditional preparation and regional South Texas flavors." - Nadia Chaudhury
