    It was great, and the excellent service recommended grabbing a bit to eat the food was fresh and so good.

    brisket sandwich, extra pickles and onions on a bun buttered and grilled to perfection. Can you ask for more?

    This barbecue is as good it as it gets south of San Antonio, trust me. I have been eating Willie B's for over a decade, and it only continues to improve, not only with its service, but the dedication and inventiveness of their menu. Not to mention that the ultra delicious, tangy/spicy barbecue sauce is made in house fresh daily, as well as their spicy take on cream corn (get there for lunch or else they will have run out, always such a bummer). My two favorite things on the menu are definitely the brisket sandwich and the brisket potato with extra sour cream and extra cheese. I can't even describe this without my mouth watering. If you're not exactly feeling barbecue, don't worry, they also serve bomb ass burritos and lean smoked chicken. Basically, if you're living in the valley and you haven't eaten here, you haven't been living. p.s. don't forget to try the freshly squeezed lemonade.

    I went to (will not mention names, but check my last review) last night and couldn't believe how horrible it was. I was so mad and disappointed, I woke up today determined to make up for yesterday's BBQ nightmare. Huge difference! Night and day. The service was outstanding. The employees were so nice. I ordered half pound brisket by itself, no bread, no sides and it was just amazing. Perfect amount of juicy fat and meat. I had to grab my phone immediately and sing their praises! Thank you Willie B's for redeeming last nights sorry excuse of a BBQ establishment. This is definitely my new BBQ spot. Place is legit. Check it out for yourself

    Willie B's potatoes and burritos are the best in the valley. Their brisket is tender and smoked to perfection! The turkey is also smoked and great if you're watching your diet! If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for?! It's always worth the drive no matter what!

    This is my Favorite BBQ go to place. Always !! Sweet tea is always on point. Most of the time I can't decide what to get because everything is always SOOO good.

    If you want great Texas BBQ then Willie B's in Edinburg is a must! This was our first stop from Miami. They have friendly service and delicious food. We had the loaded brisket sausage baked potato, which I highly recommend.

    Brisket plate. Also includes two slices of bread not shown.

    Was in McAllen for business and my colleague brought me here for dinner. Not a fancy place, but the food was very good. I got the brisket plate with creamed corn (with jalapeño) and mac & cheese as my sides. A large portion and everything was tasty.

    I suggest to get the Baked potato with brisket love it :) and if you stay for dessert get the pecan cobbler you won't regret it :)

    Great food, good prices, I recommend To Go instead of dine in.

    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.

    Good tasting chicken. Ribs were not as meaty but their rice and beans were good. Take cash…read more Credit they service charge.

This Mexican BBQ master griller is hidden in a residential & business area by it's location and proximity to an auto mechanic you might just pass it on but man they can grill & Q. The owner came to my car and apologized cause they were almost out of meats but I was hangry after my gym and needed my protein!!! 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. Green hot sauce and tomato cilantro salsa kicked the whole thing up to the sky. Charro beans very juicy and a hint of heat, rice fluffy good! Service and attention to the customer make this place Awesome!!!!! Love the way my day turned out thanks

    Man oh man oh man. Get your workout in before you hit this joint. Burn about five thousand calories…read moreand then go eat one of everything on the menu. 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. All for $62 bucks. Easily one of the best spots I've found in El Valle.

    This was my third visit to this BBQ joint we discovered earlier in 2025. I've eaten their brisket…read morepreviously and it is outstanding. It's the best I've eaten here in the RGV and coming in a close second to City Market in Luling, TX. It's that good! This visit I decided to try their Three Brisket Combo meal. It comes with three brisket tacos (corn or flour tortillas) loaded with brisket, a couple grilled jalapeño slices, grilled onions and some cilantro. They didn't need salsa but a squeeze of lime might've been helpful. The side I chose was their house made coleslaw which was pretty tasty. I ordered their green beans with onion and bacon but a few minutes after ordering a fellow came out to tell me they were out of the beans so I settled for the slaw. I also ordered an order of their house cut, tallow fried french fries. Man, were they GOOD! As in THE BEST FRIES I'VE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE GOOD!!! They are worth the visit all by themselves. The combo meal comes with a bottomless drink as well. The wife and I split the Combo meal, added the fries and a small side of potato salad that she wanted. We each ate one taco and about half of the sides. So we had a leftover taco, some fries and half our sides for the next day. All for like $21. The combo meal is $13.99 which is a pretty good deal in itself. The fries were like $6 and well worth the price. We will definitely be back. I would also highly recommend their 50/50 Rice and Beans topped with Brisket Bowl. That provided two meals for me when I ordered it previously. You can't go wrong at this little joint.
