I’m from Mission, TX and when I was in Robstown visiting I google searched for somewhere to catch a bite. The review on Google read “this chicken makes all other chicken places look like babies.” I thought it was a bold claim. But it’s true! I dream of this chicken. And I gots to know what’s in that seasoning!!!
This channel makes me want to move to Texas. I was there for college and got hooked on chicken fried steak and Tex Mex. You just can't find it anywhere else. It tastes just perfect.
I grew up in Robstown then moved to Houston when I was 15 and I miss home but what I miss the most is the Barrera's Fried chicken. I plan to go visit family this month but secretly mainly for the Barrera's Fried chicken 🤭.
I'm ChueyLoco from Robstown Texas and Barrera's fried Chicken has been the best tasting Chicken I have ever tasted from me to you keep doing that Great 👍 Job Guy's
Hey it's Robstown jus 17 miles east of Courpus Christi my brother's home town, I've got family there I've always passed this place when visting, but I've never stopped there, I do believe my nephew, and my in law said something to me awhile back that place has really GOOD chicken,but I never stopped there, 😭😭,this time I'm going to when I go down there again, thanks for sharing this✌️👍
That’s cool y’all go to the small town spots across Texas. Now I know where to go next time I’m in my hometown of Corpus Christi Tx when I visit my brother in-law In good ol Robstown
When I lived in Kingsville my professor recommended this place to us and I don’t know why I never went but after watching this video I wish I had 🙃... sounds like I missed out!
@ Selena Yes Selena, their chicken is absolutely delecious! I live approximately 30 miles away. My late uncle introduced this chicken to my family and I in the early 90s. We've been a fan of Barrera's Fried Chicken ever since. He used to work in Corpus Christi and commute from our town and brought some to our home to have dinner one evening when he returned back to town from work. Just like the owner stated, my uncle found out about it through word of mouth. Their chicken pieces are pretty big and incredibly juicy with flavor. But the kicker...is their secret seasoning that they put on it. Oh, man! It strikes your tastes buds with glorious satisfaction. Haha. We would pick some up sometimes when heading back home passing through Robstown. Haven't had some in about 5 years now. Maybe now is the calling to change that streak soon. I love these types of hole-in-the-wall restaurants. They typically have great tasting food with fair prices. It's nice to break away from the fancy wine & dine and support these ma & pa establishments. Plus, Mr. Barrera is such a nice man. I'm actually glad he doesn't break from his norm and relocate. His place gives that homey feeling style of eat-out when these type of family owned businesses were more prevalent in the past. I bet you used to frequent Youngs Pizza while attending TAMUK, huh? I love their Texacali subs. Or maybe Big House Burgers? Did you ever get to try King's Inn Seafood in Riviera while living in Kingsville?
I recently visited this spot for the second time in my life and it is not disappointing, I look forward to my next chance because I live three hours away and it’s awesome.
What's up Robstown TX I have a lot of family there my uncle/ father at heart use to be judge there judge Lorenzo Rojas love the chicken it's amazing so blessed to see Robstown TX on youtube love u my family
I live in TeXas and I had never heard of Robstown before. You can tell this guy is genuine and loves to cook, satisfy his customers. I've seen several people say he sounds Irish (how?), he has a straight up, old skool Chicano accent! Greetings from the Big D!
I love fried chicken & I love fried gizzards, livers & hearts!! I also love fried calves liver & onions, even when I was a kid but what do you expect from a kid who also loved veggies lol! I'm 63 now & I still love all those things lol! I'd love to visit TX & go to all the places you've been to on your show! I live in Northern Calif but we have a lot of 'shit kickers' in our state to & I've always been a Cowgirl!
I wonder if this was the same building as a longtime grocery store that was known as Barrera's Red and White Store? My great-grandfather's uncle and cousin used to run that, and I'd be curious to stop by even more if that was the case!
Doing some work around Robstown..I just had this yesterday, didn't know there was a video on your channel about this place. It was really good. Ordered fried fish too. THAT was amazingly good. Super long line every evening. Worth the stop for sure
I watched this video 2 hours after my lunch, and then I decided to order some take out any fried chicken I could find online. Imagine how powerful Barrera's Fried Chicken is.......
I live close to Robstown Texas and I have heard people talk about how good that Barreras Fried Chicken taste. I’ve never tried it because I don’t really drive through Robstown. I really need to check it out some time though. I need to see what I’ve been missing out on.
" Restaurants here in south Louisiana sell fried chicken liver and chicken gizzards. # YUMMY TO THE TUMMY DELICIOUS ! ... LOL 🤣👍 👍 I'm a 62 year old lady who loves gizzards and livers ! Cajuns eat anything ! " 🐔
This is THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN EVER! The only thing is you are suppose to put gravy over the chicken and let it soak in!! Then give yourself 3 hours to sit on the couch and digest the deliciousness!
A double liver! I have to try it now in honor of my son who loved Popeye's Fried Chicken and was an Aggie! Dude, you're making me hungry!!! Corpus Christi is the place to be, btw.
If you go, get the standard “beef” and dip it in the red sauce. Yum. Also maybe try the cream cheese w/ jalapeño, if you wanna do any specialty tamales.
Robstown is proud to host possibly the best chicken place in the state of Nueces.

I hate the term Tex mex…. Texas Mexican food is authentic
@@eeZyy_It should be called Tex Mex because there are clear differences like how regional foods are labeled in Italy
@@ramencurry6672yes, Tex Mex is not authentic Mexican cuisine for many dishes etc.
"I don't know what they do, I just know what I do." that sir, is true focus and dedication to your craft.

I absolutely love chicken liver one of my favorite foods ever since I was a kid.
I'm from Robstown happy to see were getting noticed for something good other than crime
No shit lol
Ever notice how our schools sound racist sometimes? We really be out here saying "cotton pickers!" With no 2nd thought lol
Star6457 AJ on god tho,
Lawrence Inc same
Right?
Had their chicken before really good! A friend of mine took me there when visited Texas to visit some family members down there. Give it a go so good.
The owner seem so be really jolly and loves his job!
I’ve been here. It’s bomb. Good stuff.
Anyone else get super nervous when they saw how close that dude’s hands get to that chicken slicer blade thing?
That's ALL I could think about.
I Agree 👀👀👀👀
atomicbrain9401 omg it will happen it’s just when. Let’s hope not.
Its why I could never do that for work. I would cut my hand off in the first week.
That's where the money is made by cutting your own chicken into 8 pieces. Pre cut from the distributor is twice the price.

When i heard that crunch into that bite of chicken i knew he was going to love it. I gotta take me a trip to texas & make a stop at Barreras chicken
I need to take a break from N.Y. and go to Texas, it seems like all the best food comes from there!
larry hernandez heck yea

@@Chilling4Shillings fake news much? Shoo fly!
That’s my best friends dad been getting free chicken since we were little lol Riri if you see this like it 😂😂❤️
Brianna Moreno 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
When I was a teenager there were these places called boat and net in Corpus Christi. Loved to get the fried okra and shrimp from them!
It’s still fire bro
ok
They just started closing all of those like last week.
Theres one in robstown
Rip 😔😔👊
That’s cool y’all go to the small town spots across Texas. Now I know where to go next time I’m in my hometown of Corpus Christi Tx when I visit my brother in-law In good ol Robstown
The owner might be having his 100th cups of coffee before the interview
"Coffee"
I live in Robstown it’s sooooo good
That crunch of the first bite, legendary.
When I lived in Kingsville my professor recommended this place to us and I don’t know why I never went but after watching this video I wish I had 🙃... sounds like I missed out!
Well gorgeous we can both go together on a date : ) how about that?

I was shocked when he said he'd never had gizzards. Def a Texas delicacy
I recently visited this spot for the second time in my life and it is not disappointing, I look forward to my next chance because I live three hours away and it’s awesome.
I gotta visit this place someday! I pass through Robstown several times a year.
I live down the street from this place born and raised
King Kilo is it really that good ???
No not really not like in the mid 90s seasoning is to salty for my liking and pieces are really small
Luis Ventura not really he said it sucks
Everything seemed to be better in the 90s man qué pasó
What's up Robstown TX I have a lot of family there my uncle/ father at heart use to be judge there judge Lorenzo Rojas love the chicken it's amazing so blessed to see Robstown TX on youtube love u my family

Robstown is the birth place of Texas Hold em. A lot of folks don’t know that
Lol I just listened to him again after you said people say he sounds Irish and he does 😂. But I know he has a strong Chicano accent, I’m from Texas.
I have Texas on My bucket list. Looks like sooner rather than later I love Fried Chicken.
Man my mouth is watering... thanks for sharing.... here I come Robstown!! ☆
melody ayala me too

My mouth was watery just bye watching this and i just ate barreras today
So you only eat at places owned by Hispanic folks I take it.
I'm stuck in California how do I get there
My hometown and Rene is my classmate 1985! Best chicken ever!
That crunch wow. That sure got me. I want some chicken now.
Doing some work around Robstown..I just had this yesterday, didn't know there was a video on your channel about this place. It was really good. Ordered fried fish too. THAT was amazingly good. Super long line every evening. Worth the stop for sure

Great! Good to see new uploads from this channel.
Excellent food!
Bruh Barrera's is bomb everything there is just MMMMMMM
We love Barrera's
Now this is right up my alley.
I here the crunch all the way from New Jersey
That look pretty good. Thanks for sharing. God bless. I'm surprised that he never tried liver or gizzards. That's one of my favorites. ❤️❤️❤️
Have to give it a try next time I go to Corpus.
I've had this chicken many times. I assure you that it's the best thing to ever come out of Robstown. And that is not a compliment.
4:26 Face of a great host willing to do whatever it takes to have a great show!
The crunch sounded goooooooody!!
can't be a true southerner without eating gizzards
[Finishes chewing & swallowing chicken livers]:
"After bringing balance back to my taste buds, it was time for the main course." 😂
This shit had me dying !! He hated this food lol
No, he hates the liver and I don’t blame him. First time trying liver is 😖

It's in my bucket list now too..
I heard the crunch in nyc lol 👍🏻😋 adding to my bucket list 🙏🏻.
Good fried chicken is a true blessing
PREACH
4:30. LOL. “That’s a chicken liver, but that gravy!!!!” I know it’s damn good.
I like Texas bucket list videos on UA-cam, from the imperial co California.
You Have never eaten Gizzards or Livers? Are you sure you are from Texas?
" Restaurants here in south Louisiana sell fried chicken liver and chicken gizzards. # YUMMY TO THE TUMMY DELICIOUS ! ... LOL 🤣👍 👍
I'm a 62 year old lady who loves gizzards and livers !
Cajuns eat anything ! " 🐔
🤮
Don't forget the heart's
Never had it too and I'm from Texas
Not all Texans eat that trust me BUT I DO!!!
40 yrs in 🐓 business 👍
Have you try any other place around corpus ,flour bluff , Portland, rockport,
I got anxiety from that chicken cutter! I think the RX for that is some of that fried chicken!!!😁
This is THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN EVER! The only thing is you are suppose to put gravy over the chicken and let it soak in!! Then give yourself 3 hours to sit on the couch and digest the deliciousness!
He did not like it you can tell by his face lol.
How many digits have been cut off with that blade?
I drive 20 miles to get some of that chicken . Mmm mmm mmm!!!!
Been there, still do that.
Nothing better than a piece of good fried chicken.
I grew up in robstown and they would give my mom bags off gizzards
Flour isn’t the only powder Rene is familiar with…. He is the Mexican boomhauer
Hehe...my father used to own the Chevrolet store there (Access Chevrolet). I have had their chicken quite a few times. Good stuff.
Welp. Looks like I'm driving from Rockport to try this place. lol
Some of the best chicken I've ever had there
I didn’t understand a word he said
A double liver! I have to try it now in honor of my son who loved Popeye's Fried Chicken and was an Aggie! Dude, you're making me hungry!!! Corpus Christi is the place to be, btw.
No liver for but chicken gizzards oh yeah
All I can say is Hell Yeah!!!!
Bless his heart. He wasn’t ready for the fried liver.😂 I love them . I’m not sure about yellow gravy tho 🤷🏽♀️.
I don't know why he ate the whole thing in 1 bite lol. I would have taken a small bite with something I've never tried before.
Yellow gravy is chicken heavy, hon. Its probably made from drippings.
At least he didn't use spoon n fork
Naturally _ Me777 I haven’t had the liver before I usually get the chicken and fries and the roll. Is the liver good
Livers more of an acquired taste. I used to hate liver and kidney when Mom would make them and I was young. But now I love gizzard, kidney, and liver.
Dude talked like he’s Cajun mesican lol
Tweak from South Park. That's who the owner reminded me of
im portugese we eat alot of chicken gizzards and liver omg i love that shit
The owner seems like a nice guy.
Never place the container on a down- ward Car Hood !!!! I’m surprised it didn’t slide off 😳
this guy is too funny!!!!!!
Liver a gizzards awesome been eating them for years
I love liver every way you can cook it. At first, I hated it, but after eating it 5-6 times I was hooked.
Me watching while living in robstown:
I like this guy
My man the Mexican Twista.
THIS REMINDS ME OF MEMES KLEEN KITCHEN IN DEL RIO TX :)
I want to go to Texas...thanks alot
I'm just wondering how often they change that oil. Old frying oil is lethal..
Sir. Have you ever done an episode over at Bodacius BBQ on Interstate 20 in Tyler. Do yo have any good hotdog p-laces i9n TX
He so wanted tp spit it out. Hive him a cold beer 🤣🤣🤣
Your always welcome to the coastal bend.
The lady in the video is the best hair stylist in robstown ! Her name is Rosie!
Probably cuts hair while shes serving BBQ
I have a suggestion for TV show - where can I send it?
Michael Blackwell ideas@thetexasbucketlist.com
Funny I luv chicken liver ..... Can't wait to try 👍👍👍
That chicken sounds like its a 10! ...but that man in the blue shirt and beard, mmmmmhmmm HE WAS AN 11! ❤
Nice place. Great review.
If you go, get the standard “beef” and dip it in the red sauce. Yum. Also maybe try the cream cheese w/ jalapeño, if you wanna do any specialty tamales.
You should try "Popo's burgers" in Laredo, TX.......
