Every country and culture has their own idea of barbecue, and in the United States alone there are at least five or six different styles. Heck, even Texas has four or five different ways to barbecue but it is most known for the low and slow Central Texas style with briskets, pork butts and sausage.
But when you make your way down south to the border, barbecue means fajitas, sausage, chicken halves, tablitas, loaded ribs, finger ribs and more. It’s a whole other world of barbecue in the Rio Grande Valley where we are lucky to be able to experience BOTH of these styles within a few miles of each other.
In this video we’re gonna stop by 492 BBQ in Palmview, TX where owner/Pitmaster Lupe Garza cooks up delicious platters of fajitas, sausage, beef short ribs and even LAMB BREAST! Plus a whole buncha other delicious meats and traditional South Texas sides. Growing up in South Texas this is the carne asada style of barbecue that I grew up with and what I cook at home most of the time.
After that feast, and a nap,drive we’re gonna take a ride across the Rio Grande Valley to Teddy’s BBQ, a more traditional Central Texas Style joint that holds a coveted spot in the Texas Monthly Top 50. Here at Teddy’s, Co-Owner/Pitmaster Joel Garcia is blazing his own trail by cooking all the popular smoked barbecue meats like brisket and pork ribs, while also offering some unique, must try twists on tradition like the chile pequin sausage and beef fat flour tortillas.
So it’s time to loosen up those belts again and follow me down Expressway 83 to enjoy both the delicious charred carne asada goodness and that smoky, barky melty in your mouth barbecue. Vamonos!

y'all casually flipping back and forth between english and spanish makes me super happy
Hahaha we call it spanglish lol
Hilarious 😅❤
Or Texican :)@@ArnieTex
I second that. Love the Tejano spanglish. Angeleno here, brings great joy to hear different varieties of spanglish. Iykyk. Saludos👋
This video makes me a little emotional because of the love that goes into the TexMex culture. The food is an expression of a deep love for family and friends. Love for Texas And Mexico.
I think that goes for any dish. Ask any auntie, grandma and mother and they’ll say their dish is fill with love. It isn’t only exclusive to one kind of cultural food.
True 88…. It is just my experience being born and raised in South Texas.
When I was in college, two of my friends were from the McAllen area. Their families would come to visit on parents weekend and it became the biggest party of the year each time. The dads would take over the big grill. They brought a ton of skirt steak, vegetables, homemade salsas, and different wood each year. The Moms went in the house and made pico and guacamole and rice and tortillas and I'm drooling while I'm typing. The Dads slowly worked their way through all the meat while about 50 of us ate. They also worked their way through a bottle of mezcal each. Good times.
No shit!!!! Yes same with my daughter when she was in Sul Ross. We'd load up the car with groceries (really) yesssss groceries. And you better believe we had a hell of a cook out. Friends and all were considered family!!!!💞💓 puro amor. THAT'S TEXAS FOR YA!!!!!
Dear Lord my mouth is watering so bad right now... I miss my hometown in Texas so much!
BBQ is a family occasion that brings everyone together. So, that is how we prefer to cook. Even the neighbors know you are doing something special. Everyday that I can.
Arnie is a cool dude! My fav bbq channel on youtube!
My experience coming from Kingsville and eating all over Texas is in South Texas we use Mesquite. That gives us our unique flavor in asada and bbq. The hill country oak and pecan is good but its not home. :)
Well don’t know how I ended up here but damn glad I did….! Love all things TX barbecue
It’s great to see the success of our Latinos. I’m retired after 40 years of the restaurant industry. Living in Denison Tx you never see BBQ Fajitas. Fajitas take a process of tenderizing and spices. In Edinburg Aguilars meat market had the most tender fajitas ready to grill.
In north Texas the fajitas are horrible and tough.
I enjoyed hearing the Spanglish!!! In the late 70’s Rick Hinojosa and I opened the first Sonic Drive In In Weslaco. Good memories!!
Mr Garza at Teddys is fortunate to have family helping out.
Thank you Arnie, you Throw!
The husband and I moved from San Antonio to Seattle 13 years ago and this is what we miss most ❤ love watching you and this!!
Of all the parts of the country I went to while trucking long haul, south Texas is probably where I miss the most. So much great food. Gonna have to make a roadtrip to the Rio Grande Valley area one of these days and try these bbq spots you keep showing us on here, Arnie.
Good video man made me wanna take my wife out for bbq spot
this makes me wanna plan a weekend in texas just for the bbq.
Thanks Arnie for opening my eyes to South Texas BBQ. I would have never known that this fantastic style also exists in Texas! 🙏
Now I gotta go to Texas again and check out the variation of BBQ between East/West/Southern/Central Texas. Thank you so much Arnie!
Does anyone remember David’s BBQ that was just north of 495 along highway 281? Nothing smelled better than his bbq sauce!
Thank you Arnie awesome video👍👍👍
Everything looks so good. This is one of the reasons why I'd like to visit Texas. Cheers, Arnie! ✌️
Can absolutely recommend you go check it out. I'm in Louisiana just nearby so I visit Texas frequently and it's legitimately one of the best food states... Take a trip and plan a BBQ tour it's totally worth it!
@@doctajuice I also want to go to see Austin City Limits, and the Buddy Holly museum. Louisiana would also be a cool place to visit. Cheers!
Good Man, great Family, that's the foundation for enjoying life. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Food makes it all grow.
Its amazing when we get to eat south texas bbq. Especially here in the RGV. Thank you Arnie.
lots of effort went into this one i can tell! nice work
Joel is the MAN!!! Teddy’s is one of the top places in Texas easily!
this is the kinda guy everyone needs next door. Really fun chill vids and good food
Great video my friend. Texas just does things right. Good call on the flour tortillas also !
All of this food looks amazing! Thanks, Arnie.
thanks for posting these places it's on my bucket list
Love the videos ,happy to see n know about all the differents kinds OF BBQ'S. All looks so delicious!!. Thank Arnie for showing us around.Glad both are enjoying good eats.
OMG, that all looked sooooooo good!!! Feel like I'm sharing meals with family! Thank you for sharing!
I've been in Texas my whole life and I didn't know about south TX bbq. Great video. I love your family recipe vids. keep up the good work and exploring new stuff.
great job ! Love the info !
I came across your channel about a month ago and I feel like I have found gold with your channel and food looking so good!
We cook ribs the same here in South Arizona. You can't buy it in restaurants, buts that's how we do it.
It is a joy watching these videos. Keep up the good work and great revues!! :)
Great video Arnie. Adding these to my list of must haves. I wish they were around when I was station in weslaco back in 2014!
Just found this channel. Addicted and subbed. Great content!
These places look amazing. Wish they weren’t 500+ miles from DFW.
Love you are doing south TX food recommendations. Quite a drive from Bandera, but if I am down that way, I will defiantly try them out. Thanks brother.
Great video brother...y'all are awesome. I am up here in DFW and while most of the BBQ I cook is Central Texas style bbq, I also love that open fire direct heat style cooking too which is what led me to your channel along with Chud's and Propits. Keep up the great work sir.
That was awesome. You guys make a great team
Thank you so much for bringing a spotlight to the RGV, Arnie! I'm from Mission and I'm happy I finally have good videos about us that I can send to my friends around the world!
RGV is a dump lol. I call it the septic tank of Texas 😂
@@fencerider1492 That's objectively wrong though. You may have it confused with Austin.
@@robertcop9889 I think you mean subjectively, but I get what you mean. 😉
Love for you to do a similar comparison with Memphis and Carolina BBQ
Awesome Arnie and wifey - watching all the way in Bermuda 🇧🇲 currently learning how to smoke Texas style on an improvised rusted out Weber Kettle grill - love love love this!!! 😍 I did a brisket and spare ribs so far - I like the brisket best - looks like I need to level up on my sides though!!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Love these style of videos where you eat a bunch of different dishes
Dang I’ve been missing out. My father in law lives on the same street as 492 and we go down there from Houston and I drive right past it! Can’t wait!! Great video
i love how you highlight that bbq in south texas as far as what people see as traditional texas bbq but gotta love those fajitas , asada, and the half chickens asados style .. and the grilled cebollas
Texas is the only state that feels like a separate country. So many great things about the state including the best BBQ your mouth will ever taste.
wow talk about mouth watering! when i was in texas a few years back i had some bomb ass barbecue and if i ever find my way to texas, I'll definitely have to eat again.
One of my favorite food channels right now! Keep on doing what you're doing buddy!
I love the saying on that fence.
Carne Asada👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

My husband grew up in McAllen ,Edinburg is now practically connected .so when we go there this fall ti visit we are gonna stop n check it out it.
Keep up the great job looking forward to ur next adventure of trying good eats n sharing with us thanks , Rachel 👍🏼
The intro made me so hungry! Nice content and very nice looking food and vibes!
I went to the Edinburg 492 last month, their chopped brisket sandwich is really good. Definitely a must try
Love the videos! God bless Texas!
I loved hearing the crispness of the skin
I love these vids, Arnie! So cool to also get some good insight from the owners. You cant EVER go wrong with some good bbq!
idk why i keep watching these videos when I'm hungry :D
Seeing him be so excited and happy about eating bbq is the best thing ever!
Right when you said I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!!! I knew you knew all that crazy South Tejas slang for sure!!!! Love the content for sure!!! Love the 1st restaurant you went to. I wish there were more bbq restaurants doing that style as well. I’m sure this video showcasing that style will help hype up these BBQ JUNKIES to possibly hype up that style.
Dang I never even heard of 492 BBQ. I guess I have a new place to try out! I also still need to try El Pocito as well. I've been wanting to try their restaurant since I saw your video on them!
I saw you code switchin like crazy with the purveyor! Now that's TX! Que bueno tampaquenia!
Gracias 😊
I uave the carne asada t, and the og and wow rubs! Looking forward to the rest!
Certified Gold !!!!!
Texas and good BBQ have never been two things I've accosciated together.
You serious clark? 😂
I’ll definitely take a trip when I find myself in those parts. Dios mediante🙏🏾🇺🇸
This needs to be on prime time tv, travel channel, Disney, espn and others
Que rico… looks like today is a day for barbecue
Great video
Awesome video. Huge fan of mesquite smoke and it's unique flavor.
For the south Texas style is it cooked a little hotter and faster than central Texas? Or is it still cooked in offset smokers just using different wood?
Shout Out @ArnieTex #Come On! #Puro Carne Asada! Puro Central Texas BBQ #Both Can’t Be Beat! #Keep The Smoke 💨 Light And Make It Work! 👊🏼 #Eso Compadre South Texas In The HOUSE!!!!!! :)
Saludos Robert!
Heck Yeah Ernie!!!! 492 BBQ is the best
Dang it Arnie, ur killin me over here! Mouth is watering!
Very good 👍🏼
Homie for a moment I thought you broke a tooth with that pork 😂
Teddy's barbecue use to be called another name, it just got back up and running about a year ago ... There is this one place called Joes fat boys barbecue in Elsa, about 9 miles from Weslaco, maybe you should try next time ...
Woo hoo….South Texas. Although I haven’t been back since I was a kid I was born in Weslaco and my wife was born in Edinburg but been in California since. That carne asada makes me want to go back just to try it. 😋
A M Villarreal.
I love a good asada, food looked good!
😮😮😮se me antojo 🤤👍
What are you drinking at 492 BBQ Arnie? Maybe pink lemonade but with a maraschino cherry? Looks very refreshing!
I agree with Arnie. Carne Asada is different to everyone and there’s no wrong way to do it. Texas carne asada looks great. In Southern California our Carne Asada’s are different. We primarily eat corn tortillas with carne asada, different cuts of beef such as diezmillo or ranchera, Al pastor tacos, chiles gueros & toreados, grilled cebollitas (green onion), sausages, chicken thighs, salsa from the molcajete, pico de gallo, red rice, beans. So much more I can’t think of.
Burnt bean co in seguin is a must try if you haven’t already. Ernie servantes is up for a James beard award on Monday
I am black and I’ve been to the valley for over 15 years I love Anitiquas BBQ in Mercedes right in front of the fairgrounds when we come down there I stay off 83 and airport at the super 8 I love the Valley and the Valley loves me ❤️ #Tejas #Texas
The only negative about 492 BBQ is the fact that I have to drive 8 minutes to get there. Not fast enough!
Good morning live❤ your cooking
"I'm gonna drink a few beers and Chillax!"
13:25 gotta have an ice cold Coca Mexicana with the BBQ. My wife is Mexican and introduced me to those.
You should try Wagon Wheel in Eagle Pass
Try Butters in Sinton, Texas...it won't disappoint!
Arnie I love your videos!! But I have to know where did you get that shirt. I can’t find them up here in north Texas and I want that style of shirt. Please let me know thanks
