About Vera's Backyard Bar-B-Que
Established in 1955, Vera's Backyard Bar-B-Que is renowned for its authentic barbacoa de cabeza, a traditional Mexican dish where a cow's head is slow-cooked in an underground pit. The tender meat is served in tacos with onions, cilantro, and lime. The rustic, open-air setting offers a unique dining experience, especially on weekends when the barbacoa is freshly prepared. As of 2020, it was named an America's Classic by the James Beard Foundation, highlighting its cultural significance and dedication to traditional cooking methods.

I work nearby and have been coming here for lunch regularly. The food is always fresh and satisfying. Quick service even during the busy lunch rush. My coworkers all love it too.
