Franklins Move over. Anaquitas is a must try Bbq smoke house. Nestled just north of the 83 expressway on Texas ave this place knows meats and have been doing it for while. Victor the Smoking Man gave us a grand tour of the Smoke house where it all happens what a sight.Stop by and try it the Brisket sandwich its a crowd pleaser and a real Texas size Sanwich .The chicken, The fajitas and the sausage were Exellent but the Brisket takes the prize got two texas round up plates and i had to try the brisket sanwich all for under 35.00 dlls fed a familly of 5 what a deal.

This place is great, the service is that original, authentic southern hospitality service. You feel like your family or like you've known them for years. The other great thing is they have a special for each day. Today (Tuesday) is the brisket burger for 5.75. I ask for the fatty slices and thats what I always get. I order to take so they pack everything separate for me so I can prep and eat when I get home. They do have a dining area as well and it is the perfect Texas bbq dining area. I think Wednesday is the chicken plate special for 7.50. Not one complaint about this establishment. It is worth the visit, I highly recommend.

Awesome roadside stand with homestyle barbecue. We weren't super hungry, so the two of us shared the three-meat special, which includes three thick but short slices of brisket, chicken thigh and leg, small piece of sausage, rice, beans, and bread for 14. Everything was lightly seasoned, which really let the smoke flavor shine. The sauce is thick and sweet, but a good partner to the meat. There's a small room available for eating in, but most take it to go. Service is quick.

Best bbq in the valley I think they have the best chicken leg quarters but the brisket is bomb,it's way better than over priced Teddy's bbq in weslaco

Delicious! We got the botana with a side plate of their Monday ribs special. The rice and beans were so good, and it also came with potato salad. There was something for everyone! The fajitas are the best I’ve ever had and the brisket was to die for. The chicken was perfect and the ribs were next level. Can’t say enough good things and can’t wait to come back!

The BBQ in this place tastes great. Good portions for the price. Definitely a great BBQ stop in Mercedes. We placed a phone order and it was ready real quick and our food was exactly what we ordered. The person at the counter was friendly. Definitely recommend this place.
