Update: Jan 2023. This place is still a Laredo, TX favorite for barbacoa to go...by the pound, 1.5 lbs, 2 lbs, or more. Actualización: enero de 2023. Este lugar sigue siendo un favorito de Laredo, TX para llevar barbacoa... por libra, 1.5 lbs, 2 lbs o más. ----- Are you looking for Barbacoa (“bar-bah-COH-ah”)? Lira's serves decent, juicy tasting, Mexican style Barbacoa. Do not confuse it with American style BBQ, such as Rudy's BBQ. On a visit (June 2018) the flavor or spice recipe of the barbacoa had changed. It wasn't the original, distinct, flavor of 2017. Maybe the cook or recipe changed. (Down from 5 to 4 stars.) I first encountered Lira's in Nuevo Laredo, Tamps. Mexico where they still have a food truck on Sat & Sun near Soriana Carrizo. (They sell barbacoa by the taco or kilo there.) In Laredo you can eat in the restaurant but the take out line (outside window) is quicker. Order by the pound or 1/2 pound. You get all the sides included: corn tortillas, cilantro/cabbage mix (repollo), and 2 different salsas. In Laredo, I frequent the one on 1206 San Bernardo Ave. They also have a second location on 1302 Bartlett Ave. Don't forget they are also located in San Antonio, TX too. --- Español ¿Estás buscando Barbacoa (“bar-bah-COH-ah”)?

(Allí venden barbacoa por taco o por kilo). En Laredo puedes comer en el restaurante pero la línea para llevar (ventana exterior) es más rápida. Ordene por libra o 1/2 libra. Obtiene todos los condimentos: tortillas de maíz, mezcla de cilantro / repollo (repollo) y 2 salsas diferentes. En Laredo, frecuento el que está en 1206 San Bernardo Ave. También tienen una segunda ubicación en 1302 Bartlett Ave. No olvide que también están ubicados en San Antonio, TX.

In an area where McDonald's is getting 5 stars, temper your expectations for the highest rated Mexican restaurant...puro Laredo. This is a breakfast spot with a simple menu, but they offer smoothies (ice, milk, and fruit)! It seems that everything comes with barbacoa (cheek meat). Bi-lingual staff...or at least I assume bi-lingual because we communicated in Spanish.

Decided to stop by for some breakfast. Ordered 3 Barbacoa tacos and a small menudo bowl. If watching your sodium intake I do not recommend. But since I don't care about salt, let me just say it was very delicious.
