Barrera's Fried Chicken — Restaurant in Robstown

Barrera’s is our go to spot every time we’re passing through on our way home to Edinburg. First off, they don’t skimp on their chicken or servings. Nowadays when fried chicken places are cutting a chicken breast in half to make it two pieces, Barrera’s remains true to their service by serving a full large chicken breast in all their plates!! Speaking of service they not only go out of their way to ensure customers are happy, but they will take the extra step to add a few pieces of chicken if the portions look small to them. Recently we arrived as they were closing and not only did they accommodate our order but because they could not fulfill the entire order at the end of day, they still stepped up to add some extras!! Finally, the crispy chicken with their special seasoning is the best!! Tastes like no other and its uniqueness is a one & only just like the restaurant. I dont believe there is a better place south of Robstown & that’s why we will always stop here on our way...

Best fried chicken in Robstown? To many regulars, this drive up fried chicken stand is the answer to the above question. Personally, I can not abide the amount of salt applied to very good fried chicken. The generous French fries were just ok, but perhaps a very little under cooked or not quite hot. The gravey was excellent. The slaw was good and of the mayo rather than vinegar style.

I ordered the fish plate, and we also ordered two chicken plates. There was some confusion regarding the logistics and I had chicken.

There are two 8 (?) person picnic style red tables under roof and open air adjacent to the building. There was adequate street parking around the building...

This is a very popular food establishment, with very reasonable prices, that is very well patronized. I would need to ask them to hold the salt, which seems the primary ingredient of their red...

Well deserved five stars. If you haven't had Barrera's Fried Chicken before you are in for a big delicious surprise. Barrera's Fried Chicken is located in Robstown, TX. 18 miles west of Corpus Christi. When you go be prepared for a short wait because the eatery is so popular with tourists and locals alike that sometimes in requires a wait. But it's worth it because you'll be eating the best fried chicken in south Texas. I like the light and crispy coating on the chicken which is served with french fries and a roll or you could try their fried chicken livers, gizzards, shrimp or fish baskets. Whatever you order it's topped with gravy and a secret seasoning that will rock your taste buds. If you don't want extra sodium make sure to tell then to hold the seasoning at the time...
