I’m from Mission, TX and when I was in Robstown visiting I google searched for somewhere to catch a bite. The review on Google read “this chicken makes all other chicken places look like babies.” I thought it was a bold claim. But it’s true! I dream of this chicken. And I gots to know what’s in that seasoning!!!

@ Selena Yes Selena, their chicken is absolutely delecious! I live approximately 30 miles away. My late uncle introduced this chicken to my family and I in the early 90s. We've been a fan of Barrera's Fried Chicken ever since. He used to work in Corpus Christi and commute from our town and brought some to our home to have dinner one evening when he returned back to town from work. Just like the owner stated, my uncle found out about it through word of mouth. Their chicken pieces are pretty big and incredibly juicy with flavor. But the kicker...is their secret seasoning that they put on it. Oh, man! It strikes your tastes buds with glorious satisfaction. Haha. We would pick some up sometimes when heading back home passing through Robstown. Haven't had some in about 5 years now. Maybe now is the calling to change that streak soon. I love these types of hole-in-the-wall restaurants. They typically have great tasting food with fair prices. It's nice to break away from the fancy wine & dine and support these ma & pa establishments. Plus, Mr. Barrera is such a nice man. I'm actually glad he doesn't break from his norm and relocate. His place gives that homey feeling style of eat-out when these type of family owned businesses were more prevalent in the past. I bet you used to frequent Youngs Pizza while attending TAMUK, huh? I love their Texacali subs. Or maybe Big House Burgers? Did you ever get to try King's Inn Seafood in Riviera while living in Kingsville?
