The Texas Bucket List - Longhorn Cattle Company in San Benito

Down the Rio Grand Valley we came across a BBQ joint with big ol' potatoes and all you can eat beans.

[@rubenrodriguez7231]

My dad is the one making the potato!!! Proud and blessed to be his son!!!

[@shaknosis2119]

San Benito is where I live. Good place to eat

[@TexRose956]

Great food, casual atmosphere. Whenever I have company visiting from out of town I bring them here & never disappointed

[@juanceniceros1222]

And if you want to really impress them bring them to Cafe Amiga in Brownsville for the best home made tortillas and Mexican food

[@edkrassenstein5534]

how is this not sponsored by the Texas tourism board? I've only been to Dallas once, but watching this channel makes me want to visit Texas just to do a road trip

[@MonacoMike]

Ha ha ha ... absolutely! I can't seem to get these stops out of my mind. Sure sounds like a travel destination to me ;-)

I live in Brownsville and have always driven an hour to get to Willie B’s for their huge baked potato w/ brisket. I had no idea there was a place in San Benito that offered them as well and they look delicious. I’m gonna visit this place asap🥔🍴

All you can eat beans.....I’m in!

Damn that tea looks so good with that cup of beans and the potatoe

[@manueltovar6771]

Use to live in San Benito , Harlingen and Brownsville. But when i lived in San Bene after church it was this place. Very delicious food and very family friendly. Will stop by when i go back to the Valley to visit.

[@esthermedellin8283]

It’s a must stop when you drive by San Benito!! The beans are very good and their bbq is delicious!!😋😋

[@billholt2198]

watching that longhorn scratching his rump with his horn was strangely satisfying...

[@domingolara135]

As a former employer the best bbq in the valley the food is great baby back ribs were the best for me steaks were great also i could never finished that chopped brisket spud too big great place to eat

[@paulalaye6428]

Oh my goodness I'm binge watching your wonderful videos, want and need these beans as well as that stuffed potato, texas I'm coming paula aged 64 in the UK xxx

[@lenalyles2712]

Those beans are to die for. Full of meat, spice and soft pinto beans. We buy a quart to take home every time we go.

[@muffa9125]

better get there , before the next teardrop falls

[@thomasallen3818]

One of the things I miss about going to the valley is stopping by The Longhorn Cattle Co. for some great BBQ. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

[@doragarcia6125]

I went there after I saw it in ‘Texas Monthly’, so it was on the map, even before this guy!

[@MoonGypsy]

Those baked potatoes look amazing !

[@tiggy2timez]

Mmmm that potatoe was screaming for them beans to be thrown on it too! 🤤🤰🏾

Yooooooo, I don't even like beans, but those beans really are to die for

Been here twice and I love it

[@eddydiaz2001]

Been going there since the 90's and the only place my mom will buy brisket and the best banana pudding. Mmmmmmmm......groovy memories. And still making more.

[@louisara634]

The beans and spuds great! But their banana pudding is to die for!

[@omarqb]

Id pour my cup of beans on the potato...

[@PenusDrippings]

no you wouldn't

[@SC-uq2jf]

Where are the sponsors? I binge watched 4 years of your videos, and you had sponsors in the earlier videos, your content is well placed and presented. I hope that you get sponsors and more viewers, as a New Yorker, whose deceased Dad was stationed in Texas in the military, I have always wanted to visit the state. Your videos make the epicurial [ sp? ] aspects of the state stand out.

I used to work at the Harley Davidson shop there in San Benito and Longhorn is right up the road a bit and they call me "Big Lou " for a reason,I love to eat great food and this is the place for great BBQ, beans and everything else on the menu.

I love a massive baked potato so many places out here in Cali serve small ones........

I'm from San Benito and that's not the immediate place I send people for "must have" bbq. Don't get me wrong.. they're ok, but somewhat expensive.

[@JoseM-db8ci]

Where do you recommend people to go to for food?

[@conanobrian8580]

Your a hater from San benito. Thats what you are.

[@RobertXPhotography]

Steven neptune Can’t give my honest opinion without being a hater? Huh

[@conanobrian8580]

@@RobertXPhotography rep your city. Would it have hurt you that much to just say it was good. Very unique place in the valley.

[@RobertXPhotography]

Steven neptune But it’s not. I mean.. it’s not really a local hangout. Most people that goes there are winter Texans from the rv parks down the street.

[@mrfunkybassist]

Something felt like it changed last time i was there so hadnt been back so I may have to give it another try. The beans are always to die for though so no complaints on that. And dont forget the banana pudding! How could you not showcase the banana pudding?!?

Just got done eating there, me and my boyfriend the food was great!

they aren't that great. mildly seasoned at best.

Loving this channel, makes me wanna visit. Just one suggestion show more food and less people. I mean you can show the food and have the people talking in the background.

[@skunkycatog]

Yooo my boi, that Spanish was pretty legit man 😂😂😂😂

[@snydesy]

Shouldn’t the butter go on before the cheese? Just a thought

[@stanhamilton6031]

Nope, that way the sour cream and butter will melt gently through the melting cheese into the potato and permeate throughout the toppings.Take your time and enjoy the flavors as well as the conversations between friends!

[@snydesy]

Yall sure they teach this at the professional culinary school you assume he went to? Butter application 101

[@kocahilmi]

Shouldn’t you altogether not put so much butter on it in the first place? You know, in case you want to provoke cardiac arrest. Why oh why? No reason: everything is big in Texas, including the casket..?

[@chris2302]

I'd request pico de gallo and jalapeños in place of the butter and sour cream if they were available. I've never liked butter and sour cream on my baked potato.

[@bandccoresohio]

Yes

[@stevereist1509]

Great place, good food.

[@melissastewart247]

I wonder how long it would take me to get there from Pueblo CO. Lol

[@aggie7756]

It shouldn't take you very long to get to the Texas panhandle, but then brace yourself for a long-ass, 12 hr+ drive to the southern tip. Just make sure you come hungry. 😄

[@joseortiz6637]

You’re better off saving yourself time and gas, it’s not that great. Closer to you in Ft. Worth Heim BBQ a true gem or Hard Eight BBQ highly recommend both.

[@nuggbbq9886]

I’ve been searching all my life for a recipe for those beans!! If you have one please share a link.

[@freddyguerrero8241]

RGV baby!!!!

[@AdrianGodoy3054]

Yummy

[@Vamppzx]

Ribs are always good , the beans have there good and bad days I guess, and Banana pudding is 👌🏻, just wish they would put more vanilla wafers. Brisket is ok at times, sometimes it is tender and juicy and other times dry 😒. Not so bad food but for the price you pay, I want to get my moneys worth.. Ohhh and Always ask for extra bbq sauce. 😋😉

[@That_annoying_Rat]

Throw in a Texas steak with that would be a perfect menu

[@indyhco]

Yeah they have steak on the menu, up to a 34oz. Farmer steak

[@UmmCarl]

If you don't eat at Manuel's in Port Isabel you're out of your mind.

After the first cup of beans they charge you, but it's worth it I ate 4 cups last time I went

[@PenusDrippings]

my review on google-maps I said they tasted like they were seasoned with bacon. the owner replied they dont use bacon only brisket. 2:16 what is that hanging off of the cup?

[@nancyjanzen5676]

Best pinto beans I ever ate.

[@muthatruckajones3314]

The pinto bean soup before you get your menu might be the smartest thing ever. There's a place I go just to get the fresh chips and queso.. but you have to get the carnitas tacos to go with.

If it’s in foil, it’s not a baked potato, it’s a steamed potato.

[@carlosleandry12]

why not pour the beans over the Potato?

Hello Lisa and Bill. Waiting for my Philippine Fiancé paperwork to come to the states. See you guys soon. Michael

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

Dude at one point you took a bite that had aluminum foil on fork, maybe should've removed the foil first as it's the first thing I always do when eating a bake potato and always will be, well because I eat the skin and all & I also smash the crap out if the potatoe to mix & melt the toppings and butter.

WO W

[@gregjohnson720]

Sorry folks but when a potato is put in aluminum foil it steams and does not bake. This is a misnomer that many people make. If the potato is baked naked in the oven THEN it is a baked potato.

[@urthumbs2slow]

What???No Steak....C'mon man..lol

[@elbob248]

They do have steaks.

[@strictlyquality]

I agree with Snydesy, where is the common sense to how to dress a stuffed potato, these people got it all backwards, common sense would tell you to put the butter in first, followed by the cheese and then topped with the hot brisket/meat which will melt the cheese from the top while the hot potato will melt the butter and the bottom side of the cheese making it a much better meal, vs what they have now, trying to eat a scoop of cold butter. Absolutely Crazy! Come on people wake up and smell the potato!!!!
