The Texas Bucket List - Nana's Taqueria in Weslaco

It is time for lunch down in the valley, so we headed over to Nana's Taqueria for some delicious lonches!

[@grynblud]

My wife and I first went to Nana's when it was about fifteen chairs in the back of their family home. Now, we are regulars. It's a remarkable success story of hard work and tasty food by Roxy, Alfredo, family, and staff. The lonches are good, but there is also a lot more great food. My personal favourite is Nana's Big Torta, a sandwich, or the Taco Pirata.

Great comment, amigo 👍

Taco pirata is my all time favorite.

I was born in Mercedes, Texas back in 1958. Weslaco didn't have a hospital back then. Growing up in Weslaco the places to eat were Whataburger, Broncos and My Place. As a teenager one of the favorite spots was Keno Cafe ( hamburger basket plain, no vegetables and an iced tea ).

[@romanpena455]

I didn't enjoy lettuce, tomatoes and onions on a Whataburger until I had been on a diet for several months in Harlingen, Texas. The burger tasted so good.

Born in the RGV, military took me to many scenic places around the world, like Vietnam. Stayed in San Diego since '72, but I sure miss the food in South Texas.

Love The Bucket List. Often look at his on-line map and eat at "Bite of the Week" places when traveling across the Great State of Texas.

You should’ve tried the bistek or tripa lonches 😋

[@chrisgarcia9629]

[@FEdeRioBravo]

I always pass by, but never stop to eat there. FM1015 in Weslaco.

[@rachaelsmith7924]

I grew up in weslaco, and the next I visit the valley ,I'm going to stop and taste y'all food

[@franciscosandiego3026]

Yes I like Texas bucket list videos, from the imperial co California.

[@jesgarcia2590]

San Diego Imperial Beach California???

[@user-ry6oh9xn1u]

Imperial County east of San Diego County. Kind of like a mini Rio Grande Valley.

[@houstontxdave6876]

I wilk have to stop at this place the next time im down in the valley

[@frankmarullo228]

If I ever get down that way from montana I'm going there. ......

[@ila2409]

I would very like to visit Texas one day

[@TheEnnisfan]

Lonches are basically bolillo sandos from Northern Mexico. Very common in the states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Durango. Except they're made with bolillo rolls instead of those tiny hot looking buns at Nana's. They also don't load 'em up with all that stuff. You choose the meat and they typically add lettuce, tomato, onions, guac, and jalapeños. It's very similar to a torta, if you will.

[@lealperformance779]

Awesome 👌🆒️

[@tonyguerra2667]

Lonches where invented in Nvo progreso Mexico that’s why people drive all the way to nvo progreso people in the valley buy the bread from nvo progreso and bring it over to Texas a lot of places sell lonches in the valley they are called lonches progreso style but they mean progreso Mexico not Texas

[@opalmoon2256]

😋😋😋

[@frankmagana8237]

🤤

[@Thedirtylittletruth]

Wanna try

[@PenusDrippings]

You can’t smell the cilantro or the seasonings. All you can smell is the grease from the bread. But they are decent tasting.

[@abbyx9861]

went for brunch, was greeted by the host very friendly. server stoped to get the drinks order then never saw her again, had to get up n find someone, second server took our order got the orders wrong when I pointed out it was the wrong type of coffee - server was bother by it, made it seem that it was my mistake even though he was the one the recommended the cafe 3 leches. food was also wrong did not feel comfortable pointing it out - so just left it at that n paid the bill. liked the restaurant not the service - if u don‘t mind eating what they bring you regardless of what u order then this is the place for u.

[@manuelmoreno1391]

To be honest I live in weslaco and I've been there its more of an American style food! you can get better for from a street vendor I don't agree at all with this video

[@FEdeRioBravo]

I've always seen the Progreso Luncheones, as a mini tortas. Picadio is TexMex version of Taco Bell. Best Torta I ever had was Asian part of Atlanta.- Bufford Hwy. Everything is written in Spanish, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese. Korean joint where the whole menu is written in Korean. BBQ Pork Sandwich is how you would order it. Bollo hard cust bread (like you find in CDMX). Inside it had a butter inside pork long cut shoe string carrot and jicama. Bad ass Sandwich.

[@thecjlife7682]

People only go for the music because honestly the food is bad. We went for a birthday party and service was slow and food was cold. I don't know how you guys ended up there but it's a big 👎 for me. Sunrise in weslaco is over hyped as well the food is ok but not worth going.

[@manuelmoreno1391]

That place isn't even that good

[@Amarillobymorning777]

A lot of bread 🥖 No thanks in this one .

[@lenalyles2712]

Not as much as it looks. They really stuff them.

[@Amarillobymorning777]

@@lenalyles2712 Well, just because you comment on it I’ll try them. Greetings from North Texas.

[@jmcdelafuente4868]

Im from mexico and we dont make this dish over there 🤔🤔 so i dont know what are they talking o promoting that is not a mexican dish

[@cdemp4795]

I think lonches were originally made only in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico. When I was a kid about 45-50 years ago, my parents would take us across to Nuevo Progreso from Texas and street vendors would sell lonches like the ones in this video. The owners of Nana's are originally from Nuevo Progreso.

[@pumbadanny1691]

place has recently started going downhill. meat is just super super greasy.

[@louiehill1693]

rip. this place isnt even that good.

[@gilbertrivera1293]

Not that good and not a good person at all.

[@adrianmolina821]

Hater

[@leonardovela1888]

That place is trash
