Whether you are visiting Texas or you have lived here your whole life, it’s always good to know about the most iconic foods in Texas. But most importantly, you should try all of them. There’s a reason these meals made it on the list!
Barbecue
Texas screams barbecue. There’s something delicious about having juicy meat fall right off the bone. You can find a barbecue joint almost anywhere in Texas. In fact, you might not be able to try all of the joints in a lifetime even if you tried! If you are looking for smoky food, barbecue is a great place to start.
Chicken Fried Steak
You’ve probably tried fried chicken before, but have you tried fried steak? This is as classic as it gets. Texas loves its fried food, especially when you can top it with gravy. Try our beloved Texan food if you haven’t yet!
Fair Food
Speaking about fried food, have you checked out our fair food? We deep fry everything we can, including Oreos, pickles, cheesecake, and ice cream. And we take advantage of any holiday or celebration to host a fair. And what about our Texas State Fair? If you haven’t checked that out yet, we highly recommend it.
Tex-Mex
Texas borders Mexico and almost half the population is made up of Hispanic Texans. Therefore, it is no surprise that Tex-Mex food is one of the iconic foods in Texas. Try some fajitas or loaded nachos with black beans, beef, and sour cream. They always hit the spot.
Whataburger
Every state has its iconic fast food stop. In Illinois, Portillos is the spot. Here in Texas, Whataburger is a popular choice among Texans. If you are visiting Texas, make sure to have this on your to-do list!
