Rio Heat Show & The BEST Boots & BBQ in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas!

Rio Heat Car Show & Texas BBQ Tour: Mercedes, TX Join us for an epic weekend in the Rio Grande Valley! We headed down to the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Showgrounds in Mercedes, Texas, for the high-energy Rio Heat Car & Truck Show. After missing the Estos Vatos Car Club show in Laredo back in April, we knew we had to make the trip to catch up with the crew and see some of the cleanest builds in South Texas. From slammed trucks to classic lowriders, the RGV scene did not disappoint! Beyond the Car Show: Boots & BBQ We made the most of our time in Mercedes by diving deep into Texas culture: Rios of Mercedes Handmade Boots: We got an exclusive look at the legendary craftsmanship of Rios of Mercedes. They’ve been hand-making premium boots since 1853, and seeing their process in person was a masterclass in Texas heritage. The Ultimate BBQ Run: You can’t visit the RGV without hitting the Texas Monthly Top 50 list. We stopped at both Teddy’s Barbecue and GW’s BBQ. If you’re a fan of authentic Texas brisket and ribs, these two are absolute must-visits.
