Balderas Tamale Factory

The food is very much like the food that I had when I was living in San Antonio. The service was fast and friendly even they were busy and I am talking about out the door line busy. But they still manage to get everyone's food including the dine in. We had lunch first kind if give it a taste test. LOL. Then after we order a bunch of tamales of different flavors, rice & beans, menudos. That was the kicker in my mind. But the tamales was good as well. So would I go back? Yea if course and I will try out their other munes items when I am there. Keep up the good food.

Balderas is in a Universe all of their own when it comes to Breakfast Tacos and Tamales. I used to live nearby and took it for granted - There is nobody even close to their quality and flavor. It's slow but perfection takes time - bring a book.

Best tamales around! I personally love the spicy ones. Both pork and beef are great. But the breakfast tacos are literally are a part of our life. We've been regulars for many years, since old location days. My boys were little when we started eating there, actually picking up from there. They didn't have a sit down area yet. Picadillo potato tacos will forever be a memory for them! Best tamales and tacos!!!!!

Best chips & queso!! Love their tamales & the puffy tacos!!! Gotta give it a try! Really great fresh food

I bought 3 or 4 dozen tamales to go. Chicken, Beef and Bean. My favorite was the beef. However, they were all very good and their service was friendly. But when I got home they had seriously shorted me on the amount I purchased. Be sure to count your tamales before you leave.

Im of Hispanic descent and I have to admit that I judge a restaurant by their Salsa! . So let's not dance around the subject! ;). I have not had this level of authentic food in a very long time. Their salsa is delicious that my taste buds were doing a salsa dance on their own! Service was prompt and courteous. Prices were SUPER affordable, I bought a plate of food, two tacos, and a snack Queso Dip for $19. Unheard of in the economy! I'm really excited to have stumbled across this little gem and plan on bringing my parents whom I know will love it more than me!!

After years of having their tacos, a situation arose about 5 years ago where they decided to forget our queso for a to go order. We ended up going back, after having already paid for it then PAID FOR IT AGAIN. Fast forward to a few days ago, we decided to try again for the first time since then. We were rudely greeted (as have for a decade) by the toothless lady. My mother and I ask for just a water cup, after buying $20 worth of queso and tacos. We were told "you can only buy the water bottles, we don't do water cups". Stupid, but no problem... I decide to go get my water cup out of the truck, then was rudely told "no outside drinks". Look guys, your queso is great but doesn't make up for your poor customer service, lack of manners, and expensive prices (oh and your tortillas are store bought trash). Will never be back here.

Great good for reasonable price. We have been going there for years . It improved a lot over the years for sure . If you want simple Mexican food then this is your place .

The pork tamales are great. I steam them in my crockpot for family gatherings. Grab a couple of breakfast tacos, they are delicious.

Paid $15.95 for a dozen tasteless chicken tamales. The place was crowded with people picking up their orders on December 22nd. I am wondering why so many people were getting them. Apparently they didn't order the chicken!
