Pow !!! This place is 100% off the hook, delicious !!! I was spectacle about trying any more tamales any where. These are seasoned perfectly with the right amount of meat. They weren't salty !!! The spices were perfect and they use "manteca de puerco". Yes , I stated, " manteca de puerquito". Key to the true recipe of TAMALES. You have to stop and test for yourself. This is my spot, Mama's cooking. Absolutely worth my money. I've yet to have good tamales in all of San Antonio. This is it . Highly recommend this tamale shop. The service was quaint, family run business. They have a collection of antique with shrine for dia de los muertos at the entry. You can feel the hospitality . I paid $15 for each dozen of red chile pork tamales, they're the small rolled type on a single husk leaf. Standard in this region. Delicious!!! Thank y'all , keep up Mama's recipe.

These must be the tiniest most fattening tamales I ever saw. What a disappointment. It doesnt look like they washed the husks correctly since we found a few bugs, which is normal but not after properly cleaning them. A dozen of these is probably 4-6 regular tamales.

It's been a long time since I've tried Delicious tamales. I know I went to the one on Culebra years ago. I was pleasantly surprised on Sunday Morning that the S.Presa store sold Barbacoa also. I wanted to try the sweet tamales, but this location doesn't sell them It's very common for any tamale place to sell barbacoa, but it was a surprise to me because I had no plans on buying barbacoa. But ended up taking a pound home with salsa and corn tortillas I of course bought Pork tamales. I bought them for my mom. Who is a tamale connoisseur due to the fact she grew up in San antonio and has made hundreds of tamales by hand during the holidays.She flat out Did not like them. She said the tamales tasted of too much garlic and the meat was not red enough. The barbacoa on the other hand was a Home Run. Very Delicious indeed.

Man, Shout out to delicious tamales. I got a pound of barbacoa and some tamales with all the trimmings and i was not disappointed. This place is family owned and operated, it sure does give you that family vibe as you walk in. As soon i walked in i was greeted by Jon aka johnny trueluv as he said. Coolest dude by the way and he put me on serious game when it came to tamales and barbacoa. Shout out to his little brother topher as well. Definitely going back. This is an A1 establishment for sure. If you dont know about delicious tamales, well then you better ask somebody. 5 stars fasho!

Service was great and friendly. The name is so fitting. Don't let location or looks deter you from buying tamales here. I have been buying tamales here for over 30 years. I did preorder since it was the holidays.

When I received my food from the restaurant, The food wasn't freshly made. The food was already pre-made and reheated through the microwave. The barbacoa tasted blend, the tamales were stale and dry. This will be the first and the last time that I will be order tamales at this location. The owner doesn't take pride in what they do.

I called from Chicago because my mom in San Antonio was telling me about old memories about the whole family getting together for Christmas and the holidays. About how much fun and work prepping for the party. She needed a boost. So I called Delicious Tamales Factory on S. Presa I and talked to Chris and was able to have tamales delivered to my mom. They had them at her door in 30 minutes and hot and ready to eat. My mom was so happy that not only that I had ordered them for her. But so happy that someone came to deliver them to her. A very nice and professional person. Thank you Delicious for taking care of us so promptly and being so very nice.
