Tamale Boy

Decided to drop off here and try their famous tamales. Ordered one dozen of their spicy tamales with cheese and two tacos! Both were very taste, filling, and spicy. The service was quick and the order took about 3 minutes. Its best if you call and pay ahead of time so you don't wait in line when you get there. There is not a big parking lot but if you have someone that can get out & pick up, it would be a lot easier. The ambiance can be hot or cold, depending when you go to pick up or order. When you get there, you have to get in-line to order and pay or pick up (already paid). Everything is done outside.

Excellent tamales . Their homemade tamales made by tamale boy and his family & a handful of employees. So we ordered pork tamales and then an order of bean and cheese and jalapeño tamales.I have to tell you that the bean and cheese and jalapeño tamales are my favorite. They are the best. now the pork tamales are pure pork and they're packed with a lot of meat. If you like meaty tamales this is your guy.

Went searching for tamales a couple days before Christmas and decided to give this place a try. I knew the inventory would be low but they had still had some good options (sold out the day before). I went with the carne guisada and pork, I had to try to carne guisada before meeting with family because it looked so good and I have no self control. It was the best tamale I've had and now I'm hesitant to bring the rest to share with everyone. The staff were super friendly and efficient. I'll def be going back to try their other options when it's not peak tamale season.

We stopped in to order some tamales for thanksgiving and picked some up for dinner. We went close to closing time and they were sold out of a lot of things but we snagged a dozen of the Kadillac (pork, cream cheese, spinach, and serranos). They are so good! A lot of filling and this combination is super unique but yummy. The red hot sauce is tasty too.

Arrived after searching for tamale pick up one Saturday morning and even though the sign said open and the hours posted stated they were open the store was closed. Guess I'll never know if the food was worth the effort.

Tamales and tacos are very delicious, tasty and makes you crave more.....Excellent Service at either location, and when you are lucky enough to catch Tamale Boy making the rounds at night !! Yes he comes to you with hot fresh food !!!Always a smile and a possible selfie at any location you may catch Tamale boy at !! Ambiance travels with him making everyone feel like it's Grandma's Kitchen......homemade everything yum

For the best San Antonio has to offer, let Tamale Boy show you what they have. From the outrageous to the basic, you cannot go wrong.

Delicious Tamales, the meat is recognizeable and a good size unlike the finger food size that others sell.

I want to start off by saying I've know this man since he was selling tamales out of his back pack in his high school days. His tamales were great then and they are still great now. You can't go wrong with tamale recipe's from your mom and hard work. I was delighted to see this location close to home. I ordered a dozen of pork and another dozen of chicken chile verde. Simply the best tasting tamales I have had to date. If you have never tried tamales I would highly encourage anyone to try these first.
