Tamale Boy - Menu

It's just that I was hoping for them to be a little bit more thicker for the price. But they're good

I don't usually get chicken, but these were really good. Chicken, poblano, cheese and spinach. Off the hook. Classic pork was really good also

Finally made it to check out the tamales but very disappointed tamales tasted too sour and too much garlic flavor. The menudo flavor was there but the hominy wasn't ready. Hominy was rubbery and undercooked. View menu

The tamales are decent, but be cautious about how much you'll be charged. The menu lists one price, but the receipt shows a different amount. They try to justify it by claiming it’s tax, but it seems like either they're overcharging or adding tax on top of tax.

Best tamales in San Antonio ! That's all I can say . Go try them for yourself . This hard working family dishes some fresh , fat filled tamales. My favorite is the bean , cheese with jalapeños. Tamale Boy knows exactly what his customers want and he will also custom make tamales for you if request them in advance.It was nice meeting you tamale boy. We ended up at your location off Jackson Keller and they were excellent.

The pork tamales had a great flavor. They were out of carne guisada, so I tried the barbacoa instead, but nobody in my house was particularly impressed. The filling was decent, and everything about the pork tasted fresh. However, the barbacoa didn't taste as fresh, lacked flavor, and had a mushier texture. I might come back, but I'm not sure I would order any of the premium tamales again since the more affordable pork ones were much better. View menu

I heard about yall on social media and I was excited to try yalls food. I always like to support small business. But atleast if ur gonna charge $20 a dz for tamales make sure it's worth it. I got home and the masa was so soggy. I also got a special #2. I'm sorry but 1lb of barbacoa, corn tortillas, 1 dz pork and a big red is not worth $40.99. Like I said I was excite to to u guys out. But the prices don't match the food. And for that I give 3 stars.

FOLKS SALT IS RUINING US cut your sodium. These tamales are salty. Young folks need to be more beware of tamales for the elders or people with high blood pressure and sodium intake issues. Chicken are salty and tasted like simple tasteless chicken inside. Bean is ok. But still salty. You can always add salt yourself at home but once you add it too much it’s overload and can’t take out. Salsa is good hot and flavorful. Hope they adjust the salt. The ones making tamales are not considering how much salt goes in. We live in southside and most of us have high blood pressure or diabetes. Watch the salt.
