Morenita Barbacoa is a highly recommended restaurant in San Antonio, known for its exceptional tamales, menudo, and barbacoa. The tamales are generously filled with meat, meaty, flavorful, and big, making them probably the most underrated for tamales and the best in town. The restaurant offers two varieties of barbacoa: the regular chunky style with more fat that adds juicy flavor, and all-meat chopped barbacoa that remains juicy and not dried out. Customers suggest ordering a pound of each to decide which they prefer, as both are excellent choices. The barbacoa and tamales are praised for their deliciousness, with the barbacoa being tender and mouth-watering. The tamales come in pork, chicken, beans & jalapeños, and cheese, with favorites including chicken with verde sauce and beans & jalapeños. The restaurant is a hidden gem, with a friendly and attentive staff that makes customers feel welcome, though seating is limited and most orders are to go. Customers highlight the consistent quality of fresh, delicious food and courteous service, making it a place worth visiting. Parking is free on the street and in front of the building, but since it’s next to a beauty salon, parking on side streets can be easier. It is a cash-only establishment, so visitors are advised to stop at an ATM beforehand. Overall, Morenita Barbacoa is a great place to enjoy traditional Mexican dishes that never disappoint.
