The barbacoa and tamales were great as well as the price.To be honest,I wasn't expecting it to be that good,due to the location.But I was proven wrong.

Forget about all other locations in San Antonio and drive down to Rio's Barbacoa, not only for the best food in town but an all-around awesome and friendly staff. My family and I have been coming here for over 14 years and the food continues to amaze me. Highly recommend ordering the number #1 special for a family of 4 but has other specials. When the whole family gets together, grab your Menudo, tamales, and carnitas (don't forget your Big Red) and enjoy family and make memories like we have for over 14 years.

I love Rios barbacoa and menudo but BIG BIG thumbs down on tamales. 1st and last time having them. Out of two dozen we ate two tamales. Big waste of money. They are very thin and allllll maza. ?

Delicious food, only complaint is that they run out of eat tamales way too early for how long they're open, but I guess that just means I need to get there earlier! Good stuff

Rios is by far the best barbacoa place in town! If you’re looking for a place that has lean, juicy and flavorful meat, this is it. Don’t get discouraged by what seems to be a long line whether it’s in the drive-through or inside because I promise you it goes by very fast and it is so worth the wait. If you get down, they have free coffee and donuts while you wait to order! Rios has various packages you can pick from but also offer other things like Carnitas, Menudo, Lengua, corn and flour tortillas, avocados, and a variety of soft drinks. And service is always friendly!

Tamales would be great if there was actually enough meat inside not just masa

Went there to try the barbacoa, carnitas, and lengua, but I was told they only had barbacoa and that they have the lengua and carnitas only every so often. I said thanks but no thanks. I left without trying the barbacoa but I don't think I will make the drive again.

This was our first time at this establishment. We drove from an hour away and wanted a place to eat after church. The barbacoa was so delicious along with the corn and flour tortillas.. We sat down to eat and they warmed up our tortillas. They also gave us extra food. The owner was very friendly to us and to everyone. The customer service was great. They are all very welcoming. We will definitely be coming back again. 10/10 definitely recommend!

$30 for stiff tortillas …. Tamales the size of my index finger with barely to no meat. You’re better off going to la michoacana and getting tamales there! Much larger and fuller of meat. Barbacoa was good tho
