Tellez Tamales & Barbacoa is a well-loved restaurant in San Antonio, known for its delicious menudo and flavorful barbacoa. Customers praise the homemade tortillas, tamales, and the early bird combo as great affordable options. The vegetarian-friendly refried bean and jalapeño tamales are also popular choices. Many enjoy the lunch specials, such as the picadillo plate with borracho beans and rice, and a cheese enchilada topped with gravy. The barbacoa is described as dry but tasty, not dripping in grease. The staff is friendly and accommodating, often offering tastes of different dishes. Some customers mention that inside feels like a cafeteria setting, but the food’s quality keeps them coming back. Despite slight price increases and a minor decline in flavor over time, Tellez Tamales & Barbacoa remains one of the city's top tamale destinations, with daily specials that make it a favorite.
