Share your opinion about Tellez Tamales & Barbacoa
I wish they would update and post on their location when they’re sold out instead of having to drive all the way to find a piece of paper taped to door that it is sold out. I rely on your social media to check the store hours. It was really inconvenient rushing on my lunch time to purchase some tamales!
Tamales are great, friendly staff, clean establishment.
Service is not that good, the tamales don’t have a lot of meat in them, and they charge a lot. There are better places.

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.
