Barbacoa, should have been a 1lb but it was way short and wasn't made fresh this was frozen. Tortillas some were some fresh made and some old mixed in. You get a very small amount of watered down salsa for two tacos when your order is "1lb" and 10 tortillas. Two people working and one is the cashier who provided poor customer service and was more interested in reading vs helping with the sale.

The food is okay at best. The barbacoa is frozen, and it is visible in the lobby cooler. The ordering process is lengthy, and you will be waiting a while as they prepare all the orders at the same time without prioritizing who came in first. I would not recommend this place as it is pricey, and the quality of food is just frozen barbacoa.

I have been going to this location every other week. The owner is pretty nice, and the service is great. I'm impressed that their are only 2 people working there. An the amount of customers they are able to take in. The transactions are quick.

Everything they sell is flavorful and delicious. Expect to be in line for some time, as there are only 2 workers and a ton of people in line. The food is worth the wait! Get there early to possibly miss the rush and assure they don't run out of anything.
This is literally the whole in the wall that has great barbacoa and tamales and even better that it's on the NE side! Thank God! Their Menudo, tamales and barbacoa is so delicious!! They sell out fast so you gotta get there early. It's so worth the wait and I'm so glad i don't have to drive across town to get some good barbacoa, cause it's right here on my side of town! Let's support this local business in OUR neighborhood (if you're from these parts) and tell our friends and neighbors about this place! For years we have not been dissapointed! So glad that my grandma found this place years ago ! Now i buy it for my family to enjoy!! Thank you Tony's Barbacoa for serving us !!
Kid-friendliness: It's a small place so there's not much room for kids to run. You're in line with other customers. It's more of an in and out place. No tables or chairs
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes and no. It's a tiny spot , and it gets really packed. As far as parking and to get inside, yes it's wheelchair accessible
Been going here for years now....Tony knows what is doing. The Barbacoa is always the same...great! My wife loves the Menudo as well... prices are reasonable. Taking under consideration that now at any restaurant 1 taco of barbacoa will run about $3. We get a combo of about 1lb of barbacoa, beans, tortilla and for under $20. Try it!

The owners are so kind, always up early ready to serve and open on the holidays! Everything they make is absolutely DELICIOUS! Sundays they sell out quick so be sure to get there early and be ready for a line, but it is worth it.
This is the best barbacoa and tamales in San Antonio! I’m from the valley and have been looking for really good barbacoa and this is it! The tamales are fluffy and full of flavor and they don’t skimp on the filling. The green salsa is amazing and white corn tortillas don’t taste like the gross grocery ones. Definitely worth checking out.
The best barbecue!!! It transports you to Mexico, the attention they give you is great!!

I'm really upset with the customer service,so I ordered two dozen tamales for Thanksgiving for 1pm but the actual place closes at 2pm, I arrived for my order a little late to find out the owner had sold my order I'm very disappointed with the service!!! I'm more upset that they didn't call when they asked for a number to be left when the order was placed at least to confirm if I was still going to make it or if I was on my way! No consideration or care for customer satisfaction
I went to get to try Tony’s Barbacoa and let me tell you… it was delicious ? definitely going every weekend
