I had a great experience the staff was very friendly. The tamales and barbacova was on point. I can't complain. Great job. First time here.

Barbacoa taste like fake meat and not hot. Did not like flavor. $10 for half a pound. 1 pound is $17.95 They changed the price from $11.95 to $17.95. They need to update prices on their Google maps. Was able to make only 3 tacos with the half a pound they gave me. Does not feed 2 people. Thanks

Ohhhhhh the food SMACKS ✋ for my fellow tourists and native San Antonians - if you’re looking for barbacoa tacos you can stop looking, you found your spot 🌮 the flavor and quality of their meat is very authentic Cash only! We had to scramble and thank god we found a loose $10 My favorite thing about our visit is the family that owns this establishment is so humble and they have top tier customer service. You’ll walk in to walls lined with their family photos and memories all around I highly recommend. We will be back next time we are in town ❤️

Had gotten the barbacoa and we loved. Decided to eat in the car and once finished. We had to go back in for seconds. 😋 😋 absolutely recommend. I believe he was the owner or the cook but he is the best guy ever. Coming back tomorrow early for those tamales.
