Del Rio Tortilla Factory.

The tamales are delicious and I will definitely be back.
The line was long, but they got us in and out quickly.
I only suggest checking your order before you leave.
They repeated my order correctly, but when I got home, they gave me regular chicken tamales and not chicken jalapeño.

Always love the tamales.
Pork is the best.
Must remember to get more salsa.
Enjoy the barbacoda with corn tortillas.
Unfortunately, they ran out, so i had to do without.
Abundant of flour so those that can have flour, enjoy.
Prices are fair as well, given the economy.

There are plenty of well known "Tortillerias" around town that also feature Tamale and Barbacoa on their menu.
I'm not going to bother naming them, but I will categorilly state that Del Rio is now my go to place for "Barbacoa, Tortilla, & Tamale" fix! The "Special" barbacoa is essentially the "All Meat" barbacoa for the purist that prefers less fat in their barbacoa.
I consider myself an "All Meat" purist, and I can say that this is one delicious barbacoa! And priced for less than $12, you won't find a better tasting barbacoa at this price. The tamales are also reasonably priced for less than $12 a dozen.
However, these tamales are on the smaller size compared to other tamales.
However, what they lack in "volume" is more than made up in the superb "quality" of the tamales.
The tamales are delicious AND the only tamales that consistently slide out the husk with no need to use any utensil to slide them out of their husk. The tortillas are also one of the best I've sampled.
Both corn and flour also are incredibly easy to reheat.
Be warned, these tortillas have no preservatives and must be refrigerated in order to store them once you decide to store them. The only criticism is that this is a "Tortilleria" and not a restaurant.
No dining is provided and you can only order your food to go. This is one of those establishments where they will sell out of their products and you need to make an effort to arrive early in order to purchase what you want.
The lines do move quickly, thanks to the 5 cashiers they have to process your order.
Despite their high volume, the staff are courteous and helpful, letting you know of any deals that may save you money. I live near the Medical Center, in the NW side of town.
But I now drive across town to this wonderful "Southside" hole in the wall to get my weekly fix of Tamales, Barbacoa, and Tortillas for the week. I highly recommend this Tortilleria.
You may become an enthusiastic customer like me! Definitely, a 5 Star rating!
