About
El Tamalero Place brings a touch of authentic Mexican flavor to San Antonio, located at 4705 Rigsby Ave. Celebrated for its comforting comfort food, this cosy eatery is particularly popular for lunch and solo dining. The highlight is undeniably the barbacoa, praised by many as the best around, alongside their flavorful pork and jalapeño tamales. Enjoy a quick bite in a casual atmosphere, with accessibility options for all. Cash and card payments are welcome, making it a convenient stop for families. Just be prepared for a bit of an assertive service experience!
El Tamalero Place offers a cozy vibe perfect for a casual lunch. The barbacoa is a standout - full of flavor, though a bit fatty for my taste. The pork and jalapeño tamales pack just the right amount of heat. Can't wait to return for that salsa!

I recently tried the barbacoa at El Tamalero Place, and it blew my taste buds away! The flavor was rich and satisfying, definitely the best I’ve had. The pork and jalapeño tamales were equally delightful, offering just the right kick. Cozy atmosphere, perfect for a quick lunch... Can't wait to go back!

El Tamalero Place is a delightful find for any Mexican food enthusiast! 🌮 I recently visited and tried the pork & jalapeño tamales - they were bursting with flavor and had just the right amount of heat. The cozy atmosphere made it perfect for a quick lunch.
While I couldn't try the famous barbacoa this time, I heard raving reviews about it, claiming it to be the best in town! My only minor complaint would be the service - it could use a little warmth. Still, I’ll definitely be back for more...! 🥳
