Tellez Tamales & Barbacoa is a cozy spot with heartwarming flavors! Their menudo and carne asada hit the spot, and the tamales were a delightful treat. The prices might have crept up, but the quality remains strong. Perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch!

Tellez Tamales & Barbacoa is a cozy gem in San Antonio! 🌟

I swung by for breakfast and treated myself to their amazing barbacoa tacos and fresh tamales. The flavors are spot on - the tamales had a fantastic meat-to-masa ratio, and the barbacoa was tender and savory.

Service was quick, and the staff was super friendly! The atmosphere felt warm and family-oriented, making it a great spot for breakfast or brunch. Just a heads up, the prices have increased a bit recently, but the quality is still there.

Don’t miss it if you’re in the area! 😊
