    Bean and jalapeno tamales
    Andrea G.

    They make the best bean tamales on Earth! We're vegan/vegetarian and good tamales are difficult for us to find. We live in California and discovered Delia's while visiting family in the area. Their tamales are amazing. They are the perfect mix of masa and filling. They aren't huge, which is fantastic because I can eat a few different varieties in one sitting. The salsas are what put this place over the top. They have a flavorful red salsa which tastes great without too much heat. Then there is the green salsa, which is hot and delicious. Oh, and they're cheap too. I think we only paid around $14 for 18 tamales last night.

    If you can ever get to a Delia's and you like tamales, you must go here. It's a staple of my trips to southern Texas. It's cheap, no-frills, great salsa, and flavorful tamales. The bean and jalapeno tamales with Delia's hot salsa is a real treat.

    Well I think I've found the best tamales I've ever eaten anywhere. There's no amount of reviews that will do these corn husk wrapped tamales justice they are so simple yet so delicious. My visit here today wasn't by accident once I knew I was going to be in the area I was determined to get my fill of the most authentic tamales I could fine and I think I succeeded. I ordered the beef tamales but with all the choices I'm not so sure if I shouldn't have ordered a half dozen of each but I knew that would be a waste since they come in minimum quantities of six I had to settle, so beef it was. I've read a review stating these tamales are on the thin side well they were perfect in my opinion with a perfect ratio of filling to masa. I ordered a dozen because I thought that would be the right amount after a half dozen it was apparent these aren't on the thin side after all I managed to down two more just because I knew this experience wasn't going to be easily repeatable in the near future. The green salsa was as equally amazing as was the old style 10 oz glass bottle of Coca-Cola made with real cane sugar to wash it all down. Located about 5 miles north of the U.S. Border with Mexico in Mission this simple little restaurant is everything you could hope for when it comes to authentic tamales, the validation was the steady flow of repeat customers ordering take out as well as dining in. It was a nice surprise to find out I can order these online and have them in a day or two, there is no doubt I will be placing an order in the next week or so, check out their website and give them a try I plan to be a regular customer even though it will be via FedEx and I can't check in lol.

    Never disappoints!!

Staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was lively. Started with the free tortilla chips and salsa. Salsa was served warm with very good flavor and a little kick to it. Ordered the Guacamole as well. Was very good with a blend of avocado, veggies and lime juice. I ordered the Buena Vida Pack, a delicious sampler. I finished every bite. My companion ordered the Governador Tacos and really enjoyed it. Total bill for two with beverage was ~$40. Be advised that they do not have alcoholic beverages. I definitely recommend.

Other than the meal, everything is served on styrofoam, utensils are plastic and cups are bad fast food plastic qualify. Con # 2: I asked the waitress if they had unsweet tea and pink packet sweetener. I asked about the pink packets 3 times and she said yes. She came back with yellow packets. I asked if they had pink packets and she said no. No to her. Con # 3: There are no free refills. I ordered two unsweet teas and the girl brought me two unsweet teas with yellow packets.

    The hands-down best taco restaurant I've ever been to (including taquerias I've been to in Mexico…read moreand in Texas' biggest cities). The vampiros are so insanely delicious, I regret not filling up on them when I order anything else. Their tortillas and fajita are really good too. The restaurant itself is nothing crazy, very mom and pop, and the parking is a tough situation. Very crowded lot. Service is also not phenomenal but the food is absolutely delicious! One feature of their service I'd love for them to fix: when you order, you wait in line at a window before being seated. If you decide later you want a single extra taco, you have to go get back in line AND they take just as long as they took to bring your food originally so if you don't order something initially, it'll take so long to get it after the fact that you'll wish you just left. Customers who are already seated should be able to order with waitstaff and not wait in line again for twenty minutes. That does not make sense.

    Tried this well-known taqueria that everyone talks about, and it was good overall, but I've…read morehonestly had better. The tacos were solid -- fresh ingredients, good portions, and nice flavors -- but nothing really stood out or wowed me. I think the hype set my expectations a little too high. The service was friendly and the place is small and cozy which I appreciated. It's definitely worth trying at least once if you're in the area, but for me it wasn't quite as memorable as I expected. I'd still come back, just not rushing to.
