Trevino's Barbacoa
Rudy R.

It was Sunday I just got off work, and had been craving tamales since Avatar Friday. I make a stop at one place ask how much for a dozen of Tamales the man behind the counter says $8.59. $8.59 that's way to expensive for me. So I exit drive down Nacogdoches some more, and stop at Trevino's Barbacoa go inside and the overhead menu board says Tamales $6.49. Awesome I thought the man behind the counter was busy helping other customers with there barbacoa orders. Which I must say looked really good. But, I'm not here for barbacoa I here for the tamales. Finally my turn to order; "What kind of tamales do you have" the man informs me pork, spicy pork, beef, and bean. I say my order "I'll have a dozen of pork the man opens a steaming ice chest and pulls out a piping hot nicely wrapped dozen of tamales. My eyes get big; big like Ralphie on Christmas Story when he finally gets his BB gun. I pay for the tamales run to the car, and right away open them and grab one. Wait I have to snap a local pic before I devour my first dozen of tamales for Christmas Season 09. Snap!! Then the first bite I thought good; not the best. But it sure does beat driving to another side of town waiting in a Black Friday type line only to buy $9 dozen of tamales that were really not the type you wanted. So, I gave Trevino's Barbacoa Tamales 3 stars for being at the right place, right time, and right price.

1 pound of all meat goodness!

Barbacoa excellent. Tamales were a little spicy. I like spice but I am looking for holiday party. Gotta find mild.

I was really impressed with this place! The all meat barbacoa was clean and delicious. The tortillas, salsa, and pico rounded out the meal.

The Seoul Asian Food Market & Cafe meets all these criteria. The authentic and high quality factors are met with flying colors. A couple Korean employees, plus, yes, Hispanic workers, etcetera, which tells me it is owned by people who definitely know their product. The best selling brands in Korea, including Lotte, Nongshim, Ottogi, are stocked in this little grocery store. The budget conscious can rest assure that although we are not protected from inflation, as far as paying far less than the analogous HEB or Kroger international section upcharges, Seoul has you covered. The customer service enhancements to your grocery store experience should be appreciated here. All the workers I encountered during my latest visit (in addition to all my previous ones over the years) have been excellent-- whether the owner trying his best to locate products I was on the hunt for, the back room stockers whom may not have been able to speak English, yet still made the effort to give me big smiles, the checkout lady who was more than glad to do multiple price checks, the cafe employee who was ready and willing to offer recommendations and a welcoming smile. The hot food criteria has more than earned it's place with the inside Seoul Market Cafe-- note that this does not include the full service establishment connected next door, which includes drinks and sit down dining services, owned by the same wonderful people but with a separate entrance. They have pre-packaged ready to go meals, including all your Korean favorites including house made bulgogi, bibimbap, gimbap (seaweed rice rolls), kimchi. Nice area to sit down before and/or after gathering all your Korean grocery needs! The few areas where Seoul could benefit from some improvements are their store upkeep and the stocked shelves. Unfortunately, many times when I have visited they are out of stock of things and even more frustrating because they have such great products. Is that if you go during certain days of the week they are actually in boxes all over the store. The box is making not only difficult to navigate through the already small store, but customers are unable to access many of the goods. There is also the problem of price tags being mismatched and many missing the prices altogether. Although running these items to the front for a price check is an option, it is obviously something that is inconvenient as a regular necessity. The freshness of the produce honestly is less than ideal. You can tell a lot have been sitting around for longer than necessary. Without the regular water sprays, they also suffer from produce drying out. The variety, while sufficient for this size sore, I do often find myself wishing the store were a little larger to accompany a larger variety. With these few improvements, this little neighborhood grocery store would easily receive my five stars, that being said, I would not hesitate to revisit-- indeed, I would not hesitate to continue my semi regular visits for Korean groceries!

This time I saw a review of the pho and it is recommended to ask for ribs and oxtail which I did that. I just got back from Vietnam not too long ago and let me tell you this is hands down the best pho in San Antonio! The owner is so so friendly! He took me to the kitchen showing me how he cook the broth. We had a chat about Vietnam and the food and different style of pho between north and south. At the end of my meal he brought out snacks and insisted on me taking a hand full of them! I believe this pho is only offered on weekends and make sure to ask for the mix. For a moment they thought I was ordering one of each This supermarket and cafe truly give you a Vietnam experience without the need to get on a plane. Highly recommend

Half of the market was closed off, but something new that popped up near the front of the store was a coffee/smoothie bar. We stopped in for a quick to go order of a coffee, pastry, and smoothie. I loved the fact that there is an option to make your own. I was able to choose my base, 2 fruit options, and a veggie. I chose - blueberry, strawberry, (comes with a banana), spinach, and almond milk. Perfect! Healthy and fresh. The girl behind the counter was friendly and accommodating. There's also a gelato bar. Curious to see what's new when renovations are done!

He specifically told me to come back today for veal cutlets, assuring me that if they weren't already out, he would cut them fresh for me. When I arrived, I was told the shipment never came and they didn't have any. Mistakes and shipment delays happen, but what made this truly frustrating was the complete lack of customer service. When I explained that I had just made an 80-mile round trip based on their explicit word, the only response I received was a dismissive "too bad." I expected far better accountability and communication from a store that prides itself on quality and service. Very disappointing experience.

I opted for a two meat with fatty brisket and ribs with collard greens and brisket beans as sides. There was almost a $300 up charge for the ribs but I decided to try it. Where do I start? Price or Taste? Taste. I thought every thing tasted pretty good. I was surprised that the greens had flavor but I really enjoyed them. Normally, in grocery stores, they usually taste as if they were poured from the can with no doctoring. The brisket beans were flavorful. The star of the show was the meat. I like my sauce with vinegar but they were out do I got sweet on the side. Honestly, I didn't use the sauce. The meat was tender and well seasoned. I tasted the sauce and found it really good. Not overly sweet but just right. I probably would dip instead of pour if I decide to try it with the meat next time. So this meal cost me just over $20. I found that a bit pricey for three ribs and a couple pieces of brisket but I've paid more for badly cooked food in this city so I'll leave that be. Service was quick and fact. I don't have any ambiance to rate since I went took the drive thru route. Overall, I enjoyed it and I'll be back again.

This commissary tends to have better options than the one on FT Sam. I have found a lot more of the staple items that I like to get, here at Randolph. Also, any of the times that I have shopped here have not been too crowded, which is nice. The store is very well stocked & clean. The layout is not too bad either & better than other commissaries that I have shopped in. Generally speaking, commissary pricing is usually close to what you would pay out on the normal economy, however I have seen some items that have been higher than say, Walmart or HEB. But, the trade off is that you're not paying tax on your groceries here, so it kind of evens out at times. I also appreciate the fact that the times that I have been here, the self-checkout line has not been insanely long. I imagine it probably can be though, depending on what time of day you are shopping. Fortunately, I live about equal distance between here & FT Sam, so I can easily go to either, since they both have different offerings. However, this will definitely be my go to.
