Opinions de Rios Barbacoa San Antonio
We are from the RGV and whenever we are in San Antonio and want Barbacoa.. this is our go to for great Barbacoa, warm tortillas, and a Big Red.. the hospitality is the best. They have a table which is great for us travelers that can easily get a Barbacoa Fix. The coffee is free with a donut. Que mas quieres ♥️. Love it..
They drained the grease well on the barbacoa, had very little fat and the flavor was great. Priced well for the pound and had good specials. Will now be choosing Rios for my go to pick up for family gatherings. They have a drive thru..
Barbacoa had good taste with just enough grease. Will come back.
Barbacoa is really really good & salsa taste is great & great customer service..
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rios Barbacoa is hands down my favorite! Their barbacoa is absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and not super greasy. The tortillas are amazing too, soft, fresh, and never soggy even by the time you finish eating. They have a drive thru and are always super quick, plus every employee I’ve met has been extremely nice and friendly. I can’t get barbacoa from anywhere else because nothing compares to this place!
Must have the menudo! We always go here on the weekends to buy barbacoa. The barbacoa is clean and tasty. We tried the menudo this weekend, and it was delicious. Will order again. The lady at the window is super friendly!
Rios Barbacoa on Huebner is always 5 Star their manager and staff are always on point and very courteous. The barbacoa, corn tortillas, salsa, avocado and Big Red are always on point. Their barbacoa is never greasy and to me that speaks volumes…
This was my first visit to the Huebner. location. I was greeted as soon as I opened the door. What a refreshing surprise! It looked very clean inside and the menu options were clearly visible. Business was steady, but there was no line. I as in and out in less than 5 minutes. And, they helped me carry my items to the car. The food was awesome. I ordered menudo, barbacoa and chicharrones. I definitely recommend this place.
Went to try this place out over the weekend and I was IMPRESSED!! It started with the awesome customer service as I got to the drive-thru window. I had my dog with me and the lady at the window was so sweet to us and friendly. She even gave my dog a few treats as I decided on what I was going to order. I ended up going with the barbacoa special with tortillas and salsa. Their barbacoa is juicy and tender but not too greasy AT ALL. Their salsa compliments the barbacoa wonderfully and isn’t too spicy. I would’ve liked it spicier but it’s a good and flavorful green salsa and the tortillas were good too. All in all… I think I’ve found my new weekend barbacoa spot! 💖 (it is dog approved as well. She LOVED it lol)
Rios is by far the best barbacoa place in town! If you’re looking for a place that has lean, juicy and flavorful meat, this is it. Don’t get discouraged by what seems to be a long line whether it’s in the drive-through or inside because I promise you it goes by very fast and it is so worth the wait. If you get down, they have free coffee and donuts while you wait to order! Rios has various packages you can pick from but also offer other things like Carnitas, Menudo, Lengua, corn and flour tortillas, avocados, and a variety of soft drinks. And service is always friendly!
This was our first time at this establishment. We drove from an hour away and wanted a place to eat after church. The barbacoa was so delicious along with the corn and flour tortillas.. We sat down to eat and they warmed up our tortillas. They also gave us extra food. The owner was very friendly to us and to everyone. The customer service was great. They are all very welcoming. We will definitely be coming back again. 10/10 definitely recommend!
There's nothing better on a Sunday morming than stopping to get some barbacoa. Rios is great because you can either go inside and grab your food or go through the drive-thru. We chose the drive-thru and although the line was about 10 cars deep, the line moved quickly. The ordering process is very easy and the combos are great for feeding a few people. My only complaint is the lack of coffee/proper containers for coffee to go. The barbacoa is so good and it's seasoned perfectly. Also, unlike other places the barbacoa is not too fatty. Their tortillas and hot sauce pair perfectly with the meat. Tamales have good flavor, but are a little light on the meat.
As part of my #ShareMyExperience journey, today I made a stop at Rios Barbacoa, and I must comment on a few things. 1. Hospitality ✅ The staff team were very professional, clear and concise in communicating their menu option. 2. Quality ✅ their barbacoa tasted so nice and had less oil compared to quite some places I’ve had the same. Overall, I will recommend this place if you’re looking to have a taste of something nice.

Delicious barbacoa! It’s not greasy at all. Nice and flavorful. The carnitas were moist and juicy. Tamales were on the small side and were ok, but they weren’t terrible. I wasn’t able to split a dozen unfortunately. The chicharrones were decent for the price. The flour tortillas were really good as well as the salsa. Great customer service too!
The owner/operator can become unhinged at times! There is a tremendous turnover of employees. I encountered a horrific explosive hateful 1sided shouting match against a young teenager who had mistakenly wasted barbacoa by using the wrong cleaning cloth! This was about 4 months ago. I stop going for 2 months & just started going back and see the continued change in employees.
This morning before work my daughter was craving barbacoa and of course I had to request a small menudo. I wasn’t able to eat it but I said to put it away for me. Finally the moment I get to enjoy it. 8:20pm. I must say I’m very dissatisfied with the serving that was given :/ I’m not sure if you’ll were running low but the amount of hominy and meat ratio was very off. I’ve never been served menudo like this regardless of the size I order. I was going to heat it up and enjoy it but instead I’ll pass. Our order consisted of a #1 xtra half lb of barbacoa, small menudo ,xtra pack of corn tortillas. Sadly I’ll have to find a new place. We don’t live close anyway but it used to be worth the drive.
