This was my first time trying Delia’s, and I was really impressed! I recently moved from the South Side, so it’s quite hard finding good tamales in this area—but Delia’s absolutely delivered. The tamales had the perfect thickness, the masa was just right, and the pork filling was flavorful and tender. I would’ve liked a little more seasoning in the pork, but it didn’t take away from how delicious they were overall. Both the salsa verde and rojo were excellent too. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

Had their beef tamales delivered into my clinic and I have never tasted tamales like these, they are delicious and it reminded me of my mother’s! They are full of meat and moist not dry just right! Keep it up!

Wonderful pork tamales whether eating in the restaurant or taking home to reheat. A must-stop when in the area!

I have been going there for years since the tamales were $2:35 dozen. This year I notice the difference in the taste of the tamales, not as flavorful as they normally were. I did express this to the manager in hopes that they would take this as constructive feedback. I really do love those tamales. 3 hr drive one way without hesitation ✌🏽❤️

December 2025 Well, I'm back at Delia's to get some more tamales. My November purchase didn't last as long as I would have hoped. In any event, I came on a Monday, 12/15, around 11:30 am, and the lines were long (drive-thru and walk-in) as I would have expected. I came on Tuesday, 12/16, around 9:15 am, and the lines were long. So, I came on Wednesday, 12/17, and arrived 10 minutes before they opened at 7 AM. I was about 15th - 20th person in line, and it took me about 90 minutes to get inside, and another 25 minutes before I would order at the counter. In my personal opinion, I think this is where Delia's needs to have someone come in and do a review on how well they service their customers during a busy time. I realized they had pre-orders that they were trying to fill (note online pre-orders were stopped until 12/30), but IMHO I probably would have had the pre-orders for that day, all ready to go at the beginning of this day, versus what it appeared was them trying to fill pre-orders right then and there, and then any leftovers from the batches would be used to service the drive-thru or walk up customers. I knocked their rating down a star on Service, because like I said, they do great during the year but it's their busy times when it really matters on how well they do. There are a number of tamale places in San Antonio and all of them deal with the same busy periods. Delia's had been in San Antonio long enough now that I would hope by now they know how or would have tried several different preppping and serving options. All I know is that they needed to keep searching for one that works. November 2025 I've gotten tamales from this place before and never been disappointed. When I entered, to order and take a to-go order, I was greeted and my order was taken, 5 dozen pork tamales. I paid, and was advised it would be a 10 minute wait. We'll 10 minutes turned into 20 minutes, and then finally between 25-30 minutes my tamales were ready. Note, I reduced the Service stars from 5 to 4 because someone in the tamales business should have a good idea of their inventory and timing. I did notice the drive-thru business was steady. You may ask why didnI stay? Or why didn't I ask for my money back and then leave? Well, their tamales are pretty good, and their salsa is tasty too. The red salsa is flavorful and NOT spicy, and their green salsa is tasty too, but has a little kick (spiciness) to it. The dozen pork tamales ran $11.99. I would recommend you give the place a try, and if they don't have you type of tamales readily available, ask them for an accurate wait time.

One of my go to places for tamales. I had pre ordered my tamales (recommend). The tamales are delicious and gave a good meat to mass ratio. The beef tamales are my favorite. The price is a good price point.

Beware. Just received four dozen tamales from Delia's. They are not like what the pictures show. Mostly masa, not much filling, and very little flavor. They aren't horrible, but there are much better…

It has really good tamales personally my favorite is chicken and cheese but my only problem is the long wait

Yummy tamales. Got one dozen beef and one dozen pork. Both were delicious, but we preferred the beef. Good value, too. We plan to return to try other flavors.

This is a tough one to review. Did the tamales have really good flavor but was a little dry. But I also ordered chicken and in the last hour of the day so I won’t mark down for that. The flavor was really nice and I would definitely eat their tamales again. My issue is the person who took my order was Rude and definitely in a very bad mood. She would only respond to me in Spanish, which I couldn’t understand But she understood what I was saying in English so I don’t understand why she wouldn’t speak it so I could understand her Even when I said thank you at the end, she just shoved the bag at me and didn’t say anything Everyone else working seem to be in a lovely mood so maybe she was just having a bad day but he sure made it awkward I had heard about this place online. I drove an hour out of my way to come and visit it so the customer service was a big letdown. I think they have other locations so maybe I will try one of those earlier in the day

the tamales were good not great. I ordered a large menudo to go and came home with it. The menudo smell wierd with a light beige color. it tasted gaming not fresh for being Saturday. the menudo looked old from yesterday or last week. Don't get their menudo it's awful thumbs down. I hope I don't get sick. I threw it away very gross 😒.

The food is good. I go out of my way to get them. Tonight I asked for chicken and cheese with beef. Just to get home to find out I have bean and cheese and beef. Now my family is upset because they are closed and I wasted my money. I don't even have a receipt but I have what I posted. Guy at window was super rude. I ordered two orders and he put them both together which is why I didn't see the mix up in drive thru.

I went to the website to see if they were open today Christmas Eve. No where did it say they were only serving people that had pre-orders! I just wanted lunch. I drove almost 40 mins (from Schertz) g…

Went this morning to pick up a dozen for my wife and got nothing but attitude from. The girl at the drive thru. They won't get your card to swipe it but they'll put the credit card terminal in front of you. As im trying to attempt to swipe it the girl isn't even paying attention where the terminal is or try to hold it properly so I can swipe it. I asked her if there was a reason they don't grab the credit card and do it themselves. She didn't respond to me and gave me my order. I told her it's annoying when we're trying to swipe the card and their not paying attention since their holding the terminal. She then replied to me that's it's annoying to them too on the way i was being. If you don't like your job find one that doesn't deal with customer service because if your having a bad day the customers don't have to deal with your poor attitude! 3-7-26

They never answer their phone. You can't order online to pick up only to be shipped/mailed to you. You cant order tamales for pick up after a certain day and if you go in person the line is out the door. There needs to be a better easier way im this day and age. Even McDonald's has order online capability, as does Bill Millers, Taco Palenque, Las Palapas to name a few.

I arrived at 5 am the first Saturday of December to insure myself I would buy everything I wanted for our Christmas dinner. To my disappointment they didn't have bean and cheese tamales, bean and Jalapeño tamales. Chicken tamales were not available due to not being ready. SO DISAPPOINTING!!!! The bean and pork tamales were dry!!!! I told cashier I would wait for the chicken tamales and he tells me it's going to be 15 min. this was right at 7am and didn't have half the order I asked for. He some how came up with a dozen of chicken tamales. I started to check my order 4 pork dz tamales, 2bean dz 1 chicken. Second order 4 pork. And you won't believe the chicken tamales were not in the bag😡. I've been a devoted customer for years.. NO MORE!!!

The holiday rush, 1 week prior to Christmas, had an enormous line an hour before opening. Once they opened it was extremely inefficient. They were allowing the preorders first… totally understandable, but each patron including pre orders were taking 15 minutes to complete that individuals order. If the pre orders were pre paid and pre packaged the line would have moved much faster. Not enough employees to help. We waited 2 hours after opening, they had only allowed entry to 6 people in that time. We had to leave after being there for 3 hours! PS we tried to pre order on the phone for 2 weeks priior but they weren’t answering phones. You would think that going through this every year, they would have a better system

I was in the drive thru today 12/18/25 for 3 1/2 hours. I finally ordered my tamales 1 dozen spicy pork & 7 regular pork. Drove home which was a 25 minute drive home. I checked my tamale order & I was shorted my spicy pork. I have called over 5 times @ 7:00pm. It rings but then it hangs up on me. If management would get employees to stop laughing so much maybe they could get our orders correct.

This was my first time at Delia’s. I waited in line for over 30 minutes just for them to be sold out of almost every single tamale. They could’ve at least did the courtesy of letting people know that they didn’t have certain ones available anymore so that people wouldn’t wait in line. I ordered what was available because I didn’t want to have waited for nothing. I ordered a small salsa, but the associate explained to me that it came with salsa so I didn’t have to purchase one if I didn’t want to, and I said that the one that came with, it was fine. However, they then proceeded to forget to give me any salsa. It is partly my fault for not double checking, but I shouldn’t have to.

I order 2 different specialty tamales. First photos are Tamales undercooked, and another batched fully cooked. I gave it a second try after going back and forth with a manager. I will not be coming back even if the location is convenient

Delia’s has never disappointed until today. The tamales were great as always but the menudo was not good at all. The meat was super dark and not appetizing at all. We have been here many times and back home in the RGV countless times. Today just made me view Delia’s different. The RGV location have yet to disappoint us.
