★★★★★ 5.0 Jose De La Garza · Jan 2026

The best tamales in the RGV! The service is fast and reliable. To go, or to eat there, and they do have other dishes besides tamales, the menudo is really good as well!!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Alberto Aguilar · Apr 2025

Over time, the food quality at this place has really gone downhill. The tamales are undercooked and no longer made the right way. The only positive thing I can say is that the green chili is still good

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Martin Salas · Feb 2026

I went in with my family , to get tamales and dine in , i ordered regular tamales for my family , and a tamal veracruzano for me , at the moment when i open my tamal it had a funky smell, but still tasted the tamal but after the first bite jt tasted funny , i told the lady and she came back with another tamal and said to tasted before putting salsa i told her that it was the tamal , she made a face and with bad attitude said sir we havent had any issues, im like just give me something else and she did , but she always had and attitude like if i was lying or being extra but honestly that tamal was going bad

Delia's sells good tamales and all are drive thru, but this store. Good and friendly employees as well. Very fine vittles.

★★★★★ 5.0 Brian Henriksen · May 2018

The Best Tamales in South Texas!! The only place to get tamales when visiting the valley. Soo delicious that people from out of town bring their own stash home with them to enjoy.
