Delia’s

BEST TAMALES IN THE VALLEY!!! Prices are very reasonalble. All they have is tamales and a small salad bar for eat in, except for weekends when they have menudo. Having said that they have a huge variety of differernt tamales. Drive thru windows makes it easy for quick carry out. Try it once and I guarantee you’ll come back.

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.

THE BEST TAMALES IN TOWN! and the best tamales I’ve ever had really. I always bring some back to Austin for all of my non-​Hispanic friends and they go absolutely crazy for these tamales! I’m glad I can bring a taste of home back with me to share with my buddies. CREAM CHEESE, BEEF, and CHICKEN AND CHEESE TAMALES FOR LIFE! But really, all of them are great! Those are just me and my buddies personal favorites :)

Best tamales and menudo in the USA!!! This location gets pretty Crazy on weekends and Christmas holidays. Be prepared!
Over all, Highly recommend! A++

This has been the go to place for tamales in my family for years now! The taste is great and authentic and they are decently filled! I make sure to have a meal from here whenever I am in the valley!

This Delia’s is situated in a very busy intersection in Mission. Upon entering and proceeding to the right, you are greeted with a myriad of choices for your meal. But — there is one thing: They are only tamales. But the most delicious tamales they are! Pork, chicken, Green Chile sauce with chicken, bean and cheese… The consumer is faced with the dilemma of which of the 15 to choose from.
They are sold in batches of half dozen or one dozen. Average price for half a dozen? About $ 4.29. You pay, the ladies will bring from the back warmers your neatly aluminum foil wrapped bundle of choice (or two) and then you pay. They have the usual beverages, plus horchata and jamaica, which is an added treat.
A small salad bar is complimentary, replete with ice-​cold and freshly cut lettuce and sliced tomatoes, wedges of limes, and salsa.
Dig in and sit in the plain-​style fast food style benches… Once you unwrap the piping hot foil from the tamales, you will see your 6 presents awaiting to be further unwrapped. They are on the thin side, but they pack such a perfect taste, almost melting in your mouth at first bite, that the size is scarcely worth mentioning. Most folks that I saw at this very very busy establishment also had 6, all the while having a great time socializing with their loved ones at hand.
And that’s what it comes down to. Sometimes you don’t need fancy décor, a wide range of menu, or bustling staff. The simple, homemade tamales (and remember. there are no other choices) from Delia’s speak more than words can put forth.

I love the tamales from Delia’s. always so fresh and they taste great.
