I have to admit that when it comes to tamales in Texas, my hometown of San Antonio is the place to find the best. And Tellez Tamales has become a king among king tamalerias in a city where the competition is stiff. Places like Delicious and Ruben's have garnered my devotion for decades, but that has recently changed. Tellez has won me over with their back-to-basics approach to my much-loved tamal. The tamales are slender (as they should be) and they are packed with meat and filling. Plus, their flavor is perfectly blanced with spices. They are not the flavorless, maza packed monstrosities that are sold by lesser places in the north side of town. Their salsa is not bad either (but they do charge for it vs. the traditional inclusion).
With that said, I will point out that Tellez should stick to making tamales. They also offer other food (cafeteria-style) at their tamaleria, but I would avoid it. I wish I had. Their cheese enchiladas are an embarrassment to the city that birthed them and better tacos can be found at any one of 100 other taquerias within a 2 mile radius.
Tellez makes good tamales, period. Get them, get dozens, then get out fast.
