Reviews Ruben's Homemade Tamales

Yum. Best tamales in San Antonio!

Good quality and not greasy. Not a huge tamale fan but when I have them, these are some of the best in town.

I highly recommend buying tamales here at Rubens. My family and I are very critical on tamales taste and these are so delicious. Best tasting tamales ever 😋 I can't eat enough.These tamales are the right texture.

Did not disappoint! We ordered Chicken, Pork, and Jalepeno Bean and Cheese. We couldn't wait to get home; we ate a few in the car before taking off. Great delicious tamales! Will recommend to everyone!

Christmas Eve 2020. Showed up at 6:45 out by 8:15am. Was not a good idea to beat the crowd and go early. The line was literally around the block...Not around the corner, but around the block!. There was no direct sun at 6:45. It was freezing. When I was driving away about 8:20 the line was around the corner. So it would have been better to show up at 8:20am when it's warmer and the line is shorter. They control the crowd by limiting how many people go inside the building. But once your in, your out in a few minutes. They have masks and following all safety precautions. The people behind the register seemed very friendly. I did this for my daughter. I would never do this crazy stuff for myself...lol. Update: Not sure if I was given old tamales. But when I got the first one out the Masa breaks.. I know that's a sign of dry tamales. And yep very, very dry, the meat is not strands. It is like polvorized. Almost looks fuzzy. The corn husks were pieced together and messy looking. I just don't see what the hype is about. Sorry but I'm honest in all my reviews. I won't change my star rating because it might be the Christmas rush and tired employees.
