San Antonio Tamales — Restaurant in Converse

Horrible service. I placed a pre-order for four dozen tamales and gave a time when I’d be able to pick up. I was never asked to pay for them at the time of the order.

This is a Vietnam Veteran putting out good stuff and he deserves our support. Ask about any specials he might have when you call. I got a lunch special that included one dozen tamales, with 16 ounce portions of rice,...
