Jimenez Barbacoa — Restaurant in San Antonio

I give this place a three stars because the food is perfect. Always hot and ready to go. I usually go every Saturday or at least twice during the week. We usually would get attended by a young girl named Esme. Very, very friendly and easy going. Always greets us when she sees us. 😊 Well, today I went in alone. I am in the middle of painting my laundry room and decided to take a barbacoa break. I drove down and placed my order. I always order two Barbacoa tacos. The girl wasn't friendly.

The guy behind me saw it and just raised his eyebrows. When the lady called us to the counter to order, I told her "there's a huge roach over there crawling around". She told one of the workers about it and he just went with a broom and dust pan to sweep it up like it was just random dust being...

One of my really good friends who is hispanic and has family in San Antonio suggested that we stop in and try out the tamales a few years ago.We picked up three dozen to go. Before we could get out of the parking lot and on the freeway back to Dallas, half a dozen had been consumed. They were warm, fresh and delicious. My brother is taking a trip down this weekend. I get to enjoy more of this wonderful fare on Sunday. Looking forward to it. Thanks for being a staple in...
