Morenita Barbacoa — Restaurant in San Antonio

If you enjoy mouth watering, tender, flavorful barbacoa. Than this is a must try on your list of delicious traditional Mexican food dishes. They serve barbacoa and tamales. The barbacoa comes in 2 different varieties one is regular which is the more chunky aspect of barbacoa has more fat which adds that juicy flavor with each bite. And than they have all meat that would be your more recognizable chopped barbacoa still juicy not all dried out or anything. I would suggest getting a pound of each and decide for yourself I’m very confident in saying you can’t go wrong with either one. I would go even further to say let your taste buds be your guide. They also have tamales pork,chicken, beans & jalapeños, and cheese. And their hefty portions not one of those places where you think to yourself “where’s the meat at?” No not here. My favorite tamales so far have been the chicken with verde sauce, the beans and jalapeño and next I’m going to try the cheese. All in all this is a great place to eat and at least deserves a try. It is Cash Only so stop at your local...

Always like to try barbacoa,menudo and tamales from different places.. We'll..let me tell you this is the #1 to stop at .. BEST FREAKN BARBACOA AND TAMALES EVER.. Bought both types of barbacoa and tamales..The Best mix barbacoa best ever..don't get me wrong..all meat was very good.. I was spectacle about the tamales because they were a little pricey.. so I only ordered half a dozen of pork and chicken.. let me tell you .. I regret doing that.. these tamales have actually lots of meat in all of them and there huge .. that's a 1st.. Will be going back again and again.. WELL WORTH IT.. AND TO THE GUY THAT LET ME IT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT......

Tamales are so good! The meat doesn't look like it's been through a blender, and they are huge! They are the closest in flavor and size that I have had compared to my mom's. I had the cheese and chile, green chicken, and red pork tamales. All of them were delicious but cheese was my absolute favorite!!! Service was great but only downside is that it is a cash only establishment. We visited early in the morning 730 or so, so there was plenty of parking and not a lot of people. They are so good and as much as I want to keep this place to myself, I will do my good deed and spread the word. TRY THEM! YOU WILL NOT...
