We hope you enjoyed this fun foodie trip through the awesome tamale stops of San Antonio. To see more about our experience including a map of all of the locations we visited in this video, visit rvtexasyall.com/foodie-travel/san-antonio-tamale-trot ! We'd love to hear about your favorite tamale places. Please share in the comments! See y'all Wednesday 😁
I enjoyed the information but you didn't mention the price of a dozen tamales. Pork Beef Spicey of both. I'm making a special trip home to San Antonio to get the BEST tamales in the world! The reason I'm coming to S.A. is TAMALES. Right now I live in Misery/Missouri. People here go crazy for Mexican Food but there's no place like home San Antonio,TEXAS.
When I worked at Southwest Oilfield Products (off of Wallisville Road near the Houston Ship Channel) we had a "tamale lady" come by close to lunch time, and her tamales were fantastic!! Nothing better in this world than TEX-MEX food!!
Looks like I will be making a trip deeper into San Antonio. Great video and great info about the eats in San Antonio. Enjoy your videos I will be doing more rving soon. Thanks
Hey Roosevelt! Thanks so much. We'll have more videos coming soon from our visit to San Antonio, but there is still so much we didn't have time to take in. We look forward to going back and exploring even more. Hope to see you out there somewhere.
We really enjoyed visiting with you this week. We’ve decided that we now have the perfect excuse to go to San Antonio! Thanks for that. Cheers, Gary & Kris
Glad you enjoyed a little taste of San antonio! Whoever gave you your info for spots to hit were spot on. The Delias line never dips under a 30 minute wait and they sometimes close the roads when it really gets busy so I am glad you got to actually order. Safe Travels!!
Thanks! We enjoyed everyone one of the stops! There are a few others we didn't get to, like Tellez. That will be for a future trip! Glad the line wasn't too bad when we were there.
Thanks for letting us ride along on the tamale hunt! Living in San Antonio, I've had tamales from 3 of the 5 places you went and they're all great, now I need to try the remaining 2 places! Loved the video!!
Delia's cream cheese and jalapeno is the BEST! Delia delivered tamales out of her car trunk to my parents in the 1970s in McAllen TX. We loved and supported her for our lives in the RGV and love they have a San Antonio location.
Tamales originated in Mesoamerica as early as 8000 to 5000 BC. The preparation of tamales is likely to have spread from the indigenous culture in Mexico and Guatemala to the rest of Latin America. The Aztecs and Olmecs used tamales as portable food, for hunting trips, and for traveling large distances, as well as supporting their armies.
Hands down Ruben's Tamales are the best in San Antonio, TX. They are made daily, piping hot fresh, and favorable. Victoria's was another great location that y'all visited. They also make good tamales. On your next visit I would suggest trying out the best friut cup stands. They have been poping up all over the place here in SATX. Great review!!!!
It’s not Texas but have you been on the Boudin Trail? My BIL suggested that idea so we loaded up the motorhome and headed East to Louisiana. We hit up about 6 different places and parked the Motorhome in the La Berge (sp) Casino and ‘donated’ (gambled) some money to them. They didn’t mind that we parked at the far end of the parking lot and did a little boondocking.
Great video! Met my wife in San Antonio and brought her back to VT with me. But that was 33 years ago! We’ll have to check them out next time we are down there. Thanks again! Doug PS oh, now I have Mexican music in my head! Very fun.
We are Winter Texans in the RGV this year - and Delia's is right down the street! Tried their Spicy Pork in Green Sauce and Chicken tamales on your recommendation tonight. Absolutely amazing! BONUS: At 3 PM their drive thru was empty! Thanks for the taste of Mexico in Texas.
We enjoyed your video so much that we are going to embark on a Tamale Tour. We are staying in Castorville for the month of December, what location should we start with?
Hey y'all! Sorry we didn't get back with you sooner. If you haven't done your tamale tour yet, we have a map of the locations we visited on our website: rvtexasyall.com/foodie-travel/san-antonio-tamale-trot
@@rvamericayall we started the tour at Delious Tamales and they were great. Unfortunately that was the only location we visited, another commitment took up our time. Have a great 2021.
Great job y’all! This is so timely for us as we are planning a trip through Texas early 2021 and San Antonio will certainly be one of our stops. My whole family is from Texas so they probably know most of these places too. I am making a note to definitely get Delia's tamales and probably hit up a couple of the others if the wife will let me LOL. Now that I think of it this category of RV video is desperately needed, so any other Texas eatery recommendations will be very popular I’m sure! Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback, Larry. We're glad you enjoyed it. We had a great time trying all of these places and will certainly be back to try even more in the future.
Good Afternoon Y'all! This is a video I can sink my teeth into 😋! Delias is Edinburg is 🙌🏼! In SA we love Rubens & Tellez tamales, but like you said we love the "tamale lady" that stops by our office too!
Fun video! Delicious Tamales is down the road from the university where I teach, OLLU. I'll have to try out Dalia's. I've made tamales once, and it's a lot of work! The masa to meat ratio is key! OH...and the fried pork skins, omg they're so good when they're fresh!
Awesome Jackie! We had a great time trying them all out. We have a list of more to visit on our next trip to San Antonio. So many great options! We have the addresses and a location map on our website and we'll add to it as we find more good spots: rvtexasyall.com/foodie-travel/san-antonio-tamale-trot
It's a fun way to explore San Antonio! We've included a map of the locations in our post: rvtexasyall.com/foodie-travel/san-antonio-tamale-trot . Have fun!
nice tribute - we are indeed blessed here in San Anto, and I also love tamales. didn't make it all the way thru, but just a little nitpick. "tamales" is correct, but the singular in proper Spanish is "tamal" - the word "tamale" is an English "back-formation" (since English plurals are mostly formed by just adding "s" to a singular... "Tamale" has been gradually accepted into American Spanish but would not be as well received in interior México or other Spanish speaking countries.
Love the do rag look! I was thinking to myself, "get that hair under control and out of your face" and the very next scene, you had a do rag on or a "buff" it says. Love your videos, briefly thought of booking at Jamaica Beach so I might run into you but have other places I want to go. One of these days I'll run into you guys!
True story: We had a new engineer at the chemical plant. He was from up north somewhere and never had much Mexican food. We brought some for lunch so he could try one a few. He picked one up and never took the corn husk off!! We laughed big time but I kinda felt bad for not thinking he wouldn’t know to take the husk off! He did like them though. Growing up in the Houston area we all just knew how to eat them!
Great question! We enjoyed everything we ate. We include the rankings based on our visits in this post: rvtexasyall.com/foodie-travel/san-antonio-tamale-trot
Yummy! dang, guys you're making me hungry lol. Btw, what's up with the bandana around your head Tom? It makes you look like a cool dude with a loose mood with a need for speed with a maximum attraction lol.
@@rvamericayall lol...yeah, I kinda figured that Tom I just wanted to give you a hard time again. Tell Staci she needs to do something crazy like that too so I can give her a hard time also, not just you,,,lol
I would think you would have to work such a challenge about once a week ., just to ensure you really know the deep details! I would need to test this extensively
For shits and giggles, I placed an order at Bienvenitas for 3 dozen tamales. They want $15 for materials and handling. $76 for shipping to central Pa for a total of $119. I dropped that order like a hot tamale Stacy was holding. : )
We LOVE your channel and watch it every week. We're wondering if y'all have any plans to begin using "RUMBLE" as a platform? We would simply LOVE seeing y'all there! No, I'm not a spy for Rumble, we simply feel that it's a better platform and they have no RV travel videos.... yet :-)
Love my tamales wet and not over cook. That second set was so small. We call those taquito tamales. Tamales in California are a lot bigger. Looks good.
It was interesting to see all of the different sizes, colors and textures when we ate so many back-to-back. Each one was different. All had really good flavor.
hate for them to have included rubens in their video, its hard enough to get there before they run out now. a few years ago you could order the tamales on the different holidays ahead of time then some would be left out. now its first come until they run out, so don't go buy their tamales, they got enough business already, go to delicious or one of the tourist traps these guy visit and brag on, stay away from rubens, i don't want to be left out this thanksgiving or christmas.

We loved being with you on your tamale trot! Please do more videos like this, it was very enjoyable!
Thanks Buck!

So many great options to choose from!

We loved both of those. Thanks for the suggestion on the fruit cup stands! Do you have recommendations on any to start with?
This was so fun to watch......we used to winter in San Antonio at the Blazing Star RV park .
We had a ton of fun visiting all of the shops, JoAnn! San Antonio would be a great place to spend the winter.

Adelitas on Fresno and ih10 have good tamales too
We agree Priscilla! 😋
Good Afternoon Y'all! This is a video I can sink my teeth into 😋! Delias is Edinburg is 🙌🏼! In SA we love Rubens & Tellez tamales, but like you said we love the "tamale lady" that stops by our office too!
So many great options around there, Ben! We plan to get to Tellez next time,.
Love Ruben’s Tamales!!! Next time in SA try Tellez Tamales & Barbacoa....Fantastic tamales!
Thanks Rebecca! Tellez is definitely on our list to try next time.
As a native San Antonian...Yes Delia’s is at the top of the list but also check out Tellez.
Thanks Candy! Tellez is definitely on our list for next time. They were closed when we tried to go this time.
We’ve never been to San Antonio. Thanks for sharing the Tamale adventure 🤗
Put San Antonio on your list of places to visit. Tons to see and do there.
@@rvamericayall We’ll have to do that for sure!
Fun video! Delicious Tamales is down the road from the university where I teach, OLLU. I'll have to try out Dalia's. I've made tamales once, and it's a lot of work! The masa to meat ratio is key! OH...and the fried pork skins, omg they're so good when they're fresh!
Hey Jennifer! You're lucky to work so close to such good food. 😋
I saved this video for when we visit there! Thanks!
Awesome Jackie! We had a great time trying them all out. We have a list of more to visit on our next trip to San Antonio. So many great options! We have the addresses and a location map on our website and we'll add to it as we find more good spots: rvtexasyall.com/foodie-travel/san-antonio-tamale-trot
Oh YEAH! A food video!!! Lived it!
We ate good in San Antonio! 😁😋
We LOVE tamales! The spicier the better. 🌶️ Can't wait to check out your recommendations when we get back to San Antonio...soon!
It's a fun way to explore San Antonio! We've included a map of the locations in our post: rvtexasyall.com/foodie-travel/san-antonio-tamale-trot . Have fun!

Yes, more of this sorta thing! I enjoy Texas reviews.
Awesome Scott! Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks! 😁 It's so much easier in the wind. LOL We look forward to crossing paths one of these days.
That was interesting and fun! I'm going to have to go try some tamales now... I've never tried them before! ;-)
We love them Laura! Make sure you unwrap them from the corn husks before you eat them.
Great video now the question is y’all ready for some more tamales?
LOL Thanks... actually, we had some more tamales today. 😂
I am starving.cuz I got extraccion.thuth.rrrrrrr.I know those.places.and Many more from Grest Moms.thanks video is awesome.
We're from the RGV, love Delia's Tamales!!
They are great, thanks for watching!
Being from Canada I didn't grow up eating tamales, but I sure am craving them now!
We love them, Betty!
May sure you take the husk off.I heard of a person that was trying to eat a tamale without taking the husk off till someone her to take the husk off
True story: We had a new engineer at the chemical plant. He was from up north somewhere and never had much Mexican food. We brought some for lunch so he could try one a few. He picked one up and never took the corn husk off!! We laughed big time but I kinda felt bad for not thinking he wouldn’t know to take the husk off! He did like them though. Growing up in the Houston area we all just knew how to eat them!
I didn't know that either until I saw Tom & Stacie remove the husks.
That’s a great point Karen! When you grow up eating them, you don’t realize other folks don’t know about the husks.
Yep, definitely remove the husks Betty.
That was fun! Thanks!
Glad y’all enjoyed it. We had a blast!
im a hood nigga but yall made me smile in dis video i movin to texas in a couple days thank yall for this video
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a safe trip to Texas.
Laboriosos pero muy Deliciosos los tamales ....,Mis hijos se ponen muy felices cuando hago sus tamales preferidos !!!!!!
Thanks
People love rankings. How would you rank these places?
Great question! We enjoyed everything we ate. We include the rankings based on our visits in this post: rvtexasyall.com/foodie-travel/san-antonio-tamale-trot

WhAt's name of last one?
You will have to watch it to find out! 😊
Yummy! dang, guys you're making me hungry lol. Btw, what's up with the bandana around your head Tom? It makes you look like a cool dude with a loose mood with a need for speed with a maximum attraction lol.
LOL! My hair was out of control in the wind Ty! 😂 - Tom
@@rvamericayall lol...yeah, I kinda figured that Tom I just wanted to give you a hard time again. Tell Staci she needs to do something crazy like that too so I can give her a hard time also, not just you,,,lol
At Reubens it seems the saying is true. "That's one hot tamale". Jayman...
LOL! So true!
I would think you would have to work such a challenge about once a week ., just to ensure you really know the deep details! I would need to test this extensively
LOL! Definitely Darisan! 😂
Sup to now Ruben’s has been our favorite but we will be trying Delia’s now. Can you imagine how long the line will be around Christmas?
That will be a crazy line, Don! We really liked Ruben's too.
You had me at barbacoa.
Yum! 😁
Y’all are kill me with the Tamales I used to live in San Antonio man I miss Texas 👍
Hope you can get back down this way before too long George.
I used to live there too and really really miss it and how nice people are in Texas y’all
👍🙏🇺🇸🤪
For shits and giggles, I placed an order at Bienvenitas for 3 dozen tamales. They want $15 for materials and handling. $76 for shipping to central Pa for a total of $119. I dropped that order like a hot tamale Stacy was holding. : )
Yikes! That would be some expensive tamales! 😱
Y'all done made me haungry!!😅
Us too Anthony! So, we're eating more tamales as we respond to comments! LOL
We LOVE your channel and watch it every week. We're wondering if y'all have any plans to begin using "RUMBLE" as a platform? We would simply LOVE seeing y'all there! No, I'm not a spy for Rumble, we simply feel that it's a better platform and they have no RV travel videos.... yet :-)
Thanks so much Susan! We haven’t heard of it. We’ll check it out.
Tamales, yum. Coke, throw that out. Wife says she'll have to look up these places.
They are definitely worth checking out Gary.
I hope all the tamales places you tried gave you a discount for advertising for them.
Delia's tamales
Good stuff!
It is not Rio Grand Valley, it is Rio Grande Valley ( Grande is a Spanish name,so it is not pronounced , Grand )
:D 2:42

Is it just me or does Tom’s waist line get bigger as the video goes along. 🤣. Hope y’all doing well
LOL! Ain't that the truth Dennis!
Goes to Reubens, get chicken tamales. SMH
Hope you didn’t eat all those in one day? Thanks for sharing.
LOL! Not quite Jean. But we ate a lot over 3 days.
You shouldn't eat in front of people. 😉 I'm hungry.
Lol! Sorry about that! 😋

Lol! Sorry about letting out the secret, Jimmie!
My wife loves Tamales. I never could get past eating the corn husk. 🤮. To chewy doesn’t taste good. 🤠
😂
Haha!
