Ordering tamales for families's Galveston trip was easy enough. BUT they gave me the wrong order. Delia's need to bring pork with green sauce and others back. Especially since they are charging more. Also, only a tiny bit of cream cheese. :( read more

I placed an order for pickup and they screwed up the order. i called and spoke to Perla. She was extremely rude and hung up on me. Didn't give a chance to explain the screwed up order, before she hung up on me. Customer service is BAD and Perla is such a rude person. read more

We ordered inside. It was our first time there, and the cashier was very helpful in answering all of our questions. Service was quick and efficient, friendly. They also have a drive thru for people who prefer to keep there distance or are in a hurry. You order the tamales by the half dozen or full dozen (except the veracruzano, which is full size and ordered one at a time). They are small, so I'd say am average person would probably eat 3-4 tamales. We were ordering for 5 adults and got like 30 tamales (had two guys with larger appetites) and only had a few tamales leftover. We had a few different flavors. The bean and cheese was pretty basic, but good. The chicken and cheese in green sauce was my favorite...more flavor, a bit of tang. The spicy chicken was way too spicy for me, personally, but my brother liked it. We also had ordered the veracruzano to try a few bites...really good! I kind of wish we had ordered more of that one. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we would definitely go back! Highly recommend for a quick, tasty, authentic meal. read more

I am always looking for amazing tamales and these definitely fit the bill. I went to the one on 10th. I'm from out of town and the tamales were wonderful. read more

Just moved here from California and we Love the tamales, chicken and cheese, bean and cheese, pork, spicy chicken is kinda hot lol but honestly great tamales price is good, tried the menudo and it was kind of tough but the flavors were great. Only reason I don't give them 5 stars was because the first time some girls working there were more concerned about my husbands looks than taking our order, my husband was very upset when they charged us $198.00 because they couldn't get our order right. I spoke to the manager and he kind of was like whatever but when I told him I wanted my money back his tune changed. He was kind of a D*ck. He returned the money because we told him we still wanted our tamales and my husband is a big dude lol other than that loved the food. read more

Delia's - Menudo all gone lol - Mexican Near Me - McAllen, Texas

This used to be a favorite spot when I would come home for the holidays to get enough tamales to last the rest of the winter.I grew up in the RGV and now that I live half way across the country you can believe I appreciate food from home. Unfortunately there are things more important than traditions, and that's people. There have been many reports of how the workers are treated specifically Mexican nationals. I couldn't in good conscience ever eat at this establishment again. I urge Delia's to change their treatment of their workers for no amount of money is worth losing your humanity. read more

Tamales are excellent. I live in El Paso and when I travel into McAllen I try and make it a point to stop by and pick up some tamales, especially during the holidays. read more

Best tamales anywhere. We like pork and cream cheese jalapeño. Especially good when hot from the restaurant. Reasonably priced.

Best tamales in the valley without a rival. Love their spicy pork and bean and cheese!

I love a good tamale- which this now is a new level of love ! This is one of the best, if not the best tamales I've ever had. Guess what? They ship as well!! Next time you're in McAllen - stop in! read more

Best tamales and menudos pretty good. Chicken and cheese and pork are the bomb. Salsa is great as well. Expensive as fuck if u wanna ship it'll cost u a new nut read more

I haven't had a chance to taste all the different flavors but the two I did have were soo good. (Pork and chicken cheese) The tamales are prepared in advanced and stored in their steamer so you don't have to wait long for your order which is awesome if you're in a hurry. They'll give you silverware and sauces so you can start to dig in as soon as you get into your car. I bought a dozen when I should I have bought two dozens because I ate most of it on the way to the airport. They're even good at room temperature which means a lot because tamales are usually too stiff and dry once they're cool. Do yourself a favor a get yourself a dozen or two asap. There's a reason why there are so many Delia locations. This stuff is delicious. read more

Delia's - Chicken tamales ... sooo good ! - Mexican Near Me - McAllen, Texas

The sweet tamales are the best! The corn tamales tasted weird as if they cooked it with dirty water. read more

Best tamales you can ever get. The chicken snd cheese are my favorite, but you can't go wrong with the pork ones either. They have a drive up window. I bring these back everyone I go visit the area. My family loves them. Great taste, perfect amount of masa to meat. Great place!! read more

If you're new to the RGV or to tamales then you need to check this place out! When I was younger I hated tamales. What a fool I was because tamales are delicious, especially when they're from Delia's!!! So much flavor, from the masa to the meat filling! My favorites are pork, cheese and jalapeño, and chicken. Each order comes with red and green salsa to provide extra awesomeness and flavor. I live in Austin now and I can't find any tamaleria that's at their level :-( so when I visit home, I always make sure to get my Delia's fix :-) Check this place out! read more

Delia's - Delia's Tamales for Xmas! Yummmm - Mexican Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Delia's tamales are great. If you are in the RGV, I highly recommend you visit Delia's Tamales. They have many varieties to choose from. Beware during the holidays, there will be a wait. read more

So fast and consistently delicious. Hardest part is deciding what to get. Pretty inexpensive. Good sauces too.

Good: the food is good they have a tiny salad bar to put lettuce and tomatoes, green guac salsa is pretty good.! Bad: So-so: the lines, the waiting time. Not to spacious for big parties. The locations are most in south border texas read more

Just do it, no regrets. Best tamales I've ever had, ever. Staff is friendly and all smiles.

Best in class service and Best Tamales with great assortment to choose from. Tried the Jalapeño and Cheese -Delicious!

Delia's has amazing tamales. We just purchased a dozen bean and cheese and wished we had bought two dozen. Plan on ordering online and have them shipped to us. What a deal!!!! read more

Delia's - Delia's Tamales Amazing tamales! - Mexican Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Excellent Tamales. Go there every time we are in the valley. Fresh and hot. Buy them frozen to bring back to Austin for family too. Must visit when in Edinburgh!! read more

These tamales are my weakness! I usually get the chicken and cheese tamales which taste great with the hot sauces they have. I usually get an order to go which is something different from the usual lunch. I have also taken a few dozens for all my employees and they sure can go a far way. When i was younger this was the place to go for breakfast during the weekends and specially on the Sundays! I used to prefer eating here because they had an open salad bar with all the good stuff. They have continued this tradition and its the great thing about locally owned businesses. I totally recommend this spot to everyone because those tamales are just amazing! read more

Best tamales I've ever had! I ordered veracruzana which is wrapped in banana leaves and chicken and cheese. My friend ordered spicy chicken. I will just get the chicken and cheese next time. You order by the 11/2 dozen. read more

Food is good. Nothing spectacular. But I can take the constant problems with this place. They make you order in advance for Christmas...I get it but when their employees screw up on the order they're unwilling to help their customer. Sad thing is put up with this every year and I don't know why. This will be he last year I let them ruin my day. They're not worth it and to be honest they don't really care. read more

Cheap, no frills, and a wide variety of tamales. I ordered a half dozen (the smallest possible order size, which was still too much!) spicy pork tamales and a large drink and spent under $5. The tamales were delicious and spicy. I also had the slightly less spicy, but still wonderful, chicken and cheese tamales on another occasion. One thing I love about this place is the simplicity; it's just tamales. There's a small salsa bar and some drinks, but that's it. Their focus on tamales pays off because they are really superb. Perfect filling-to-masa ratio. The restaurant space is also very clean and sunny, employees are friendly (they need a tip jar!). They offer hot and frozen tamales and there is even a drive thru. Great little tamale place. read more

Delia's - Half dozen spicy pork tamales - Mexican Near Me - McAllen, Texas

I love love Delia's tamales but was super disappointed of quality of tamale which I am accustomed to that Delia's is known for. Tried this location n. 10th for first time. Service super friendly & fast. Though once I got home & anxiously opened my chicken & cheese tamales disappointed. Super greasy, way too moist had no taste pretty bland & some tamales were cold? While others warm not hot just warm. Needless to say I threw my 2 dozen of tamales away. Maybe just a bad batch . Will eventually go back to give this location another chance till then I will probably play it safe & go to the Jackson location . read more

Let me put it this way: I walked four miles there and four miles back to sample Delia's tamales, and they were well worth the trip. My only regret is that I didn't bring a half-dozen friends with me so that we could explore their huge tamale menu. Delia's only sells by the dozen or the half-dozen. I chose the spicy chicken and cheese tamales from the specialty menu. The tamales are petite, about twice the circumference of a cigar. Mine were stuffed with shredded chicken and curds of mild cheese. The masa had a creamy texture like super-smooth polenta, and a rich corn flavor. The tamales were decadently oily without being greasy. Three tamales made for an indulgent breakfast. read more

Love there tamales and service always gives the right hit point of satisfied with a full tummy

The chicken and cheese tamales are their top seller for good reason. You can enjoy the chicken flavor and not run into any ligaments. FYI: they are a little greasy but that is how tamales normally are. If you order a half dozen you find the bottom ones are a little more saturated with grease. Their food consistency is good but sometimes you will get one that is not fully cooked and squishy! Enjoy! read more

Delia's - Mexican Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Best tamales in all of Texas!!!! My brother and sister pick them up every time they are in town. Frozen or fresh they are fantastic.

Best tamales anywhere, and I mean anywhere (well outside of your abuelita's kitchen!). I was in McAllen visting relatives, and Delia's was first on my list of places to eat. The tamales are uniformly delicious. The masa is just perfect, the fillings are cooked to perfection, and the price is right--unlike my home state of WA, where tamal purveryors charge upward of $18 a dozen for far inferior tamales, such bull----! People in the RGV are lucky to have Delia's. Service can be lackluster, but with tamales this good, I can ignore it. Come here and be sent to tamal heaven. read more

I've never been here before, but my Mom grew up in McAllen and returned to California with some tamales from Delia's after a recent trip to Texas. They taste much better than any I've had here, and don't have a thick layer of masa. Wish there was a Delia's out this way. read more

This place has over 15 different type of tamales. Great place if you are only looking to eat tamales. Flavor include sweet and corn tamales. Currently showing 6 locations in the Valley. This franchise has the potential to explode in Texas. read more

New to eating tamales and they set the bar high! We got the chicken, spicy chicken, beef and bean. All was full of flavor. Will definitely eat here again. read more

Yes, yes, and yes. The tamales are amazing and it's such a cheap and easy meal. We like to stop in for a quick and small bite often with the family. Our favorites are the bean and cheese and pork tamales. I like filling up a plate with salad- lettuce and tomatoes and the husband enjoys all the sauces. For $12-15 a family of five are filled up and ready to go out and enjoy the rest of the day. read more

Delia's - ~$20 to feed 7 people. - Mexican Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Delia's has the best tamales I have ever tasted. Half a dozen is good for a couple of meals, and their fresh salsas and salad really make them sing. I don't live in McAllen, so I brought 3 dozen home with me (frozen) and everyone I shared them with loved them! I also bought a small salsa, but next time I'm going with a large. The salsa did not last long in our house. Also, don't be afraid to try the sweet cheese tamales, they're amazing. read more

Hands down the best tamales ive had since my grandma used to make them for me as s kid. The staff is fast and courteous, but if you need a large order or some during the hillary than be due to order in advance. read more

Love these tamales!!! All of them!!! And they are gluten free!! Perfect since my wifey has food allergies. All my coworkers always want some when we head back to San Antonio. Matter fact, my wife's uncle is taking 12 dozens back to Midland. Highly recommended them to everyone!! read more

I finally made it out here from Brownsville recently and it was very good. Took a to go order to enjoy the following morning for breakfast. I ordered inside and the place was very clean.
