Maddy's Barbacoa

Maddy's Barbacoa
4.0 / 5 (136 reviews)

Description

A no-frills neighborhood taqueria with a loyal following and mixed outcomes: the barbacoa can be superbly juicy or overly greasy, the salsa is a highlight, while tamales are often small or underfilled. Tortillas and combo plates are offered, the space is generally clean with friendly staff, but inconsistent portions and occasional delivery/order problems and poor customer-service responses temper the experience. Best for casual barbacoa seekers who value flavor over polish and prefer dine-in or takeout rather than flawless delivery.

They have relocated from San Antonio to Von Ormy, but the food is just as delicious as ever. It's still worth the trip!

Ok...so this little hole in the wall is next to a pet grooming place. Barbacoa a 2. Tortillas a 2. Lacking flavor of authentic barbacoa to me. Tamales were silly and flavor off. They are skinnier than a winnie. You might like it if you try it...but we didn't. It's first and last visit here. If you sample this place, you'll know why this review.

It's unfortunate that there's no option to give this place zero stars. The menudo was watered down, likely because it was late in the morning and they were running low. The barbacoa had little flavor, the tamales seemed undercooked, and the cilantro was already wilted—just look at the pictures. We will definitely not be ordering from them again. Plus, the barbacoa was extremely greasy. I would recommend avoiding this place entirely.

I just enjoyed three Barbacoa tacos, and they were delicious! It had been a while since I had barbacoa, ever since another restaurant in Helotes closed down!
