Delia's Tamales, Mexican restaurant in San Antonio, United States
Delia's Tamales is a Mexican restaurant in San Antonio that prepares around 18 varieties of tamales, including pork, chicken, beef, beans, and specialty combinations with cheese and spices. The establishment serves these handmade specialties at its location.
The restaurant was founded about three decades ago by Delia and her sister, who initially sold handmade tamales door-to-door. Their early success led to expansion across multiple Texas locations.

The restaurant is located in San Antonio and operates during daytime hours on most weekdays, with more limited hours on weekends. In addition to dining in, it offers shipping options for orders.
The Veracruzano tamales are steamed in banana leaves instead of corn husks, offering visitors flavors from a specific Mexican region. This regional variation stands apart in taste from the other varieties offered.
