" Martinez has become my family's Sunday tradition. We love their brunches with delicious barbacoa and mouthwatering tamales. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to gather and enjoy each other's company. If you haven't tried their homemade salsas, you're missing out! Absolutely worth the trip every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here over the weekend and tried their barbacoa tacos. They were delicious, though a bit on the greasy side. The service was good; the staff was cheerful and helpful. The only downside was the ambiance, as it felt a little cramped during rush hour. Still, I plan to come back for their tamales which I hear are fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic barbacoa, look no further than Martinez! The flavors here take me right back to my grandma's kitchen. The staff are always welcoming, and I've never left hungry. Their portions are generous, and every bite is packed with flavor. It's a must-visit if you're in San Antonio! " (*Curated Review*)

" Martinez is my go-to spot for barbacoa! The all-meat option is highly recommended, and they give you enough food for a meal and then some. Their salsa is incredibly tasty too. I appreciate the staff's friendliness; they always remember my order! If you're in the area, make sure to stop in! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had some very high expectations, especially with all the positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience did not meet those expectations. The barbacoa had a lot of fat, which made it unappetizing for my taste. The tamales were average at best. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and the spot was clean. However, I probably won't be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is legendary! I’ve been coming here for years and their barbacoa never fails to impress me. Each time, I get a pound, and it’s perfect every single time. It's just a little greasy, but that's how barbacoa should be sometimes! Staff is always friendly, and I love the vibe here—definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic barbacoa, big portions, and great service! This place has become my favorite for weekend brunch with family. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy some delicious food. I can’t recommend it highly enough—definitely on my list for repeat visits! " (*Curated Review*)
