The Tamale Store: Reviews & Ratings
Wasn't sure what to expect but was blown away on the flavor. Big portions of food. I love that they are not shy with the cheese and sour cream. If I could I would rate a 10- star
Excellent tamales. Got the two tamales meal and the sides of refried beans and street corn were good as well. It also came with chips. Plenty of food
Wish I knew about this place when I was buying all those tiny mass produced Tamales at Costco... These are by far THE BEST award winning Tamales. (OK I'm not sure about the awards, but I'd award them for sure). Dozen huge, thick full filled Tamales fot $45. And don't foforget the pooch! Frozen Tamales for the doggies! Flavors range from green chilli Chicken or Pork, red or mole beef. Veggies only and corn and cream cheese..
I took my spouse here because she's never been. I crossed my fingers in hopes my recommendation didn't disappoint her or me. They blew the expectations out the water! The atmosphere is a nice and the layout is very inviting. The ordering process is simple and easy. The service was friendly and the food came out hot and fast. The little store they have inside is pretty cool, with gift options for out of towners who would like something local. The food itself is delicious. The tamales have a good amount of filling and the sauces are good! I loved the corn! I will definitely be back and highly recommend.
The best!!!! Please get the white salsa to dip your tamales in! The best food hack ever. I love all of them but my favorite is the pork green. The smell when you first walk in them foods tell you everything you need to know lol. The workers are always super helpful and decor is always so so cute'
TL;DR: This is, by far, the best tamales I've ever had in my whole life. The staff are friendly and always so kind with a fun atmosphere inside. I grew up in SoCal (see my other reviews) and nothing beats these tamales. Arizona has beat us at tamales for a fact. Melt in your mouth soft, flavourful, and so so so delicious. Their sides are so phenomenal (recommend the beans and the chorizo potatoes. I still dream of them weeks later.) The staff is friendly and made me feel so welcomed as I entered exhausted from the drive. The decor is so cute and I loved it all!
Best place for tamales in the valley, other than homemade And their tamales are HUGE. Reasonably priced for what you get, and they have a great selection of flavors. They have a freezer case to heat and serve later, and a large dining room to eat in. The staff were friendly, and there's decent parking.
What's not to like about this place!? Everything is so great. Fast service, yummy food, nice staff. The ambiance is lovely, they have lots of decorations. They have a store inside as well. They sell frozen tamales that taste just as good as the fresh ones. I always recommend this place to friends.
I LOVE tamales, and this place was on my list to go for a while now. It's like a 45min drive from my home, but I was within 10min of it today and had to go, nothing was gonna stop me! The place was super clean and welcoming with lots of salsas and other items for sale. The staff were great and very friendly. I went with a group and we all received our food rather quickly, which was great. I talked this place up to them so I was crossing my fingers it delivered on the expectations I set. Spoiler Alert: raving reviews from all those with me!! Yay! I got the "Double Style" - Green Chile Pork and Red Chile Pork tamales with Papas con Chorizo & Refried Pinto Beans! The tamales were unreal! Loved them both but the Green Chile was my fav. On a scale of 1 - 10, this is the best place for tamales in my book! I'd drive 45min for these any day of the week.
