I used to order pick-up from Tamale Kitchen for my family and the guys at work and it was consistently good. Then, I retired and found delivery. Still great tamales and red sauce and a crispy chili rellenos. I ordered the combo lunch. I like this place too because they let me ask for the sauce on the side and I asked for beans, no rice and that's what I got! Ok, I was going to order 6 tamales but the price was a good bit more and I thought I'd just order two but they were twice as much. I don't know what that's about but next time I want to order tamales with sauce on the side, I'll pay it. Meanwhile, I'm very happy with my combo plate.

Nice little tamale kitchen that also serves yummy breakfast burritos. I'm partial to green chili and they did not disappoint! I ordered the egg, potato, and chorizo breakfast burrito smothered. Delicious! Service was friendly and really fast. Also, prices are very reasonable. If possible you should dine-in and enjoy the patio seating. They also provide metal utensils, which differs from the plastic offered by other establishments. Enjoy!

Great beans; rest of food is very good. Go early to get tamales. They sometimes run out on holidays and make a second batch. They're a high demand item. Usually a pick up and go; though there is some seating. 8/17/2025 update: had the beef burrito, stuffed full & fat. Sauce is phenomenal. As usual, fast service. Really good when you need something quick, easy, and satisfying.

Delicious for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Known for the tamales, I love their burritos. The green chili is amazing! Get your food smothered with green chili & cheese, you won't regret it.

Super quick to bring food out. Good handheld beef burrito... Steak taco was great with the salsa... And his smothered tamale. I poured the rest of the green chili into the burrito as there didn't seem to be much green chili in the burrito even though I ordered it with some

First visit and not bad for quick mexican. Obviously had to try the tamale which was the best part- pork in red sauce. Tried a side of chicken enchilda, rice beans and a beef burrito. Good overall comfort food. Prices not too bad for location.
