$$ Mexican restaurant
About
Located on NE Dekum Street, Tamale Boy Dekum is a vibrant Mexican eatery that keeps diners coming back for its cozy ambiance and quick service. Specializing in delicious brunch options, including standout chilaquiles and hearty breakfast dishes, this place is perfect for solo meals or family outings. Guests appreciate the great cocktails and a welcoming, pet-friendly outdoor area equipped with heaters for chilly days. Although some tamale reviews mention a lack of seasoning, the overall experience—complete with craft beverages and exceptional brunch—is worth the visit.
I recently tried the chilaquiles and they did not disappoint - the salsa was fantastic! The outdoor seating is perfect for sunny days, and I appreciated the heaters during my evening visit. While the tamales were a bit hit-or-miss, the Frito with beans and eggs was a delightful surprise.
I also loved that it’s family-friendly and I could bring my dog! Just a heads-up, you do have to bus your own table. Overall, a great spot for a casual meal - can’t wait to come back for brunch! ☀️
