Was recommended to us by a co-worker.
WOW Hands down Awesome Tamales 🫔 and the chicken tacos were Fire 🔥!! The huge bag of chips and white cheese was great!! Hands down 10/10!! The food came out faster than fast food!! I loved the Hot N Spicy pork 🫔 10/10.
The spicy Chipotle Beef 🫔 was on point 9.5!! Pork in Roasted Red sauce (In banana leaf)was 🔥 great savory flavor 9.9/10!!!

My wife and I saw Guy Fieri review this "Tamale Place" location on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and knew we had to try them out!! The first time was my wife's birthday, and I asked her to get in the car, we're going to lunch for your birthday!! We live in the Chicago area, so it was a 280 mile round trip, to Indianapolis, but it was definitely worth the drive!!! We've been back a few times since then!!! The food is excellent.
It's the best tamales that we've ever had!!!

The food was good.
It’s tasted very authentic.
I tried the torta sandwich which was very good for it being my first time having it.
It was a bit messy to eat for a sandwich but was good to eat.
The tamales were good but not the best I ever had.
In my opinion they need a little more sauce.
The service was great and it is someplace I would return in the far future.
