Buy 6 packs of frozen tamales and enjoy 50 cents off per pack. Frozen tamales can be heated in a steamer above your rice cooker.

Don't let the shopping center storefront fool you. This is a legit place with great, inexpensive food. Well worth finding it tucked away where it is.

Maggie MacG

Love the green corn tamales with jalapeño massa. Sooo good. And they ship to out-of-towners.

TRUE MEXICAN FOOD LOVERS WILL NOT LIKE THEIR MASA ON THE TAMALES. I WAS STARVED FOR TAMALES THE OTHER DAY AND GOT THEIR RED BEEF TAMALES. MASA NO GOOD AND RED BEEF-NO FLAVOR

Lynn Jackson

Best green corn tamales in Tucson - friendly staff !

Jeremy P

This place is great! If you like a little spice try the JoJo

DJ Jenkins

Seriously one of the best dives in Tucson. Hands down, the Tucson is the best tamale they have (for me)

Little Joe

This place puts so much heart, soul and flavor into their Tamales . Definitely a local business you should be supporting often.

If you don't like cheese , skip the vegetarian selection and go for the vegan tamales .

David Smith

The Wisconsin tamale is amazing

Bike parking is in the rear (10th St).

The singular for tamales is TAMAL--you're saying it wrong!!! Change your name and please stop perpetuating ignorance. Also, the tamales are expensive , greasy and just plain bad.

Gavin Howard

Best tamales I've had at a restaurant ; and they're all gluten free !

Scott Tinklenberg

For the most part our food was very good, but we got our order mixed and tamales we did not order, that one that we didn't order had a terrible taste, it seems like it was old frozen meat

Susan Roe

The Austin and New Deli are my favorite tamales !

Kelly Thames

This place is genius! The Santa Cruz tamales are insane!

Jeanny Kim

The Santa Fe tamale is amazing! Better than the spicier alternatives- that's saying a lot.

Dan Marty

You can't go wrong here, but I would second the Santa Fe tamale recommendation.

Steve Wright

If you like hot food, you can't go wrong with the Jojo!

Be careful if you place a Take Out order on Tanque Verde. Of the last 6 orders I have placed, 5 have been incorrect.I called to speak to owner Told he wasn't available and "would not be."Bad Business

Teresa Burger

Not big a pork , try the Sonran with Med salsa . Taste great and takeout was speedy.

Hissy Fit

A healthy, delicious, authentic taste of Tucson.
