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!!!
Love THE Tamale place. Some of the best tamales I've ever had. Great tacos too. I come to Indy 2-4x per year for racing events or trade shows and make it a point to stop here at least once every trip.
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.
The tamale selection is fantastic, and they are spectacular tasting. The downside is that they are $5 each with no discounts for large quantities. Lighting fast service. Super clean. Not a sit-down restaurant vibe but a descent atmosphere for an eat-it-and-go lunch spot.
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!!!
Love their tamales. My favorite is the chicken with green salsa Verde, beef in red sauce, sweet corn and cheese, and the steak tortas (which is huge and could be split between two people or saved for another meal). The service was fast and they had tons of options. It is recommended that you call ahead because they can and do run out of specific flavors.
Beautifully wrapped tamales that were like flavorful presents ???? from them for us to enjoy. From the beautiful wrapped presentation, to how amazing the corn ???? masa tasted, to how flavorful & spiced up to perfection the meat fillings was., It was one of the best tamales I have ever tried, including California or Mexico. The people in the big kitchen behind the counter, work really hard to produce an exceptional product for us to enjoy and be happy. I was watching them the whole time as I was ordering my food.????????????. The cashier was also really nice and professional.
Absolutely the best tamales I have ever had.
Get there early or they will sell out.
Pork tacos as well ????
