Tamales Moreno

This week was my first time getting tamales here after several recommendations! Both red and green were delicious, moist and generous on the meat! Picked up a dozen of each hot and ready! Took them to share at an event and everyone loved them! Service from the staff at Tamales Moreno was friendly also! I will definitely go back!

Very little meat in the tamales.I was surprised that they would actually serve these rolls of masa.

We came here on a whim after discussing what to have for Christmas dinner. Red and green chili over tamales is the tastiest way to celebrate Christmas. It was well received for our small gathering. There is forever a line here, no matter the time of day that you go. They will get you in and out and on your way in no time. That alone speaks volumes as there are several other tamale places around it with no line. If you have a large order, be nice and call ahead,

Do not waste your money on this place. Their ad says tamales are homemade, fine. However, I paid $31 for 1/2 dozen green chili tamales. Most of it was corn meal masa. Hardly any chili and pork. Pork usually doesn't come with the green chili. Usually it's green chili and cheese. Not worth their greed. You've been warned.

Well when I find great food at places that maybe don't look so perfect inside or out, I have learned to ignore that and just enjoy the food. When in Rome...This and Chili Shack on Colfax are two examples, killer food that's really original and delicious, but it's perhaps better not to look too closely at how and where they prepare it. Their red and green tamales are just fantastic, the green maybe a little tastier than the red. Generally in our experience there are no English speakers working but, they are always very friendly and get the order right every time. Freshly made, hot and delicious tamales, beat that!

This is a small place that is for take out only. No table seating. Nice lady at register. The tamales...... ugh. Gross. Mostly corn meal. The pork inside full of fat. I'm so grossed out. The green chili has good flavor and a kick to it. I will not be back. The rice is bland and the beans are dry. Very disappointed.

Bad news: there's about a 60% chance your order will be messed up.Good news: virtually EVERYTHING on the menu is fantastic.The former is only an issue if there something in particular to don't want/can't have (I personally can't stand green chilis, so when an ordered plain [chicharrones y papas] burrito come full of green chili, I have to just give it to my girlfriend [who LOVES the stuff--no accounting for taste... ;P]), can be a little problematic. Still, always worth the gamble!

Unfortunately these tamales were pure masa, very little meat, the red ones were dry and lacked flavor. I wanted these to be good. However there were not!

Stop by on 12/8/2023 to get some tamales based on review I seen in Westword from past. I asked for 1/2 dozen of both green and red and they gave me 3 tamales each. They green is very hot and very tasty. The red is very tasty as well. Not enough meat. A little to much masa. But very good. I will be back because it is on the west side of town where I live.

Never had a problem with quality or taste . I been ordering tamales by two or three dozen at a time from here little over a year now . From green to red chili and queso con rajas. Great flavor all around in the masa and meat . They are really generous with their meat in the tamale definitely a A +. I don't like tamales that give you a small cube of pork and all your eating is masa . Not this place I highly recommend them if you want authentic tam
