Evie's Tamales

Excellent tacos at a reasonable price. The menudo was perfect. Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, new menus in photos. , nothing mire needs to be said.

While visiting back in my hometown of Detroit and had to make a stop in Mexican town to have some authentic Mexican food. I had the chorizo and eggs and my friend had a chunky beef stew over fried eggs with rice and beans. The staff is super friendly and responsive.

Such a gem! I've been getting tamales to go from Evie's for years. Recently, I had some extra time so I stopped in for breakfast. I had a whole breakfast plus two tamales and a soft drink for $8! It was outstanding, quick and tasty. If you're in the area, and understand that this little mom and pop establishment is known for quality food more than a updated atmosphere, stop in!

Friendly staff.. However disappointed this tamale place doesn't deliver the tamales. More than half of them require an hour ahead notice to prepare. Tamales are usually made ahead of time in mass quantities. Would not return.

I visited Evie's recently for some tamales. It appears that the dining room has been reopened.

I worked in Mexicantown several days last September and happened to come across Evie's Tamales since it was one of the few places open before 9AM for breakfast. I'm rarely on the southwest side of town and it was a treat to explore all of the wonderful Mexican bakeries and restaurants here. Its breakfast is one of the best deals you can find in this neighborhood. Almost all of the breakfast meals are under $5. The portions are large with breakfast entrees served with rice, beans, and tortillas. The breakfasts I ordered were Chorizo - Mexican sausage with scrambled eggs and Chicharrons con Huevos - pork rinds with scrambled eggs. I love pork belly so I especially liked the chicharrons plate. I never had chicharrons with scrambled eggs, but it works so well just like bacon and eggs. Evie's Tamales opens at 4AM so if you're ever in Mexicantown early in the morning, this is a good breakfast place.

Really great food they have the cook that's excellent. You need to try it on 23 in Bagley Miss Eva's great food great food thumbs up five stars.

The service was good, the ladies were very accommodating. The place is small but has about 10 tables to sit comfortably. The rice and beans were good. Being from California, I expected the kind of tamales I make- rectangular shaped and meat smothered in sauce to make it juicy! I heard so much about the tamales being the best! Let's just say they weren't my mothers ' tamales!!! They looked and tasted like store bought taquitos- the masa and meat were dry and I couldn't tell which was which because they are rolled so tight!! However this being Detroit, Mexican town is what it is!!!! A block of Not Mexican, Mexican food and items!

For sure we will back the quantity and quality along with price was great for the family. The food was fresh and tamales moist!The nice owner even gave the kids a hug and free cookie. She even offered them a job when they get older.This is truly a family place and representative of what business should be and used to be. Thank you we will be back our kids loved it and couldn't stop talking about their future jobs lol!

Amazing value, very sweet staff. I took my one year old on Friday and we enjoyed the breakfast items, a lunch plate and an extremely generous guacamole. We are already looking forward to returning this week!
