Tamale Co. Mexican Street Food

From the person who took our order at the counter to the bartender and the server the customer service was amazing! Everyone made us feel like we were family! We had the salsa and chips as starters and the salsa was very fresh and the chips were delicious! We ordered the watermelon margaritas and they both were amazing as well. The main courses were the steak fajitas and these loaded fries (can't remember the name) but they were the star of the show! I had fish tacos which were so good and the fish definitely tasted fresh and not frozen! Nothing disappointed the ambience was curated perfectly to the Mexican style aesthetics!

Been wanting to try this place for a while. We came for a Sunday night dinner. Ordered the beer special (2 for $6) but they were out of two of the beers we wanted, so ordered the third option. Be sure to bring your own water, because they don't have free water, you need to buy a water bottle. Had the elote corn, chips & queso for appetizers, and they were really great. Had the fish tacos and shrimp fajitas for dinner. The fish tacos were great, no complaints. The shrimp fajitas had great flavor, but they still had the tails on the shrimp. So when they came out sizzling, you couldn't pull the tails off without burning yourself. You have to wait for them to cool a little to just cut the tails off, but then you are losing a good amount of shrimp.The inside was super cute with fun decorations, and the wait staff was awesome,Would come back for the appetizers and tacos, but definitely not the shrimp fajitas

Ambiance is fun and lively - well decorated, tables and booths inside and a few tables outside with umbrellas. You order at the counter like a food hall but they deliver the food to your table, and the food service is fast! Everything we ordered was perfect in flavor, portion, and temperature.Appetizers we had: Elote, chicharrones elote, Mole fries & Jenny special dip with chips (our favorite!).Entrees: pollo ranchero tamales, birria quesotacos, chicken fajita tamales, & carne asada fajita ramales. Be warned! If you order the fajitas, make space because they are large portions.EVERYTHING had great flavor and seasoning, nothing too spicy for our non-spicy friends. For those that like spicy, ask for jalapeños on the side.

2nd time at Tamale Co. This time with my husband who us a recent convert of tamales.He loved it. We ordered El Trio, salsa, guacamole and queso with chips. The freshest salsa & guacamole I've ever had and the queso is perfection. My husband had The Traditional, two chicken tamales with rice and beans. Green salsa, sour cream and cilantro on the side. I had Dos Amigos, two chicken tamales one topped with green salsa, the other with red salsa, served with rice and beans. Dios mio, God, it's sooo good. Fluffy, soft, flavorful tamales. The rice perfectly seasoned, the beans creamy and delicious! For drinks, agua fresca de Jamaica (Hibiscus water) so refreshing & sweet! The service is always on point. They all are friendly, efficient and awesome.

Amazing Horchata!!!! My favorite whenever we come to Lake Eola. I have had their quesadillas before and they are packed with cheese & flavor. Absolutely delicious!!!!

I've been a customer since the beginning at their food truck. When they opened in Hourglass District, only 2 miles from my house, I was thrilled! My go to order is Dos Amigos, and never disappoints. I never tried tamales before I went to Tamale Co, and they set the standard for all others to compare. The owners & staff are always friendly, always welcoming.

2nd review or update. The interior and music are fun. The staff is friendly and attentive. I sat at the bar, but everyone seemed to be getting good service. You order at the register and they bring drinks and food to you.I ordered the "Most Mexican". The tamales are really good. I'm typically not a fan of refried beans, but the refried black beans are good. I ate 1/2 or more. I took 6 pork tamales home for my freezer .

We had a great meal at Tamale Co.! We got a bag of Chicharrones to hold us off while we waited for our food. We seriously could not stop eating them!For my main, I ordered the Dos Amigos which are two chicken tamales with the signature red chipotle sauce and the tomatillo green sauce. Both were delicious, but my favorite was the tomatillo green sauce! It came with well seasoned beans and rice as well. My friend got the tacos and also really enjoyed them. Plus, we spilt a side of fries to snack on. I highly recommend for a great meal in the hour glass district!

It's in the name - the tamale is the thing to get! Delicious, as are the refried beans and rice. I definitely recommend getting their chips, they are super tasty and seem to have lime salt or zest on them? Soo good. We ordered takeout but the portions were still decent.

If your looking for Latin inspired food with vegan options, this is one of the places you need to go! Vibrant place, friendly staff and hot flavorful food! The Tamale Co. is very creative and the dishes look like art work when served! Big portions that are very filling! I tried the Mex-one nopales vegan tamale, first time trying a nopales! It was wonderful! My husband has the Frijoles Negros vegan, he said many times how the food was hot and so flavorful! Nice spot to stop!! We will come back!!
