The tamale i got was so delicious! I'm extremely picky about tamales. Not all are created equal but these were impressive. Flavor amazing and size wow!

I got this by Doordash, so this may be the problem. Door dash arrive 12 minutes after I ordered, so not Doordash issue. It might be how they undervalue take out customers.My mole chicken was dry and tasteless. When was the mole? Not a bit of sauce. This was disappointing.The chips were the kind you can buy on sale in the snack aisle of your local bargain grocer.The only redeeming food was their guacamole. That was decent.I think I will try another place next time I need take out. Sigh.

Food was ok. Food truck came, I had the pork tamale with rice and beans. The gentleman working the food truck was nice and friendly, the food truck itself was nice, clean, and organized.

I tried a few other joints and made it back to Tamale Boy where I'll stick. The fundido was great. I had the tinga de pollo tamale... really fresh and a good balance of filling to masa. Tangy salsa provided as well and I would have eaten as many pickled onions as they put in the box. My favorite of all this good stuff was the shrimp taco... plump, fresh and a good portion. All was delivered in a nice bag.

Great service, friendly staff who genuinely enjoy their work. Great tasting food, with attention to detail in its presentation. The Burrito DelMar was delicious! Open air ambiance was comfortable.

Tamale Boy is absolutely delicious I was at a doc appt at OHSU when I seen the food truck. I was planning on only getting 1 but, I decided to get 2 what a great decision. There are variety of tamales to choose from and I decided on the Chile Verde (marinated pork w/ green tomatillo sauce) it's so moist and flavorful. Not only is the meat seasoned to perfection the masa it's self was seasoned. I have never tasted a tamale so good and the pickled onions (yummm)! It cost me 10.50 for 2 and I tell you it was absolutely worth every penny. I have enclosed some pictures down below for your viewing pleasure. Btw the customer service was top tier and I plan to visit their actual location in the future. Enjoy!

This was a wonderful experience trying out the tamales of Tamale Boy! They are right next door to Second Profession Brewing and you can take what you ordered at Tamale Boy and eat in the brewery. They may even bring the tamales to you in the brewery!A few of the tamales we got were the Oaxaqueao Molé Negro, a wonderful tamale in which the molé was just perfect!The Norteno Chile Verde was another tamale we had and the Chili Verde was just stellar for this tamale. Five stars all the way there!The tamales are just perfect in preparation as they are perfectly moist and not dried out at all. Sometimes that is a down fall with some tamale restaurants. The tamales are huge and having two will definitely fill you up so if you aren't extremely hungry then stick with one.There are other menu items to utilize besides tamales which is fairly considerable but we were set on tamales going off of the name and reputation!

We were craving nachos, and after much research decided to try tamale boy. The online menu didn't show nachos but we called to verify and they had it on their menu. The area has a fair amount of street parking, which was nice didn't have to walk too far, and the inside had a very industrial field to it, but high ceilings, which made it feel very spacious.All the employees were very nice and there was a lot to choose from from their menu. We went with multiple tamales and a plate of nachos with Carne Asada. We had Molé, Amarillo, and cochinita pibil.The nacho chips are crispy, and the queso is very good, and the plate was fully loaded with toppings. Definitely our go to place for nachos going forward.The tamales were very moist, and the Masa held up well. Each tamale was very big and fair priced and had a lot of meat.

TBH, we've been here before and were recycling some computers and wanted the Brussels Sprouts here at Tamale Boy, so we made the trip and were not disappointed. So, the bruselas toreadas. Do NOT let the aioli drop into the accumulated juices. The caper aioli is one of the best things I've ever had. Period. The lime and worchestershire sauce in the prep combined with the corn and the aioli are simply transcendent. The-woman-who-lets-me-live-with-her (thanks Mike) came just for these.But you have to add the oaxaqueno tamales. For me, these beat the rest of the filed hands down. The twice cooked masa is so creamy and, honestly, silky that your mind is blow even before the filling explodes with flavor in your mouth. We had Cochinita Pibil, which is pork roasted in citrus, Mole Negro, which is self explanatory, and Amarillo, shredded beef.Each was excellent in flavor and while the mole was a bit tough, none of them disappointed.We haven't had occasion to be in the neighborhood for a while, but we're going to invent some reasons going forward!
