Taqueira Camino Real - Gresham

This is mainly a to go place for individual Mexican dinners or just 3 kinds of tamales sold by 10 to dozen price. Homemade very tasty. Comes with sour cream 2 ki ds of sauces if you want them. Will go back again. Very good. High quality.very friendly and quick service.

Wow! The Pork and Green Chile Tamale was excellent, the Sweet Corn Tamale a real treat. But man oh man, you got to try the beans! Estupendo! Excellent value for price to quantity and quality of food. Excellent tamales. But did I mention the beans?! Yumm!

It’s surprisingly difficult to find good tamales. Maybe because I was spoiled with my great grandmother’s homemade tamales growing up. But the ones from Tamale Factory are amazing! Meat to masa ratio is on point and they are nice and moist. I planned to make my own for Christmas but I’ll just be getting some from here instead.

We ordered 1 dozen half chicken with red salsa and pork with green salsa. They had good flavor however I wasn't expecting so much mass and little meats inside. This made them a little on the dry side I will still go back to try other flavors.

As first impressions go: FINALLY somewhere in Portland I can get some REAL TAMALES. You can tell these are hand made with love and I love it. We tried a mixed dozen (chose pork, chicken, jalapeño cheese tamales with side of rice/beans. Tamales were deliciously STUFFED with filling, not dry at all. Salsas were delicious too! Bet the horchata is done RIGHT (like the food is! because they were fresh out for the day. Will definitely come back to try the Oaxacan style tamales horchata (if I’m lucky: it goes fast a good sign IMO !
