Alamo Tamale Company - Houston

Always goodAnd not as expensive as other tamale placesI like the hand made ones because I like a lot of masa.

Since they expanded the building and added so much more room to sit and eat, park your car and improved the process of waiting in the buffet line to order

I'm a fan of this business but today not so muchI ordered two doz tamales and noticed the masa was gooey and uncooked, not cool.

Always a good time here! I went early in the morning and I highly recommend that to beat the crowd sometimes. I haven’t been here in years and it’s exactly the same as I remember. Very consistent. The sauces were off the chain as usual! Love this place and will always be back when I’m in the area. They also seem like they will continue to expand.

The tamales didn’t live up to all the hype. The masa was rough and not fully cooked, causing them to fall apart because they weren't wrapped properly. I ordered the handmade ones. On the other hand, the egg mix tacos were excellent. However, the barbacoa tacos were quite mushy. I ended up spending $64 for two dozen tamales and six tacos, which I definitely don’t think was worth it.
