Love THE Tamale place. Some of the best tamales I've ever had. Great tacos too. I come to Indy 2-4x per year for racing events or trade shows and make it a point to stop here at least once every trip.

We live in Westfield but any time I'm even remotely close I have to stop in and stock up! The tamales are fantastic, the pork tacos are absolute flavor bombs and their homemade chips are about the best I've ever had. I so wish they had a location on the North side but as long as they keep the quality up it IS worth the trip!

Place used to be so amazing. It was one of my favorite places to frequent back in the day. Just flat over priced these days. Quality has gone down hill. The staff barely interacts and when you ask if they have a new menu item... You get... "I don't like it or it's not my favorite" gave this place more money than I care to admit... But won't be back. This place used to be authentic when they 1st opened. Not the same anymore. WAY better options in the Indy area these days.
