Greatest, I've had these for years and there is nothing like them. I live 700 miles away now but have every home visitor bring me these!!!

I love their mild tamales! Very good. I slather them in ketchup and yummmm! They have a very convenient drive thru.

Meatless paradise - don't hesitate to stop when in Corinth or passing through. There is something to be said about a restaurant which has been open so long and has 1 menu item. Delish read more

Comfy little spot that's been here for years, and what seemed liked the owner was very sweet. We are used to Texan/Mexican tamales and these were a little different but enjoyable and very good! Food was so hot we had to wait but no one is complaining about hot food! I will definitely get them again when I'm back in Corinth. There's a drive thru and a walk up but no seating. A dozen of tamales was only 5.50 and they have drinks like sweet tea, water and soda. Definitely great prices for what you get. read more

The food is great the service is awesome. Been going here for years and never had a bad experience. Highly recommend !

Great taste and friendly lady at window very friendly and efficient!! Recommend them to everyone.

Awesome tamales and the friendliest people working there. My only regret is that I only bought one dozen.

First time I had tamales like this, got the original recipe and they were delicious. Went back the next day to get a dozen more for the cooler so I'd have something for the rest of the road trip. They reheated well in the microwave (covered them so that they retained moisture. read more

Nice staff. Tamales are not as good as they used to be when I lived here. It's just a staple food in the area.

Fun drive-through experience. As first-timers, we appreciated the young lady at the window who helped us with our order. She treated us so graciously, which made us feel welcomed and special. As others have posted: Do not expect Mexican-style tamales. The texture is similar, and so is the flavor, but they are shaped like skinny churros and have a savory taste from the spices that I can't describe as Mexican. A delicious experience we will not forget! read more

We made sure to drive through Corinth at the right time so we could try the tamales. They are different than anything I've tried before but I really liked them. read more

I have been eating Dilworth's tamales since childhood. Back then the tamale wrapper was sewn shut with thread. That was a coolness factor you don't get anymore, but the taste and balance of seasoning to meal is the same. I have bought a couple dozen just to keep in the freezer for spur of the moment cravings or times I can't get to Dilworth's. Just boil them in the foil bundle for 30 minutes and you are on your way. Tourists should note though: these are not corn husk or banana leaf rolled tamales. There is no shredded beef, pork, chicken or other noticeable forms of meat inside them. They are a slender roll about 8" long and rolled in a parchment style paper. Don't hesitate to order 3 dozen or even more if you have 3 or more people traveling with you. It sounds like a lot, but they are small and it takes several to fill you up......like a Krystal burger. Also, tourists, don't make plans to dine in (owner was robbed several years ago and has since closed the dining area) fool her once shame on you, fool her twice....ain't gonna' happen. They do one thing and they do it well. This is an intersting short video about Dilworth's http://youtu.be/glIuSFEGjgU read more

Dilworth's Tamales - Tamales - Mexican Near Me - Corinth, Mississippi

Really good tamales and priced just right. Definitely worth a downtown visit, when you are shopping in the SoCo.

Haven't had delta hot tamales since I was a kid. After 40 years they are exactly what I remember. An institution and an experience you owe it to you self to visit. read more

If you can still stand the hot spicy flavor, you can still get tamales prepared just the way they were 50 years ago- except the tamale ends are no longer tied with string, aluminum foil is used to insulate and wrap the order instead of just butcher paper, and they are no longer sold from pushcarts on the streets. Dilworth's retains the use of Ferguson's recipe which was well known for the pushcarts seen on the streets, at sporting events and at local railroad depots during most of the last century. The other distinctive thing you'll notice about Dilworth's is the drive-thru window- their own unique design and an adventure in itself to navigate. Tamales are served "hot", be sure when ordering to specify mild if that is your taste preference. read more

This should not say "Mexican". It's not Mexican. It's GREAT, but it's not Mexican. These are Mississippi delta style tamales. They are AWESOME! But don't go thinking Mexican. The fried pies are really good too. read more

Back home for a visit! I now reside in California for many years. We don't have tamales like Dilworth's so it's always good to stop in an get an order. This time I picked up 6 dozen to share with family. Throw in some peach, orange or grape soda and it's a feast!!! Memories of my childhood come into my mind! My dad loved them and though he has passed his presence was definitely felt when we got a smell of those yummy tamales. Thanks Dilworth for indulging me! read more

50+ years of great tamales, some I the best you'll ever have and it won't break the bank. Great history, great family and great food, highly recommended! read more

Not sure if there were other options than plain. The tamales were tasty and spicy. It was odd though. They were probably 8 inches long and diameter a quarter of an inch. Very odd. Not the kind of tamales that I am used to receiving. I like how tax is included with the order. There was not a sitting area, drive thru only. Cheap price, but if you go, see if they have beef or chicken filling at all. If it's just plain, Probably pass. read more

Three stars but don't get me wrong the tamales are really good. They were much better the second time and if they are like that every time I might go to four stars. Long and thin but have the typical delta tamale flavor. Make sure to get the hot! read more

In a 'what were we thinking' aberation, we bought a house in Corinth a few years back...but that's another story! We discovered among other regional delights...DILWORTH'S .! In a former 1930s gas station on a street of derelict empty stores stands DILWORTH'S. If one is expecting 'Mexican' type tamales...think again. The Mississippi Tamale is something different...(and a little the same). They are good...and affordable by the bunch. I would buy a dozen (hot, the only way) and take them to the old Southern RR/Gulf Mobile & Ohio RR station, eat them while watching trains! What a great way to use an hour in Corinth! Side note: another area 'delight' is the 'SLUGBURGER'...interesting to try once, but deserving to remain a regional oddity! read more
