Tamahli opened around my area about 7 years ago, and while I never ate there, I had often heard…read morethat their tamales were delicious. In fact, I had a coworker who couldn't get enough of them. They closed pretty soon after opening, so, I never had a chance to taste their tamales. Fast forward to a couple of days, when I discovered that they had a brick-and-mortar site where orders could be placed and picked up. When I called the person taking the order was very friendly and pleasant. They asked for a pick-up time, they do close after 2, and I placed my order for the banana leaf Holy Moley and the Poblano. The Tamahli building looks like a tiny warehouse, not a restaurant, so it can be a bit disconcerting when picking up orders. Plus, I had to ring at the entrance to gain access into the building, The inside is clean, but very office like, although it seems they may have a kitchen towards the back area. I got my tamales, paid and got ready for my favorite part, eating them. The tamales were delicious and well made. They reminded me a bit of the authentic Mexico City tamales eaten through the years and missed, since they are not easy to find here in SA. We usually have to make them. These had a little bit less masa, but were flavorful and delicious. They were about $14.50 for a 1/2 of Holy Moley and $9.50 for the Poblanos, so pretty pricey, but worth a try. I would definitely recommend them if looking for a tamale that is more similar to those made in Mexico DF.

Masa: moist, not grainy, did not stick to foil, mild corn taste. Masa looks thick but is so tender, it melts in your mouth. Masa to meat ratio: about 50/50 Pork: finely ground but still strands of meat and moist and great pork flavor. You know it's pork. Cream cheese/chicken: this was my favorite. Slightly spicy from the jalapeno, very finely minced chicken and smooth creamy cheese. You are not eating this one for the chicken; the blending of the spicy cream cheese with the masa is the experience you will remember.

IN QUOTATIONS ARE COMMENTS FROM GRANNY'S TAMALES ON 12/12/2020 FROM THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE IN RESPONSE…read moreTO A REVIEW BY SOMEONE IN OUR HOUSEHOLD THAT DAY. "Unfortunately we do not deliver to peoples houses." Your Facebook page has a post dated 11/21/2020 @ 12:55 pm that states: "call for delivery of 5dz or more." "In this situation we called to deliver early and after 12 attempts we could not get through to anyone." You previously stated above that you 'do not deliver' and your very next line says you 'called to deliver' early. I have also posted a copy of the Messenger conversation where you confirmed delivery and the time frame of 2 pm to 3 pm. You said nothing about not delivering to homes and you called one and a half hours before the scheduled delivery! That's unreasonable and unacceptable. And if there was the possibility that you were going to deliver early, you should have let me know when I placed the order. Even on Saturday, you could have called, texted, or messaged WAY before you did. You waited until the very last minute and then bailed. When I noticed TWO calls and ONE voice mail, I returned the call. You immediately asked if you could call me right back. Twenty-six minutes later you called me back with so many excuses. Excuses are nothing more than a reason to fail. You stated you tried to call from Montgomery Rd. If that was true, you were actually on the way to my house. AND, you would have been to my house BEFORE you could even have made 12 calls. You were 3 (or less) minutes away! You didn't even attempt to come to my house! That's what delivery is - going to the customer's house! "We always put our customers first but in this case we could not wait." You did not put me first. Your 'granny' would have been ashamed of the way you handled this situation. You should be ashamed of yourself. "We had 5 dozen unpaid tamales and had to head back to corpus christi." Again, don't blame me. If you had followed through as promised, you could have sold out. "We have extremely long days beginning at 2am and head back as soon as well sell out." Don't put the burdens of the business on your customers. Your business - your responsibility. "Like I said I do not deliver to homes." Yes, you do! Your own website states you deliver, but does not specify delivery to businesses or homes! When you confirmed my order through Messenger you agreed to deliver to my home. "And when I call and leave multiple voice-mails and no response. Yes we will have to move onto the next customer." You left ONE voicemail! When all of the orders had been completed at the Walzem location, all you had to do is simply come to my house to deliver as promised. Even if it was early and I did not answer the phone, three adults were home and the front door was open. A simple honk would have gotten our attention. "I'm sorry you had a bad experience." No, I do not believe you are sorry. On the phone you were fast and loose with excuses, speaking very rapidly, and so loud that others in the room could hear you even though you were not on speakerphone. This situation was not my fault and you didn't even offer to make it right. "But this business is not a store front its mobile and it is different." Mobile = Delivery. If you're already mobile, delivery shouldn't be an issue. If you cannot abide by the rules you have, might I suggest your business put into place some very specific terms and conditions? "Hope you have a great day and a happy holidays. Thank you. " We will have a very Happy Holiday. We will get our tamales from a more reliable and credible business.
