Being originally from California, finding really great Mexican food has been difficult. My husband loves tamales and I can usually take them or leave them, but this placed completely changed that. Their tamales and birria are top tier! Absolutely phenomenal food and service. We tried this place for the first time yesterday. My husband arrived when they first opened at 11 and then went back at 3pm for more but they were sold out. Went there again today at 11 we are addicted. Lol What we've tried so far: Birriaqueso tamale 10/10 Polloverde tamale - Chaparrita style with green salsa 10/10 Cheesy jalapeño tamale - Chaparrita style with green salsa 8/10 El krustymal - polloverde tamale 10/10 Los Krustyacos 10/10 read more

Was recommended this place from a coworker and my partner and I decided to come check it out. So glad we did! We ordered the tamales (birriaqueso, pollo verde, and rajas) and also the quessabirria taco plato! The wait wasn't long and the food was so delicious! Everything was so flavorful and I love the kick of spiciness you get. I told my partner that the ratio of cheese and birria was perfect. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu! read more

We drove 30 minutes and when we got there they were closing , the nice lady let us in and we got chicken and beef tamales to go ... they would have been perfect , the masa was gummy ! We ate two and threw the rest out , hopefully it was just a one time mistake read more

My face and mouth are burning, my nose is running, my nostrils are flaming like the lipstick wearing dragon from Shrek but my heart is happy because the food here is delicious. This restaurant is rated 4.9 stars and I can see why-- their tamales are delicious and so are their birria tacos! We've eaten here multiple times, and I think I did a review before, but I decided to do one again because it's that good. The employees are really nice here, and while there's nowhere to eat inside, the parking lot is big enough for you to sit in your car and eat if you want to. Highly recommend this spot for tamales and tacos! read more

I just had to stop eating my food to come here and say BUEN PROVECHO El Tamalucas. I always struggle to find good tamales year round & man I know where to go now that I'm back home. If you're like me and wait awhile or get busy after bringing your food home, don't even trip! This food is good even 2 hours after bringing it home , NO re heat needed! I Can only imagine how I will feel when I eat it fresh in the parking lot! The heart & soul that goes into this food is there! As someone who loves to cook, this place is FOR SURE worth the drive & my time. Birria Queso dunker tamales 10/10 ! Flavor is there & they just melt in your mouth after dunking them! Krustymal is my personal favorite because I'm a cheese head. The beautiful cheese crust wrapped around a flavorful tamale 10/10! & this was without putting salsa!! Man oh man! Gracias a todos!! Keep the tamales coming! read more

I can't believe I work down the street from this place and never tried it before! This place was insanely good! Very limited menu but everything was extremely delicious. I had the 2 birria tacos y tamale special and added sauce, cream & queso fresco. Sooo good. The birria was delicous tender beef and the consome was good. The real star was the cheesy jalapeno tamales chaparita style. One of the best I've had. I wanted to try the pollo verde but they were out. Only thing to note is they do not have seating. You order with a friendly staff and they hand you a beeper that lights up when ready. Can't wait to come back! read more

This is our 2nd review as its the first time trying their tamales.We just got the Birria tamales and once again they didnt disappoint. There is definitely more meat than most tamales we have ever had i could almost say about double the meat. They are more expensive but you must take in consideration the amount of meat they give you. Again we will make the trip from henderson to visit this restaurant. Dont hesitate to give this place a try read more

The week before Christmas, I tried to place an order for a couple dozen tamales, but they were so backed up because it's a small and very popular family run business that I've heard have the best tamales in town, I finally made the drive from Henderson to try them on Thursday. You enter, place your order at the small counter space and take a buzzer number and wait for it to beep. There is a good selection of tamales, I ordered the quesobirria tamales, pollo, red pork, and rajas. All were amazing, now I have my go to spot for tamales for the holidays. Keep in mind they are closed on Sunday and Monday, I believe the pricing is better if paying with cash, one last thing if you preorder a dozen or half dozen a day or 2 in advance it will be cheaper. read more

I got the chicken tamale. Loaded with flavor and lots of chicken. The chicken to masa ratio surpassed my expectations. The chicken and masa were seasoned to perfection. I loved the crunch of the cheese while the cilantro and onions only added to the already amazing tasting tamale. When in ROME. I had to get the Birra tacos! Even though I was advised how filling the tamale was. The DUNK sauce was packed with flavor and I could have drank it after the tacos had vanished. $10 got me four tacos and a tamale that was more than I could eat. I shared the rest of the tacos with my coworkers and they were IMPRESSED with how good everything was. They loved meat ratio in the tacos!! The Consomé was packed with flavor and we raved about how amazing the food was. Tacos dunked in consome and tamales can be eating intimidating to eat in the car. Don't let eating in the car stop you!! The food is wrapped neatly in a sturdy cardboard box not the cheap styrofoam containers. You can easily cut the tamale and not break through the box(yay)!! The tacos were neatly packed in a larger to go box. We had room to dunk and eat without making a mess. I was given plenty of forks and napkins. Esmeralda is extremely polite and friendly. I felt like I was grabbing food with an old friend. She went over the menu with me in detail and I enjoyed the time she took to share her story with me. It feels great to support a family. Their food is exceptional. Don't pass up an opportunity to try the best tamales and Birra tacos in Las Vegas that deliver on great flavorful and loaded with meat. They do sell out. GO EARLY!! See you guys soon!!!!! read more

Have been wanting to try this spot for a while and it's definitely worth the hype! We ordered take out in person and food was ready in about 5 min. It's really cozy inside and their order/pickup system makes everything easy. All their salsas were great and there was so much flavor in everything we tried. The tamales were so soft and moist & the birria was tender. Each taco had one of each salsa on it and I honestly loved both. We hope to see drink options in the future but absolutely love their food! read more

El Tamalucas - El E.T. Special - Mexican Near Me - North Las Vegas, Nevada

Flavor was delicious but the tamales were not cooked all the way. The Masa was mushy.

First time here today got to talk to the owner politely asked for a picture for my yelp account he was cool with it. Cashier was very friendly and talkative. It was super quick took maybe 2 minutes. Very clean inside. The food though. I got the E.T combo which is 2 street estilo tacos with birria onions cilantro and salsa taco straight fuego! So much flavor and the right amounts of seasoning the birria so tender and delicious. The consome is on another level. DO NOT WASTE IT DRINK IT ALL!!! The pollo verde and birri queso tamales some of the best I have ever had and my suegra is from Acapulco and homie giving her a run for her money I'm telling you. The flavors and care he put into cooking show. It's authentic and traditional. Keep up the Great work I will be back for sure..!! read more

Amazingly delicious tamales and tacos at a great price! I found out about this place from a coworker. They brought a bunch of tamales from here to a meeting. I have been hooked since! Best tamales ever! I got the 10 dollar special. You can't beat it. It's so good! Everything is good! The only problem I have with this restaurant is the hours. I wish they were open more days and longer in the day. I'd be able to visit more if the hours were a little better. If you want authentic, flavorfully delicious tamales come try this little gem. Their tacos are also good! Keep up the great work! read more

Absolutely a must go. Both me and my colleague got the E.T. Special and it was the best barria and tacos I've ever had, also it included a Tamalle that was to die for. Be prepared for no seating; this is takeout only and no seating. But it is a must and worth it. Food was cheep and quick. read more

Been following them for years and now that they're in a location I finally got the chance to visit. I love nachos and these were the best I've had by far! I got them before going over to Broadacres Swapmeet across the street. They were amazingly flavorful. Service is top tier and very quick if you're in a hurry but it was nice talking to the owner. The inside is very simple with no seating but there's a table outside on the patio area but it didn't seem like it belonged to any specific business in this complex. Speaking of which there's a few other small food businesses in this same building such as Sin City Cheesecakes. They're all worth a try. I can't wait to go back. read more

Pick up only. Love the ET combo but it's two meals for me. Quesobirria tamales are so good. They have the best Birria posole!

I have been following this business since they were a truck and I truly believe they're an amazing Vegas success story. Love that they have a brick n mortar and can cook in the air conditioning. I finally was influenced and drove out to that side of time to try the food. This is the best Birria in town. 100%. Hands down. They have an actual spice and you can taste the herbs. It's not just beef tomato water like some places. They specialize in tamales and are known to sell out. I think the menu is very affordable. They have a tamale plus two Birria tacos special with salsa and consommé and it's only $10. They have crunchy tacos, quesadillas, and a Birria tamal dunker that has cheese. You dunk it in to consommé. These tamals have a more smooth and moist consistency. They are absolutely delicious. Last, they have a Sunday pozole Birria stew that I want to try, you can order tamals by the dozen, and they have their salsa in large containers. Best salsa I've ever had wow read more

El Tamalucas - I bought two of these and a large container of salsa. - Mexican Near Me - North Las Vegas, Nevada

Decided to try it after seeing posts on Insta and the positive Yelp/Google reviews. One of the best Tamales we've had in vegas and above average (but not special) tacos. Overall, the food was worth the hype and the staff seemed cool. Likely won't be back as there's no interior seating so either it's takeout (perfectly fine option) or you're battling birria juice/oil in the car. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance and let me tell you everything you've heard is true, their tamales are bomb and they have daily special and you can call ahead to place your order! When you come here, get one of each, I got the days special and three different tamales and let's just say they what was supposed to be two meals was one big fat delicious meal read more

You may hear about so many other birria places in town, but this one is definitely thee best!!! They don't miss! The tacos and tamales. It's become my every Saturday midday run now because you def have to go early otherwise they will be sold out. read more

Las Vegas Gem! Small spot north of The Strip. All their tamales are delicious. The masa is one of a kind recipe handed down from the ancestors. Tamales are big and loaded with meat. The meat & sauces have a deep flavor that leaves you licking your fingers. The owners are so sweet and you feel like family when you visit. Note: no place to sit and eat. We usually sit in our car to eat or stand outside next to the building. Price of the food is WORTH EVERY PENNY. Give it a try. You won't regret it. read more
