    As a Mexican- American who's territorial over their families tamales like every other Hispanic family, these tamales are amazing! The owner was standing on the street corner passing out "samples". These samples were full tamales hot and fresh. I love the jalapeño chicken and cheese one it's so yummy. My baby ate his first tamale here and loved it. Their family story behind the tamales is so special and makes you feel at home. I'm picky about tamales but these are moist, flavorful, and full of love. There's no sitting area but I like that because you can the tamales to go and share them with your families at home. Awesome service and amazing fresh tamales!

    I've been craving tamales for some time now and saw that these were "the best in town" so decided to give it a try. I should have known better when I saw they "offered" salsa. If you need salsa for your tamales then there's something wrong. We ordered pork and jalapeño with cheese. They are so skinny and with very minimal filling inside. No vale la pena. The jalapeño ones ...I didn't see any jalapeños at all...so not sure if they were molido or what.

    the tamales tasted good pero parece que ala señora se cansó de ponerle masa a los tamales !!! ademas bien mamona skinny ss tamales

    Delicious ! Even the masa is seasoned!

    I hate to update my review and give them a lower rating, but I was disappointed eating this meal. The only reason they're getting three stars and not two is because of the fresh red salsa. The salsa was so delicious! Let's get to the tamales. What a disappointment. The masa was lacking in flavor and the tamale itself had more MASA than meat. I will no longer buy tamales from here. The quality has gone down tremendously. The customer service was subpar as well. I wasn't even greeted and the worker was not even wearing a mask. For $12 a dozen, find your tamales elsewhere.

    Oh my, where do I start. At a locals farmers market, Granny's Famous Tamales boasted they were the TOP 10 in Houston. So, hook.. line .. and sinker I was all in. They were dry, and no filling.

    Look for the sign!

    Hidden location in Old Town Spring. Need to look for the sandwich board on Main Street. My son recommended it as he just had it for Christmas, so I took a drive over to check it out. I got the non-spicy pork and beef and tempered the heat with the red and green salsa they provide. Excellent hand made tamales which they prepare elsewhere and transport to this location so there is always the chance or selling out. Very greasy from the lard the way it should be. One half dozen will fill you up. Really captures the yellow corn flavor in the masa. My grannie made Filipino lumpia, but if she was Mexican, I'm sure she would approve of this. When you want a quick bite while walking around Old Town Spring, great place to snack!

    Best tamales around.

The Pico de Colibrí was the perfect starter--bright, fresh, with just the right balance of sweet corn, cilantro crema, and cotija cheese. The Costillas de Res con Frijoles Arrieros were incredibly tender and packed with rich, savory flavor, and the hearty black bean stew paired perfectly. The Filete de Pescado Campirana was another standout--the sea bass was flaky and moist, and the tomatillo, serrano, and epazote gave it a delicious, authentic flavor without overpowering the fish. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and every bite was outstanding. We didn't have a single dish that disappointed us. We'll definitely be back!

I gave it a try by getting a mixed plate with different items so I could try a little bit of everything. My dad got the same thing but a this different mixed plate and we agreed to share and taste each others food. The cheese enchiladas were good. They're made with chili gravy. The chicken flauta was good. I wasn't a fan of the beans and rice nor the Chile Relleno. The cheese is just shredded mozzarella basically not the actual cheesy find in a Chile Relleno. The stuffed avocado was too fried for me and way too much cheese. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the restrooms are super clean, which is always a plus for any restaurant. Unfortunately, we had some issues with our server, lots of miscommunication and a huge language barrier. In the end, I'm starting to wonder if he was just new because he didn't even know how to operate his own payment system. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, but I know a lot of people like this food and restaurant based on other ratings so I say try it for yourself.

And every single time it is so good. Best margaritas in town for sure. We also always get queso, the fajita is there so much that we used to get the fajitas for two and now we just got them for one because there's so much meat and the onions and peppers and you just can't go wrong at this place! Most importantly, get a margarita, the mango margarita I don't like frozen margaritas so I can get mine on the rocks usually rimmed with Tajin. The other cool thing is all of the servers expediters they help each other. I've been in the restaurant business a long time. Nothing in my eyes for front of the house then to have everybody working as a team. And if you stop someone, that's not your server and ask for something they just get it for you.
