I heard good things from a co-worker about the authenticity of this place and am psyched to find the quality was even better than I expected. I got two tacos (chicken and pork) and will def make it a plate next time (add rice and beans). So good! reasonable prices, too... read more

Mr tamole is located In the Boston public market. I liked it because it's not as crowded and Quincy market. I ordered the tamale plate and felt that there was way too much masa and barely any meat. For the price I would have appreciated more meet in the tamale. Majority of it was left uneaten because I'm not a fan of chunks of masa. I did like the salsa verde as well as the rice and beans however. read more

MR Tamole - Mexican Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The first Mexican restaurant in the Boston Public Market is exciting! Get the mole tamales - after all that is why it's called Mr. Tamole . I made the mistake of getting tacos when I was in a hurry for lunch bc I love tacos, but these tacos were small and fairly light on toppings but high on price. Staff were very nice and they just opened a few months back! This restaurant is right next to seating area. read more

MR Tamole - Inside - Mexican Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is what a great tamale tastes like! The masa was just right and the ratio of meat to masa was perfect. True to Mexican cuisine the pipián mole was full of flavor without being spicy! Our service was wonderful from the moment we walked into the stall. We were greeted quickly and all of our questions about the sauces were answered with honesty. Can't wait to come back for the chilaquiles!! read more

$12 tamale with rice and beans but what you get is just starch and no meat. Total waste of money cause it was flavorless. Did not enjoy my meal. Careful cause they might overcharge you sauce when you didn't even ask for it read more

Best Mexican in Boston. The flavors are electric. You cannot bet the price. And how can you not support a mother/son business?

My experiences in Southern California have taught me that tamales should be fresh and very flavorful. My tamale from MR Tamole was large, to be sure, but I could not taste the poblanos and cheese inside, and the corn tamale itself was bland. It was served with black beans and white rice -- both also flavorless. Disappointing. read more

Great staff and beautiful vendor set up. The tamales were half of pound of masa only. I had a sliver of chx inside. It really could be something good if the masa to filing ratio wasn't insulting. read more

Pretty pricey for a starchy and minimal protein tamale, I would not recommend nor come back.

This place was pretty terrible and a ripoff. Their tamales barely have any meat. We ordered one extra tamale and when we got our order, she only gave us one... not to mention, she charged us for extra mole sauce when we never asked for any. The tamales were very starchy. read more

Sooo good! Loved the chicken tamale with green and red sauce. Rice and beans on the side! Will definitely be back. It's gluten free!

I really wanted to like this vendor's food because there are few options in Boston for Puebla-style food. They had run out of pipian sauce, so I ordered a pork tamale w. mole, rice, and beans. The mole was ok, but not enough sauce to cover the tamale. The tamale was mostly masa, but the small portion of pork was tasty; the rice and beans lacked flavor. Altogether, I was disappointed. read more

Mr. Tamole at the Boston Public Market is an absolute gem. The owner is beyond charming--so warm and welcoming--and it truly sets the tone for the whole experience. The food? Unreal. I had the green mole bowl and it was perfectly spiced, deeply flavorful, and honestly one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. Balanced, rich, comforting, and exciting all at once. I truly cannot speak highly enough about how delicious this meal was. If you're anywhere near the Public Market, this is a must-stop!! read more

Tamale was mostly starch and barely any meat for what you pay for $9 each. Ordered two and only received one. Got charged extra sauce and there was no sauce. Food was mid was best. Also. And out not even hot, was warm. 1/5 read more

Let's start with the fact that the chicken and carnitas tacos were amazing. Also appreciate the genuine attentiveness to my children's allergies. It is hard to grab lunch in the go as a result but the staff was very aware of the ingredients, and my kids were able to enjoy. Genuinely nice and lovely individuals as well, will certainly return. read more

Got a pork torta from here it was so so delicious! I've tried a couple different places at the Boston public market and so far this place is my favorite, will be recommending to friends and coming back here! They were also super nice when taking my order and made sure to ask my preferences on spice and cilantro. read more

DELICIOUS!! OMG! You have to make sure you get tamales from here. They are so damn tasty! It's so great to be able to have vegan tamales since so hard to find. They have various options & sauces to add on top which I didn't bother with & it didn't need it. So yeah, make sure you get it wherever they do pop-ups. So damn worth it. read more

Christmastime in socal meant finding delicious homemade tamales, so I was happy to find a place in Boston that looked really good and delivered. Ordering is very casual: you email them what you want, your address, and your phone number. Then you pay them in venmo and they deliver. I emailed them the night of the 23rd, paid the morning of the 24th, and I had my tamales that afternoon! The only hiccup was that I got red salsa despite having ordered green salsa, but they also gave me a tub of mole paste and the red salsa was delicious. The chicken mole tamales were delicious. Fragrant, rich, masa and tender, flavorful chicken. They're even better smothered in either the salsa or mole (fry the mole paste and then dilute it with some chicken stock to get the right consistency). I can't wait to try some of their other flavors! read more

Best Tamole in Boston!! Have been searching for an amazing tamole in the city and found it today when they were at SoWa! Incredible service and team read more

I've had their tamales at various occasions (Egleston Farmer's Market, Wake Up the Earth Fest) and have always been happy with them. Large, substantial yet fluffy, chock-full of the tastiest fillings, and topped with the most delicious mole sauce- these are some top notch tamales. My current favorite flavor is pork with red salsa and cheese, but all the varieties I've tried have been tasty. During the time of pandemic, they offered a dozen frozen tamales plus mole paste for local delivery, and let me tell you, they made for an absolutely wonderful meal, a real highlight to look forward to during these dark days (especially that mole, which you could put on a shoe and would make it taste amazing). If you haven't taken advantage yet, please do before they run out- these are fully worth it. read more

Absolutely delicious tamale stand at the Egleston Farmer's Market. It's just outside the entrance to the Samuel Adams Brewery entrance. My wife ordered two tamales with the intention of sharing, but ended up eating both, and I had to get my own. I got the red salsa tamale, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Check it out if you're hungry before or after the tour! read more

Terrible tamales at a price which constitutes highway robbery! These people should be in jail for peddling this tripe. Dry masa, tomato sauce being called 'salsa', little to no meat or other ingredients... just a terrible excuse for tamales. read more
