It's really hard to find good tamales. I heard a mix of good and bad about Patty's Tamales decided to give them a try. They definitely are not $2.00 a tamale. I got 6 tamales and it was $45.99. 4 of the tamales were ice cold And all the tamales were mostly masa what little meat was dried up and hard. Definitely not good at all. I thought maybe it was just a bad day or batches. Gave them a second try 2 weeks later. And absolutely gross. Maybe at one time this use to be good tamales but whoever is making them now is not doing a good job. Also if you go hopefully you speak Spanish because they don't speak English and if they do its barley any. That could be a problem for some that don't speak Spanish. Place has potential if they get someone that can make good tamales. And have more variety read more

I drive by this place almost daily and decided to stop and give it a try today. I absolutely LOVE tamales, and so I was worried they might not be good but I was definitely wrong! I got 3 cheese/green(my fav) and one of the red chicken to try, I ate one of the cheese and the chicken one as soon as I got home. They are a good size for the price, and have the right amount of filling to masa ratio. The man who helped me order was friendly and it was very clean inside. I will definitely be back for more! read more

Patty's Tamales - Cheese & peppers and red chicken. - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

For starters i don't know if they judge upon appearance but it says their tamales are 2 dollars per one. My boyfriend drove 30 min out of his way to get me tamales for the holidays. He bought 8 of them which is 16 plus tax they charged him 40 dollars. That didn't bother me as much as this.. I had a corn and raisin tamale it was very good. I ended up eating a 2nd one and there was a man's hair in it. Absolutely awful. I ended up throwing up because at this point i assume the kitchen is not sanitary especially since this location is not in a good part of town. read more

Tamales are amazing but when did they start charging a service fee for paying cash and it not posted anywhere in the store . I have been coming here for years due to the great tasting tamales but even with the prices increasing every year ... the tamales are $45.00 a dozen now ... might have to look some where else to go ... Sorry Patty read more

I loveee their tamales! So sad the location closest to me burned down :') I'll drive to the next one specifically to get some tamales they're my favourite in all of vegas read more

Delicious tamales. Easy in and out. Friendly service. I enjoyed. The non spicy rojo chicken tamales the most as I can't handle spice. The folks that ate the spicy green and spicy pork tamales said they were fantastic too. read more

Great Tamales!! No English by the lady in the establishment which is frustrating but WOW the Tamales are GOOD read more

Am I nitpicking because I want fruit tamales? The service was sweet and friendly with genuine smiles! The store is super super clean. I had a cheese and pepper tamale and I loved it. I'm a tamale girl and I miss my regular spots in Chicago. This is the first (because del taco that doesn't count) I've had since we moved here. To tell the truth, I've been spying the Patty's Tamales sign with eager anticipation saving them for a fix on a hard day. Today after walking out of another eating establishment fifty feet away (couldn't get their attention to order?) I was ready and I was not at all disappointed. I will be back. read more

Great spot for tamales but you have to get here at a good time. I came later on in the evening and there was only one type of tamale available. Small interior but service is friendly. read more

The tamale was way too salty...not even edible. I've only been there once (that was enough) and maybe I just got a bad batch.

I had been craving tamales for a few weeks prior to visiting Patty's Tamales. I just wanted tamales and not necessarily a full sit down dining experience. That is where it is nice to have a place like Patty's. You couldn't sit down even if you wanted to. There are no tables or chairs here. It is simply a store with a counter and a kitchen. And they make one type of food - tamales. They have a few different versions but the menu remains small. I ordered two tamales. One red pork and one green chicken. Both are listed as spicy. He gentleman working the store was quick to package them up and send me on my way. I made the mistake of trying to eat one on the road. It was hot and I was hungry. But between the paper wrapper and the corn husk, it was damn near impossible to open one handed. So I just fought the hunger and waited til I got home. I tried the pork first. It was indeed spicy. I didn't really notice it at first. And then the hiccups started. I guess it was spicy after all. It was also very oily. It took a napkin and a half to clean my hands and that was just from trying to open the dang thing. The chicken, by comparison, was a little less spice and much less oily. What I can say for both on a positive note, they both had good flavor. Flavor aside, these tamales seems a bit on the small side. Very flat and kind of dense. By no means the worst I've had but also not the best. I expected more from a place that specializes in just one kind of food. They did the trick, though, and staved off the craving. At least for a little while. read more

All homemade tamales, green chicken has a nice little spice to it, prices seemed to have gone up however

Utterly expensive. Drove out of the way knowing that it was too far. Definitely, not worth the hype.

Excellent food! Tamales are delicious every time! Its alwa nice and clean whenever i go

I absolutely love the tamales here. I've been going here for years. Even though it's better to drive for me it's worth it without a doubt. I highly recommend them read more

The dry tamales aren't worth the additional fees they add on. With so much good Mexican food on the East Side of Las Vegas, I would recommend going elsewhere. read more

What year was the best customer service I've ever had in my life tamales were awesome. It was very very great. Javier was great.

They are wonderful delightful staff. So delicious great Tamales. I give this company 10 stars very friendly

Awesome taste great and a huge variety of tamales, very good service. I've been getting them for months and have never been disappointed

Según muy mexicano, atendido por una cubana miy grosera, comiendo y hablando con la boca llena, despacha sin lavarse las manos despues de tocar el dinero. Horribe!!! read more

the service was not good, they were rude and dismissive. the food wasn't the best either, the meat was dry and overpriced for what your getting. The ambiance didn't look clean there wasn't anywhere to sit, they were rushing for us to go. read more

I work graveyard and I love that they open at 8am! I can have tamales for my dinner before bed!

My company told me to get some tamales from this place we had a patient that raved about it so I went I ordered I ordered 1dozen and then I ordered two of the special tamales. The total prior to taxes was $40ish . Total after taxes was $67 The person that rang me up said that they charge me tax per tamale normally when you order something you get charged per the total order... they seem like they would've been good tamales but my company was not paying $67 for 15 tamales. The gentleman with the veneers was nice when I first paid but when I told him about my jobs issues with the math he was very short fused, which is understandable. I will say 8 o'clock in the morning. The tamales are piping hot and there was no line.. maybe one day I'll be on this side of town and I'll buy one tamale and try it for myself. read more

Mood - Tamales After a long day of hunting for gifts - Tamales were on the mind. With the holiday season being upon us it was in our best interest to call around to find out who was open. Upon entering was greeted with great customer service. I guess other people had the same idea on their mind re: tamales as the gentleman behind the counter let us know everything was out except for the Pollo Verde. So with that being said it was chosen and decided. These tamales were wonderful. Everything was cooked to perfection. Now I will admit he did warn us and say it was spicy. My son, loves spice and decided to accept the challenge. You can tell the food was cooked with great ingredients. And yes spicy it was. Interior is not designed for sit in. You walk up to the counter, place your order, and get your food to go. We were given a plate and utensils to be able to eat in the car for the ride home. Staff were wearing masks to ensure good ol Covid safety. Would most def recommend - pricing was fair for the quality of the food. Customer service was on point and very hospitable. I cant wait to go back at an earlier time or place and order to try their other varieties. Location is Sahara/Nellis - ample parking read more

I was asked by a Mexicana friend who comes from East Palo Alto where to find the best tamales in Las Vegas. Homegirl is from EPA (East Palo Alto), so the tamales needed to be legit. ¡Sin duda es en casa de Patty! There's only tamales here and they are good sized. My favorite is the savory and sweet tamales filled with slow-cooked chicken in spicy green sauce. Just canned sodas and water available. It's only carry out at this location. I've never been to the one by UNLV, but I hear there's tables. If you're getting more than a dozen, you'd better call ahead. read more

No Me Gusta FYI this cheese doesn't melt! The masa is decent but this overall tamale is a no go for me. Not so spicy cheese tamale with thick cheese chunks definitely did not hit the spot. $4.35 + $1.00 card fee Sometimes once is just enough! read more

This was my first time trying the food in this shop. When you walk in its a pretty simple shop, nothing to fancy. The menu was simple and straight to the point. A half dozen tamales cost $13.50, I purchased that and two extra tamales on the side so we can try all of the flavors they had. After I ordered the food, it was quickly put together in bags. The tamales are all in large pots steaming and waiting for purchase. They smelled so good I was excited. We brought them home and opened them up and started eating. My girlfriend only ate one, I almost finished two and my son finished two. The flavors weren't bad, not the best. The reason why I gave this 3 stars is because there was so much masa compared to the meat actually inside that I had to cut it all up so I didn't eat all masa. The spicy ones were pretty spicy and that flavor was pretty good but like I said, just not enough meat and too much masa. After we were done eating I instantly felt sick and very nauseous. My girlfriend started feeling sick an hour or so later and I am still dying today with the worst stomach pains. Maybe they were sitting in the pots too long, maybe its an ingredient that they use but I don't think we will be coming back. read more

This is a solid tamale place. My favorite is the cheese tamale, full of flavor and moist. Unfortunately the pork and chicken tamales were dry to me, not quite as flavorful. I'll definitely be coming back as service is pretty quick too. I would suggest bringing cash versus a card. read more

Tamales are pretty good but theyre raising their prices like crazy. You're telling me paying almost $50 for a dozen tamales is justified? I've been coming here for a while but with the prices I doubt I'll be back anytime soon. read more

Hmm. Ive been here 2 times already and ordered the same kind of tamales. Spicy chicken with green sauce. The first time around my tamales were really good. And moist. Which is why I chose to come back a second time. But this time my tamales were very dry. Dont get me wrong. They still tasted very good. Just very dry. Lol. Overall. Its a gamble between moist and dry tamales. But the taste seems to be consistent. If they would get it right all the time. Then I wouldn't mind giving this place a 5 star review! read more

Patty's tamales are the best tamales I've had in ages possibly ever! Each one is a very nice size and stuffed full of ingredients whether it is the chicken Verde, chicken Roja, pork, or cheese and green chile, they are absolutely delicious. You can tell they are made with love and care. I'm so happy that I turned my head to the right, and saw them far back in the parking lot across the street from Unlv on Maryland Parkway. We made an immediate right and will be back again very soon! Highly recommend! read more

First time customer. I ordered pork and chicken tamales to try out. Pork is okay and little spicy but the chicken is a bit dry. The sauce is good and tasty. But the kicker for me was the price $12.75 for 3 tamales (tax included). One tamales doesn't even go around your mouth because they are small. Not worth the price for what it is. I asked if they would be running a special price for each dozen tamales for Xmas and the guy just looked at me like I'm crazy and with a stern NO for an answer. He needs to get his blood pressure checked. Seriously. read more

I had just been to the salon next door and decided to stop in to buy some tamales. A woman who had been in the Salon with me was purchasing some tamales too and had stated that the last time she purchased some the tamales were oily or greasy. I figured she was possibly mistaken because I've never had oily tamales. She was right. These were almost slimy they were so oily. I got the red chicken and the cheese with peppers. The cheese with peppers wasn't oily but it had looked like they stuffed to mozzarella cheese sticks down in with the peppers and they never melted. (See pic) They were way over priced too. I paid $32 for a dozen tamales and 1 soda. I will not be returning here. I'd rather find a local person who makes them and sells them out of their trunk. read more

They charge you hidden tips and don't give you a detailed receipt of what you were charged. Ordered the same exact thing three days apart for the same listed price using the same card and the amount was different. The clerk charges whatever he/she feels like adding on as a tip. read more

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE !!! Couldn't even finish my sentence without the lil guy interrupting and being rude !

They were not lying when someone said that they will "add their own tip" or over charge you. I bought two tamales and they tried to tell me my total was 12 and some change and when I questioned it and pulled out my calculator they told me it was a $5 cc charge fee. I knew that was something they made up bc no place charges that much for a cc fee so I told them no that's not right. The guy then says that they charge me for one more and he refunded me for the one they overcharged me for. Now imagine if I didn't say anything... almost $13 for tamales is crazy.. I won't be going back read more

At first glance, I was hesitant to go in because the window outside said "catering restaurant". So I went on Google to see photos of the menu. I just decided to go for it. I went in and ordered 2 of EVERYTHING! Red Chicken (not Spicy) Green Chicken (spicy) Cheese with Peppers (spicy) Red Pork (spicy) and dessert tamales Pineapple and Strawberry (Strawberry was better). Cost me about 35 bucks for about 12 tamales. I'm glad I went there. I will have enough to last me all week.  I did not find them greasy as some people mentioned and  I was stuffed after eating just 2!! They have some weight and are messy!! (steam and wrappers).I can't give it a 5 cuz ... well, it's just tamales. read more

I was very disappointed with the tamales at this place, it's hard to find good tamales in town.

First of all, the customer service is amazing here! The man was super sweet (and I regret not getting his name now haha) and remembered my mom who had come the day prior with my dad. And he remembered that, and even thanked her for coming back. Now the food: delicious! As soon as you walk in, you can smell the tamales and they smelled AMAZING. I got a dozen tamales: 4 of the spicy pork and 8 of the non spicy chicken. It was super good and I highly recommend coming here! I like how easy and straightforward it was to order, nothing too crazy or complex. If you're looking for some delicious tamales, you should definitely come here! I was so excited to eat the tamales that I unfortunately did not get pictures, but I'll remember to next time! read more
