    Tommy Bowl
    Kiawatha F.

    Dear Tommy Tamale. Good God !!!! That Tommy Bowl is out of this world . It's the perfect combination of everything I love. Those is now my new favorite dish. This is my first time having it, and it sure won't be my last. OMG!!! If you haven't eaten here, you're missing out. Thank you for phenomenal food.

    Tamale Pie with Fritos. Amazing!

    Tamale bowl with Fritos and chili! It was delish but make note you can share this. Includes two tamales of your choice. Everyone so nice and very helpful.

    This is my second visit to Tommy tamale. Again pleased with my visit location was slow with about 3 people in it. Walked up to the counter and ordered my frito tamale bowl. I don't cone here often because the food would make me gain 300lbs so I try to go on special occasions. I thought with all the inflation that the bowls would cost like 15 bucks due to going to the hamburger joints and paying an arm and a leg for a combo now, but it was only 10.99 for a bowl which was great. Place is good in a snap. location is always clean and not far from my apartment. Keep up to good service and food.

    Food is great. Highly recommend the tamale bowl. Habanero pork tamale is my favorite. They sell frozen tamales by the 6 pack. Great place... highly recommend if you're looking for tamales ( good meat to masa ratio ).

    Online ordering was convenient and they accept Google Pay. Order was ready when I reached the restaurant and the pick up was a breeze. As I got to my car, an employee ran over with part of my order that was in a second bag. After reaching home I found that the order missed the salsa that I paid extra for. Well, a few misses from an order fulfillment standpoint. I will give this aspect only 2 stars. Lesson learnt to check the order before leaving. Now the food. The Tommy bowl with the habanero pork tamale and beef tamale was out of the world. This will be my go to place for a tasty bowl. The frozen tamales come with heating instructions and I'm yet to try them. The menu has other interesting options and I can't wait to try them. The restaurant has been on my bookmark for a while now and I'm glad I finally tried it. Pricing : Moderate Will I return : Oh yeah! But I will check my to-go order ;) Rating : 5 stars for the food. Took away 1 star for the missed salsa that was paid.

    If you are craving for Tamales, this is a perfect place. They have variety of vegetarian and non- vegetarian tamales, great sides and salsas. This place is BYOB in case you are looking for one. They could have longer hours to attract more people for dinner . We have been to Grapevine location many times and recently tried one in Coppell.

    It's most certainly a dive, and that in itself is not a bad thing. The lunch fajitas are…read moresuspiciously cheap, if I'm not mistaken $10. Now, that does leave a lot of unanswered questions, but I'll just assume everything is above board. Fajita vegetables and proteins come out smoldering on a plancha, can't really complain about that. As others have mentioned the chips are no longer made in house, and as a result have the kind of consistency you might expect from bagged tortilla chips. The inside is rather chaotic and could use renovations, however given the rock bottom prices, I suspect you can't have it both ways. Personally I would rather pay more and dine at Lupe's or Animia's, but that's not to say that Ole's is lacking. It serves a unique purpose as the spot you take your rather frugal acquittances or friends to, or as a destination when you already know you're picking up the tab for a large group and are not feeling very spendy. That being said I always default to the fajitas here, the other menu items are not at all bad, just not as strong and lack the same value proposition.

    This is literally the closest restaurant to our house. The reviews aren't blowing me away, but it…read moreis much bigger and quarter on the inside than the smalll strip mall location may make it appear. There is a side bar, that has BINGO on Wed, and lots of happy hour specials on other days. We were there for lunch, they have very reasonable prices for the lunch menu, and about 10 different selections. I had the hard taco, with 2 enchiladas -one beef and one cheese. They were pretty good, and who could even quibble with the quality if lunch was $9. Service was pretty quick and nice. Overall a good place to have in the 'hood in a clutch!
