Bad. Even the hot sauce they sell doesn't have fresh ingredients. Just "Carolina reaper powder". Super lame. Don't eat here. The quesadilla was disgusting. read more

I've been here twice and ordered the tamale bowl both times. The bowl is something like a cross between a Chipotle bowl and enchiladas. I had the Pork and Chicken tamales with mine. The tamales are the best I've had and the store inside is clean and inviting. They have excellent service and their prices are competitive. All in all a well priced and well run restaurant. Come if you want good portions at a good price or if you just love tamales. Decor: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 **Overall: 4/5, Would Recommend. ** read more

Delicious food, amazing service! Tamale pie is what I had and it sure didn't disappoint, very filling. Can't wait to try tamales by themselves, will definitely be getting holiday tamales from them. The owner truly cares about his customers and went out of his way to introduce himself and make us feel welcome. You just don't see that much anymore and it was really nice. read more

Came in at about 3 today. Wasn't busy in the dining area but a lot of Togo orders. I'm so excited about this place being in coppell, we need something a little different. It's so good too. I had a 2 tamale plate with rice and charro beans. The habanero chicken tamale is so good. Also had a chicken quesadilla that was really good too. The decor is very cool with a day of the dead theme, and the owner Tommy is really nice. He has introduced himself to everyone and has chatted with them for a min. read more

It's delicious. Good portions. Great tamales. I definitely recommend. Dessert tamales are different but good as well.

It's sad hoe HAPPY this tamale bowl makes me! The whole place is awesome. I also got the chis and salsa and queso and it's all incredible!! Also, it's a great place to get homemade salsas and stuff. They have a little store inside. It must have been the first time for other patrons as well b/c i heard "wow, they have a little store also" from several others. Anyway, stop whatever you're doing and go to Tommy Tamale.... you won't regret it!!! read more

Tommy Tamale - Tamale Bowl... just amazing! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Coppell, Texas

Pretty decent food, it is a TexMex take on Mexican so quite queso heavy and more of a Cheat Meal kind of spot. Like an upscale Taco Bell. Very nice staff and super clean facility. Quick in and out with food. read more

Enjoying my 2 tamales ,rice and beans ! All is fresh and delicious. Seems they are very talented in making a variety of tamales and sure do know how to make big tamales so either come hungry or be prepared to take home leftovers read more

I absolutely love this place! I have the frito bowl with chicken and I was so full! I still had food remaining!

Tasty as f--k! The tamale bowl was crazy...can't wait to go back and try the tamale burrito and tamale pie. While they're at it, maybe they can try something like deep fried tamales? Batter them up, deep fry and serve. Now THAT would be off the hook! read more

So tasty! Came in at 130pm and it was no busy at all. They even had vegan tamales for my sister. I had their habanero pork and I'd say they were medium spice. Salsa's are homemade and great! A salsa verse, and a red with tomatillos. They also have a milder red salsa that comes with your meal. I had the tamale pie, with Fritos, chili, queso, and a tamale on top. Good for one person. read more

The food is always consistent and delicious ! It's perfect for people with celiac disease! the nachos are so cheesy and amazing. They give you the option of shredded cheese vs queso and to me that's crucial! The staff is always so sweet and the chefs will sometimes pop their heads through the window and smile! The atmosphere is CLEAN, positive, and cute! I love everything about this place every time I go! read more

We have been going to the Tommy Tamale in Grapevine for a while now and were very excited to hear that one was opening in Coppell. We couldn't make it for the grand opening but were able to make it on day 2. As usual the food was awesome, exactly like in Grapevine. The new crew was friendly and the din in n GB room is very spacious. If you've never tried these tamales stop reading this review and head to one of their locations NOW! if they are closed just wait patiently by the door and wait until they open.....you won't be disappointed. read more

If you're looking for a light meal, this is NOT the place to come. If you love tamales, chili and cheese, this IS the place to be. Unfortunately my mind makes good ,healthy decisions but my stomach just felt like being a rebel on a Friday night. My wife and I ordered a tamale pie( frito pie and all its essentials + 2 habanero pork tamales on top) and a steak quesadilla. For a few bucks more, you can make both large. We thought why not, we were hungry. By the beverage station are the two canisters of hot sauce, one is green- tastes like standard tamatito salsa and the other a red tangy salsa. The tang is unique, I've never had salsa roja like this before. Food came out and first thing I thought was "oh man, should have just stuck with the regular size." Quesadilla was piping hot oozing with cheese and good chunks of steak. The frito pie and tamale were on the heavy side, fatty, rich but definitely worth the spurge if you have been eating salads all week. Definitely a place worth going visiting. read more

First time visiting Tommy Tamale. The staff was incredibly helpful with explaining the different tamales and menu. My husband and I got the pork, pork habanero and hatch pork. All were delicious but our favorite was the pork. The rice and charro beans were tasty as well. We bought some frozen tamales to take home till we visit again. Highly recommend Tommy Tamale. You won't be disappointed. read more

If you are reading this you must come try Tommy Bowl. Life changing. Think a Mexican Panda Express Bowl, but better! They're fantastic.

Home run. The burrito bowl is insane. Chips are great. Salsas are great. The tamales are terrific and easy to cook at home. Easy to get in and out of. Love this place read more

Hands down the most flavorful of most tamales. The nicest people on the planet with the warmest attitude/atmosphere

Tommy tamales are good, reasonably priced and the cafe gives great service. The tamales could be a bit warmer than room temperature so they dint get cold before you finish your meal. read more

I can't upload my food because it's gone and it was so good! Lol I had Chicken and Pork Tamales! I also had the queso with chips! It was very very clean, that is so important when eating at a restaurant. The cashier was great as well! I'll definitely be back really soon! read more

Stopped here after work, AMAZING flavor!! Had the four tamale plate, they were delicious. The beans and the rice are even better and I usually never eat the side items at restaurant. Ate every bite, will definitely come back. read more

Everything is so good here! The queso is great and not the fake cheese whatsoever. The tamales are so yummy with lots of options to choose from and the service is very prompt. Would highly recommend to anyone. read more

Loved everything we ordered! Tried several different types of Tamales, refried beans, charro beans & rice. All of their salsas were great (hot!) Employees were super friendly, and the place was very clean. Will be back for sure! read more

OMG!!! The flavor in these tamales is beyond fantastic!! So I'm a hardcore vegetarian and this place is super vegetarian friendly! The beans and masa are all vegetarian, lard free and gluten free without compromising on the flavor! The black bean and Monterey jack tamales was soooooo good. The grilled burrito with refried beans was also fantastic. Felt like I could eat 4 more tamales because they were so good! The house made salsas were fantastic! Spicy and so flavorful!! This is definitely going to a go to spot for us. Not only would I highly recommend it, but would be back soon!! It's also a BYOB place so bring a 6 pack and just enjoy the ambience. The staff is super friendly and always smiling. So excited I can eat tamales now!! read more

We ate dinner at Tommy Tamales after reading reviews and it lived up to its reputation. The staff explained the menu very well. The service was fast and friendly. The tamales we ordered were moist and delicious! The quesadilla was cooked to perfection. The assortment of sauces was just right. It was our first visit but the first of many. I'd highly recommend this family friendly, tasty tamales hot spot. read more

Very nice customer service. The food was delicious. We don't have anything like this in Colorado so this was truly a treat!

We're building a new house nearby and have been seeing the word tamale on the building and anticipating the opening. We made it a point to head this way to check on the house and eat tamales for lunch. I thought the customer service was excellent, since we had never been to Tommy Tamale (even the Grapevine location which seems wildly popular), they gave us a complete walk-though of the menu and what's most popular. They don't have an overwhelming menu but at the same time it was so hard to pick because it all sounded so good! Hubs and I both ended up getting the tamale plate which comes with 2 or 4 tamales and a side of rice and beans, between the both of us, we got all six of their flavors that they serve hot so that we can try them all. Pork, hatch pork, habanero pork, chicken, black bean and beef. I am a huge fan of pork tamales to start so knew that they'd be a favorite. I like spicy and could tell the habanero pork had a little heat but it wasn't overly spicy to me. The chicken and regular pork were my favorites, followed by the beef. Least favorite was the black bean but I am not a huge fan of black beans and think I just prefer my pork tamales. Tip: they do not come with a sauce so be sure to ask for it if you're wanting it. They gave us a side of the chili to try and it was good, however, the salsa they serve on the side was beyond amazing and that did it for me. They have other options like quesadilla, nachos, their take on a Frito pie, and a burrito and you can get any of them with tamales. I am saving this for a future trip but can't lie that it will be awhile before I steer away from just getting the tamale plate. They have even more flavors available in their frozen section to go. They sell them in half or full dozen increments and we'll definitely be checking this out in the future. Last but not least, they don't serve alcohol but it's BYOB! We will most certainly be back and bringing others! read more

We are not from the area and found tommy tamale on yelp based on the already awesome reviews. It was a great place for a fast lunch. I got the black bean and cheese tamale bowl and it was SO good!! The flavors were perfect and tasted authentic. If you're looking for flavorful Mexican food, go to tommy tamale! read more

I was able to eat some tamales at a family gathering today. Very good!! They catered in the chicken and beef. I loved them. Best ive ever eaten. Tasted like high quality filling and ingredients. I really wish I lived closer. I'd be eating them constantly!! read more

Nice variety of tamales. We had the pork and beef, both flavors were very tasty. Nice chips and salsa.

Authentic tamales placed in a burrito bowl with rice queso and meat. All of which is seasoned to perfection for a one of a kind tex-mex combo that may only be experienced at this location. All for less than $10. I came from out of town and saw this spot on yelp and I am glad I gave it a chance. Large portions, cheap and delicious food. Definitely worth trying. read more

The Steak Nachos plate (a serving tray) was grossly oversized. There was not a choice of size. Great for kids or drinking buddies but as a dinner plate?? Really? The Tamale 'Pie' was a frito chili pie and was so soupy with queso, I lost my two tamales somewhere in the mess. Very filling but lacking. Also the metal chairs they use for seating are for LITTLE butts. Not your average adult comfort seat. read more

I don't get the great reviews for this place. I tried every variety of tamale that they sell and found them adequate at best.

Love the location in Grapevine and so glad they have expanded to Coppell. I had the chicken tamales which were awesome, as always.

The best tamales PERIOD! No booze, but don't let that stop you from trying. Looking forward to meeting old college friends at the Coppell location. read more

Super friendly staff, amazing new restaurant and great food. Probably the best steak nachos( with queso) I have ever had. Best tamales on the planet. I been ordering Tommy's Tamales and that award winning salsa with chips for 10 years and they never fail me. read more

Oh my goodness this place is soo yummy!!! I love tamales and usually have homemade ones but WOW these ARE homemade. The charro beans are absolutely delicious. My only complaint was it seemed really expensive which will deter me from going there often but I'll definitely be back when I have a craving! Totally recommend, give this place a try! read more
