Customer Reviews
Tamales Aztala’s food is absolutely amazing!!! We ordered two taco boxes, one steak, half chorizo, and half chicken and they were all wonderful. The jalapeños are so spicy which I loved, and we also ordered two fried dough and one order of churros. With one order of churros you get four which are about a foot long each. They’re huge and they taste so delicious. This was my first time and I will definitely be going here often and recommending them so highly. To top it off the staff was so friendly and respectful! We devoured the tacos, so I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a picture of the fantastically presented taco boxes, but here’s one of my boys loving the churros.
Idk if I’ve had better Tamale’s anywhere…. These are just SO GOOD!!!!! (Pork, green sauce) They have a bit of a kick if you are not prepared. It’s subtle and perfectly balanced. I may have a new addiction…. Breakfast here is awesome as well! Love that I can get an afternoon breakfast sandwich :). First time I came they were sold out of tamales. Breakfast was great! BEC and Horchata for the win. Get here fast if you want tamale delicious. They sell out often as they are just so delicious!
I tried to get something good to eat but it wasn't around According to the lady at the Laundromat across the street, this is a food truck that is here at the Willimantic Farmers Market on Saturdays 8am to 12pm. Maybe next time.
I have been looking for tamales for 6 years, since I moved away from Chicago. This is the first place I have found in East / Central Connecticut that has a large selection, including Oaxaqueño style, which are only offered on weekends (which is traditional). They were sold out of those by 5pm on Saturday, so I ordered 2 green pork, one mole pork, and one sweet on corn husk. They gave me 2 jalapeno cheese, for free, and those were the best! They were all large and had great flavor, but could have used more meat. I’m also half way through the sweet one and haven’t found any raisins. Service was awesome, hours are plentiful, food was tasty and filling. I’m excited to try other items.
Hands down, this is the best Mexican street food in town! Great portions, mouth watering flavor, and they're just wicked nice! I would say that this Food Truck is a local jem, and not one you should miss! These folks will fill your heart and your belly!
