Tamales Monarca

The best tamales I've found in Kansas. I drive from Abilene Kansas to get their tamales. The green chicken ones are the best and with a nice spice!

Best tamales, flavor, consistency, spiciness, price. Friendly family-like service. The dining area could use a painting on the wall, but the tamales are top notch either way. We travel here on purpose for the tamales.

I was craving some tamales today so I searched "tamales near me" and this place popped up. As soon as I walked in I was greeted very kindly by the lady at the front. I got 3 of their pork tamales and 3 cheese tamales to share with my boyfriend. And they were DELICIOUS. If you like some spice I reccomend the cheese tamales, if you don't the pork ones weren't very spicy but very tasty. I plan on going to that spot more now! Definitely a hidden gem here in town. Totally reccomend.

Tamales are absolutely amazing. We have ordered many many times and have given some as gifts to friends in Kansas City and other places who keep having us come back and get them more. The owners are very very nice and this customer service is great I recommend you call ahead of time if you're getting orders by the Dozen or so to let them know and make sure that they have enough.

Portion size was adequate for my appetite. The food tasted great and the only place get tamales.
