I have always been partial to tamales in Beaumont but tamale king is honestly better. I would for sure take these tamales over anything else in the area. The tamale king makes it very easy and price is good. Worth the extra drive over anything in Beaumont

Always looking for good tamales took one bite these where very dry. These tamales aren't for me.

Super friendly staff and AMAZING Tamales! My husband and I are traveling from California back home to Florida and chose a place with good ratings and we were NOT disappointed! Even my dog was begging! It also smelled SOOO amazing inside 10/10 would go again 😁 Marked as a favorite on my Google maps!

Eh, masa was kinda hard and not much meat filling. Tamales only come with pork meat, no other options. Tamale plate looked like Enchiladas/ Frito pie instead. Rice and beans tasted like out of a package and can. Maybe times are tough cause of COVID? 🥺

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jen P · Apr 2017

I was excited to try these tamales because i had heard such great reviews. I ordered a dozen which came in two half dozen bundles. I was surpised to find several moldy looking husks surrounding the slightly dry tamales. To be fair only three of the 12 were affected. The flavor was good and other than the spots of mold, the presentation was nice. My dinner date ordered the tamales covered in chili and cheese which i thought tasted great.
