Excellent birria tacos and tostadas, they were helpful with allergy-related questions. The ingredients they use are from their garden or local farms and very fresh. Definitely coming back.

Teresita’s has quickly become my favorite lunch spot while in the office. I cannot say enough good things about it, the only negative I have is that I crave their enchiladas so bad on Mondays (they’re closed ?)

Just moved here from GA, and was craving some good delicious tamales with a coffee, so googled this place and I went with some reviews being positive.Not too bad . The rajas con queso could use more cheese it’s all rajas de chile verde. The salsa verde con pollo have no flavor to dry for my liking. Im mexican so i expect better when it comes to tamales. Can’t judge the pork because i don’t eat pork, but I’ll let my husband be the judge for those.Would I go back not sure i got mixed feelings about it.

My family owns a tamale restaurant in Detroit. When I heard this place charges $30 a dozen, I can't believe people are paying for these small Tamales! Ridiculous. We only charge $16. I guess because it's Huntsville, they're counting on the gueritos to pay these prices! ?‍♀️?

I think, after trying this truck 3 times, I've realized these tamales just aren't for me. I wanted to like them so terribly because they look delicious, the folks running the business seem lovely, and EVERYONE raves about them. But I can't write it off as a bad batch or anything after trying so many times.The first time was a couple years ago right after the truck got its start. It visited a neighborhood in the OXR area and I made the drive over to try because I wanted to see what everyone was raving about. It was so popular and, as a result of being new, fairly slow -- and I wound up waiting in line for over an hour. I didn't like the tamales I got very much, but I wrote it off as it being the tail end of service and them being run ragged from the insane lines.The second time, my order was beyond messed up and I didn't realize until I'd gotten home and it was too late to get it fixed. The only thing that was right was my corn in a cup...much of which spilled in the plastic bag because the lid wasn't attached properly. Argh.Finally had some luck at a truly solid go of it at the Piper and Leaf Maker's Market a week or so ago. My parents and I wanted to share a light lunch and so we got a tamale combo to share. And, once again, it didn't do much for me. All three times, I've found the tamales fairly dry and, while not flavorless, not exactly bursting with flavor, either.Here are some observations:These are the more traditional style of tamale (as opposed to Delta hot tamales, which my mom loves), and like I said, I found them pretty dry on all my attempts. This is improved some by the addition of salsa or queso, but these are all added costs (fairly high ones for the meager amount you get - think fast food ketchup sized cup), and it's also easy to forget to order them. It would be nice if a combo came with your choice of at least one. The salsas, both red and green, have vibrant flavors and some kick.The rice and beans are standard but unobjectionable.They do usually have some vegetarian options, which is nice. I've tried the pork, chicken, and rajas (veggie) tamales. The best of the three, to me, is the pork -- it is faintly spicy and more moist, imo. But FWIW my parents like the chicken more, so who can really say?What I HAVE enjoyed has been the esquite (corn in a cup). It's been refreshing, with a pleasant texture and combination of flavors. I'd order it again. I've also enjoyed the pleasant service I've received each visit.In more recent times, they've expanded to doing dishes other than tamales: tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc. They also sometimes offer dessert/sweet tamales, like pineapple or pumpkin. All of this sounds intriguing and I'd be willing to try it in the future.If more traditional tamales are your jam, then by all means give this nice local business a try. I truly think the problem is more a me problem than a them problem, but that's just my experience.

Ordered 5 tamales for a road trip back to AZ to eat for bfast and dinner… 5 tamales and 1 extra sauce… asked for more they wanted to charge me. They gave me one small green and one small red… disappointed..should get an extra portion for every tamale to pour over..Red salsa for chicken ?a la verga!!
