Hot Tamale Mexican Grill & Bar

My wife and I are regulars at Hot Tamale. We eat there twice a month. The service is always reliable and fast, whether we eat there or order takeout. The prices are good and the servings generous. The atmosphere is welcoming.

Good food, big drinks. A little loud, but that's fine. No problem with the service.

Visited the restaurant with friends. Service was very slow. We asked our server about the slow service and was told she was a fill in as the owner was getting married and the staff was invited to the wedding. We waited forever for our drinks and was charged for a drink we never received. When we finally got our food order only 3 out of 4 meals were delivered but 2 of them were not what we ordered. We waited longer to get the correct order. My burrito was fair and the two sides were minuscule portions. The server was apologetic but overwhelmed. I blame the owner for opening knowing they were understaffed. Plus the restaurant was stuffy as the air conditioning was not turned on. I will never return.

Cannot express how bad this place is. Slow horrific service. Low quality food. Not worth the effort of continuing to write this.

Wings seemed to be overcooked so they were dry and burger also overcooked. Pretty disappointed since we were told their wings were great.

We are OBSESSED with this place! Our whole family stopped in for dinner, and let me tell you—it was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we walked in, the vibes were warm and welcoming, and the food? Next level! The fajitas came out sizzling hot, packed with bold, fresh flavors that hit all the right notes. Every bite was a flavor explosion! Even the kids’ meals were impressive—generous portions, great taste, and left our little food critics smiling from ear to ear. But the real star? The Tex-Mex. Hands down the best we’ve ever had. Perfectly seasoned, rich, and absolutely unforgettable. We’re already planning our next visit!

The place smells bad. I didn't like the service and I didn't like the food. I won't be returning to this place.

Hit or miss but mostly hit w/the food. Good service is inconsistent. Quiet in dining area. Loud in the bar area. Dine in the dining area if you want to chat.
