Do not order their catering you will get burned 100 times over. Honestly! They will show up late and/or the wrong place, and they will forget food. In our case she and her team showed up over an hour late in open toed shoes without the main entrees. No tamales just chips and rice. This of course will all be blamed on you even when you have a contract in place with no refund. Please please trust me and do not order their catering. We supported Angie when she was still in her driveway. The tamales are good, but this was unforgivable.
Edit: I'm sorry you don't remember me, but I'd still like a refund lol.

We have been eating Angie‘a food for a long time! Some of the best tamales around! I’m shocked at some of the reviews, because she has great food! She also supports schools and students who may be hungry!
If you have a problem with her food, go to her first. I’m sure she will make it right before you need to post a negative review.
My school colleagues loved the tamales on rice during our potluck on Thursday! Thank you Angie for the delicious food and excellent service!!
Love the enchiladas, rice and beans. I usually get a 8oz salsa to go because it’s so good! Her smoked chicken is the best but not always available.

I ordered delivery, and my order was fried gizzards, whole pinto beans, and Mac n cheese. I was happy to find that I could get delivery from here. I heard fave reviews on this place. I liked the gizzards, but I wish they were in a box to keep them crispy. The bag traps in the moisture. The pinto beans were perfect. The mac n cheese is a bit dry. I prefer a more creamy style, but it was cheesy. I definitely will be ordering again. Lots to try on the menu.

Hot Tamale Catering packs a lot of flavor in what they make. To start their tamales are full of meat which is great, but I prefer a nice blend of masa and meat. The meat in the tamales are tasty and the right level of spicy. The salsa in the containers that accompanied the tamales was thick and very tasty. Next, the chicken liver and gizzards were delicious, and reasonable priced. They have plenty of dishes and sides to choose from. Fir desserts, the strawberry cake was one of the best cakes I have had in Iowa. On the other hand, the lemon was a bit dry and expected more. Also, the dining area is spacious and is clean. Lastly, the service was warm, superb and genuine. A this to your list as places to visit.

The Food is The Best! The Attitude and Friendly staff makes going there a Joy. The Fried Chicken is The BEST and BIGGEST I have ever seen Anywhere in Des Moines or other places. And you'll Never Taste Better Mac & Cheese.
Make sure you check out HOT TAMALE It's where the old Dahl's used to be It's inside the Cash Saver she's got the restaurant inside for sit down @ 4121 Fleur Dr, Des Moines, IA 50321 . We got with Angie to get catering for a party we hosted. enchiladas, tamales, Pico, cucumber avocado salsa, churros, Apple chimmy's, rice and assorted sauces. Delivery was on time it was warm and the service was top notch. Will be using again support small business she serves other stuff too.
Kid-friendliness: Angie offers other thing that kids would like hamburgers for ice thing so
Wheelchair accessibility: Inside the old dolls it is handicap accessible as it's all in one pour in there no steps in the doors are plenty wide enough
Went in a little after 7:00 PM tonight and everything was so fresh, ordered some pork and chicken tamales, both very good. Ordered a piece of strawberry and a piece of lemon cake. Both were very good.
