Tamale Lady is a hidden gem offering flavorful tamales that are worth the price. The green chicken tamales are a hit, and the red ones have a hint of sweetness. The tamales de Rajas and champurrado are highly recommended. The restaurant has recently opened a spacious storefront with fast and friendly service, allowing customers to dine in or carry out. The portions are generous, with the Oaxaqueño Tamal being notably large—about four tamales in one for $6.06—and just as delicious as the regular tamales. The champurrado is authentic and pairs perfectly with the tamales. The restaurant accepts Zelle, and cash is also accepted, with ATMs nearby. Visitors should not miss these flavorful tamales and arroz con leche!
