Came here because of the reviews. But man I was super disappointed. The tamales were super mid. And a dozen for $30 is crazy as hell. I’m not saying they were disgusting but the flavor definitely wasn’t worth the price. Super nice people though

Best damn tamales I’ve had since 2010 San Francisco California Bay Area-… and I’m coming all the way from the Southside— it’s me little treat when I’m feeling down. I always grab a dozen and a couple for my son he’s vegan.

I pass by the tamale lady every day and I believe she closed down her shop since they’re moving locations. Going East on Cermak I saw a new storefront with the tamale lady logo. I don’t see any updates online but I’m sure that explains why they haven’t been selling.
On Saturday, January 25, around 7:30, I stopped by to buy tamales, hoping to find the same vendor. Instead, I encountered a different lady and a man. When I asked if they were the same ones selling tamales at that spot, they confirmed it. I decided to purchase them, but they were disappointing—lacking the original recipe and flavor, with an overwhelming amount of oregano. I paid $12 for six tamales. Does anyone know what happened to the original vendor? Be cautious when buying tamales from this place.

I had my first authentic tamale in my life today my co-workers were kind enough to share and then I ordered my own later on in the day and I will definitely be ordering first thing in the morning I have never had anything that was jalapeno before have always been nervous about I don't really do spicy food but those Jalapeno's was so excellent and also the red one I am looking forward to the return on tomorrow thank you Miss tamale lady👍😊 I highly recommend this spot to get your 100% authentic. Tamales😊‼️‼️

So glad I found you today, I didn’t want spicy tamales but I tried them anyway since that’s all you had and they were soooo good I wanted to get off the expressway and turn around because I should’ve bought 10-20 but I only got 3 ? and I live all the way off 75th stony island. This was my first time buying and my hunt for good authentic tamales is over I’ll be coming back for a lot more so take care of yourself don’t go nowhere I need you in tip top health.??? please try the chicken green verdes not spicy I’ll comment here ahead of time when I’m coming
$30 for a dozen! Not worth it
