Overpriced small quantities. OK flavor would’ve got better food if I just would’ve went to a food truck. I will not be going there again. Cost too much. I was still hungry after eating the small portion.

So good ?My partner and I were dying to try Farm Market but we hadn't found the time to drive over during their limited lunch hours. Finally we were in the area and it was lunchtime. We passed it. It dawned on us. And then I U-turned faster than... uh... faster than I ate these tamales. (Fast.)We had the bean tamales and cheese tamales and needless to say, we weren't disappointed. The care that the chef takes with her food is so evident. And it was great to have two vegetarian options!If you're looking for a diner vibe, this won't be for you. But if you're looking for great food, yes, it IS for you!Please excuse my low-quality photo, I'm hoping to update it soon.Vegetarian options: A couple of vegetarian options
Never open. Have tried to come by several times and they are always closed. Needs to be better clarification on when they are open

Best tamales that we’ve ever had. Highly recommend. The verde sauce is great too. We tried the chicken, pork, and beef tamales. The beef were made fresh for us and were the favorite. Pico de gallo was also great. Superior service. Definitely found our go-to place for Mexican food.
Best tamales around. When I was young, my father's side of the family would get together every Holidays to kill a pig, making tamales, chicharrónes & carnitas, using the entire pig in the process, including making chorizo mexicano. Knowing what Northern Mexican/ Tejano tamales should taste like, yeah, these are legit. And the owner is so cool, she's worth the visit alone. Her stories & friendly service. She's like your older tia, not your mom's sister, more like your abuela or 1 of her sisters.

I'm from S. Texas where there is a small chain that specializes in tamales. Delia's is a known commodity in S. Texas and while mainly found in the Rio Grande Valley, they extend as far north as San Antonio. I've been in Lexington for some time and many people talked about this place, so I went in with the highest of hopes. First thing, if you are from Texas, they are EXPENSIVE. At four dollars a tamale you'd expect these to be the best ever. When I mentioned that I was from S. Texas the person behind the counter said that I'm probably used to tamales for a dollar a piece, however those are cheap and hers were the best. Again, I went into this with the highest of hopes, however everything about this was disappointing to me. The tamales were either rushed to where the ingredients in the masa weren't mixed properly, or I don't know what. Either way if you are from Texas and are used to the local tamales that we would get down there, skip this place as they're overrated and expensive for no other reason than they are one of the few places in town you can actually get tamales. From the price, to the atmosphere (there was no table service and I had to wait 10 minutes before they could even take my order as there was only one person working there at the time), to the actual food, this was nothing but a disappointment.

Food and menu very limited and we had to make our own dish, not worth the money. VERY expensive for a restaurant that the food came in plastic cups.

Only a few items available on a handwritten piece of paper and only offered tacos 4/$16 and you had to put it all together yourself. Out of half the items listed.

A charming place with the best tamales in town.. Another entree like tacos is always offered. A dessert and several dips, salsas, and Mexican sodas offered. One feels like you are eating with your Hispanic sister or cousin.As a bonus, the owner makes beautiful clothing and other textiles.The owner conveys the heart she feels to delight customers; also to lift the day for each and every one.Bring cash! Owner(s) choose to use money wisely which includes not wasting it on credit card feesGrateful this home place is here.
