This is our go to take out place for authentic Mexican style food made with family recipes and TLC. Dave and Paula (owners) are such nice people as well and we enjoy chatting with them while we wait for our order. They have grab and go options and a buffet at peak times with exciting, tasty and changing dishes all the time. I often just put my order in and tell Dave to “just make it Dave’s way” (he’ll make whatever you like) and I’m happy every time. Paula often has new recipes or seasonal treats like apple tamales too. Drop in and load up on some great food and friendly conversation!

Super friendly beyond awesome service tamale kitchen is my first and only stop when thinking about getting Mexican food in Michigan. the food is so fresh whenever I go to stop by for lunch you guys are always on top of everything preparing food bringing it to the warmer out front and a very clean safe environment for everyone. I highly recommend this place to be your first stop or if you’ve not tried it yet give it a shot and remember when you go to the back of cooper market make sure to get a lime soda they always have it and good job you guys keep up the awesome work.

I love this place. It has moved into a bigger place. They also have the tamales frozen so I can take them home 😀

This is a small, family-run speciality business tucked away in the back left corner of a rural grocery store. It is the kind of place you go to for good
food, not for fancy atmosphere. It is a simple layout where Mom takes your order, Dad whips the food together and then he hands it back to you in a white Styrofoam takeout box. Together they do an excellent job. A few days ago a friend and stopped in for my first visit. I had a generous chicken burrito while my buddy had four tamales. He still raves about them. The next week we went back for more but Mom and Dad were gone to tend to a family matter. You want something to drink with your tamale? Get whatever you like up front at the grocery store's checkout counter.
