Tamale Boy Dekum is a restaurant where customers order at the counter and can enjoy their meals in a walled outdoor seating area equipped with heaters for chilly days. Restrooms are available. The menu features a variety of gluten-free options that are clearly labeled. Customers praise the legit tamales, which are fat, full of fillings, and perfectly paired with salsas. The tamales have moist masa, not dry or tasteless like some can be, and come in many regional varieties and fillings. Some recent reviews mention delicious chilaquiles and tasty salsa that come with the chips. The restaurant offers traditional-style enchiladas, and the service is quick and friendly, especially on quieter days. Customers should note that tipping and bussing tables are part of the experience. While some reviews mention issues with food quality and taste in recent months, many find the food flavorful and satisfying, making it a great spot for lunch and a place that can turn visitors into tamale lovers.
