I’ll keep this short and sweet. This place is absolutely amazing. A must try for anyone in the area. Don’t sleep on the food here, you will not regret trying it.

There are vegan and carnivore options, and their frozen tamales are awesome to stock in your freezer. Delicious sides, too. Run, don’t walk.

Being from the SW, these tamales are the closest you'll have to a home cooked meal. These are delicious and authentic. Simple menu and reasonable priced. I would make this a must stop every time.

I normally would give full stars to a place I enjoyed
But I'm being honest here when I say you really should put pork in your ingredients on the items itself cause I didn't catch the print to the side until I already ate and by then it was too late without inducing vomiting. I'm allergic to red meat and have not enjoyed the severe autoimmune response I've had the last two days. Aka in some of the worst physical pain I've been in a while.. like it put me in tears. PLEASE put it with the ingredients. It sucks all your meat ones are now off the table and the vegan one isn't that great and was very bland. As I tried it too.

Set up a large order. Arrived 30 minutes before scheduled time. Person at counter was very rude. Made a smart ass comment saying if I wanted to pick up sooner I should have done set up that time. Said I needed to pay now. Machine asked if I wanted to tip. I have worked in a restaurant and I always over tip. Not this time. Arrived at appointed time and guess what he wasn’t ready. Tamales were good though

The vegan tamale is fantastic! I feel thankful that Good Golly Tamale offers such a nourishing plant-based meal considering that Knoxville doesn’t have any vegan or vegetarian restaurants!

Amazi!ng
We ordered the Full House and a plate with two sides. The tamales I tried were the Chicken Tinga and the Calabacitas vegetarian. Both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made.
,, I’ve traveled through many Latin American countries, and honestly, these tamales were better than anything I’ve had before
The service was great : everyone was super friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed, with chill music that made the place feel welcoming.
This is truly a Knoxville gem. If you love good food, you need to try it.

The Vegan Soul tamale was really good! A blue corn tamale stuffed with beans, sweet potato, and collard greens. What's not to love?!?
So very very good!
Absolutely delicious tamales we had here: chicken tinga and bean & cheese. They tasted homemade with lots of flavor. Service is awesome. I would skip buying a drink and just get the self-serve water. Definitely stopping in to try other tamale flavors before we leave the area.
