Tamales El Dorado Reviews
Hole in the wall place with authentic tamales, like my grandma used to make them (just a little spongy-er). We have tried tamales from many places and think these are as authentic as they get. I gave 4 stars bc I like my tamale masa on the thinner side. They do sell out.During COVID: they have a walk-up window with shade for orders (to the right of the building).
I only knew this place because of their tamales, which are a great size, and always fresh. They usually deliver to the Hilos de Plata Senior Center on Fridays. The restaurant, though, is quaint, and owned by a lovely older couple, who seem to make great business, because people are always stopping in to pick up their orders, chat a bit, and go back to their activities.

I have tried the tamales in many locations through out El Paso. This is as close as it gets to my grandmother's recipe. It is a hole in the wall type of place, you have stand in line to order and is a cash only business. I have not tried any other items on the menu. I am just rating the tamales.
