First time coming to this place and it was by far the best tamales I’ve had. The pork with jalapeños were spicy and good. I’m definitely coming back. And the owner is a super nice woman.10/10 I recommend the drive.

The tamales are very tasty, of which they have a lot of variety, for all tastes, and not just tamales, they have many other sandwiches and a variety of drinks.Parking: They have a large parking lot, suitable for sugar.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp for people in wheelchairs.

First time here.Ordered the chicken tamales. They lacked in flavor I did not enjoy them at all. Don’t have great customer service. Would not recommend.

I stumbled upon Reubens Tamales by chance. Figured with them being in business for over 70 years , it's worth a try. Been going back ever since.

They are not good!! I went once and I had no desire to return, besides there are no slices with cheese, and they serve reluctantly as if I were asking for something

We drove from Live Oak (about 20 miles) on recommendation from a friend. Right away we were greeted by Lee Marvin and he was so friendly and helpful. The tamales were delicious and definitely worth driving through construction and light rain. Thank you Lee Marvin for your smile and your "God bless you" !

Tamales used to be something special here many years ago now they are awful started going downhill about 10 years ago. Gave it another chance the other day and still awful. Could hardly even find any meat in the tamales just some shreds here and there they were dry and no grease (cause there is no meat most likely) couldn't even eat them had one tamale and threw the rest out. Not sure what is going on with the rest of these 5 star reviews clearly they must be fake reviews because there is no way - these tamales are barely edible. So disappointing we used to get tamales from Rubens every Saturday - WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PORK ???
