We have gotten tamales here for years. We live in another part of town so we don't go as often as we use to. Went last week and they were just as delicious. This was the taste I've been missing. Highly recommend trying if you haven't 👌 👍 👏
I haven't been to Rubens since I worked in the area 41 years ago. So I decided to try them recently. OMG, they were some of the best tamales I have ever had. Tremendous flavor and surprisingly a lot of meat. I ordered a dozen pork and finished them off it an hour. Im going back to try the other tamale fillings. Totally recommend if you are a tamales lover.
Shout out to the gentlemen behind the counter. He was super friendly and helpful.

Since 1952, Ruben’s Tamales has been family owned and operated, and I finally had the privilege of experiencing it for myself. This visit was deeply personal for me; it’s close to home, and my uncle, James Jr., was the one who took me there.
While I was there, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the owners' granddaughters. One of them, Ms. Melissa, was kind enough to walk me through the rich history of the business.
