Tamale My Life catered our wedding at Trinity Tree Farms last weekend. All of our guests loved our food and, since we have a couple of family members who are gluten free/have celiacs, it was so great not to have to stress about gluten contamination! It was the perfect cost-effective dinner and surprisingly filling with all delicious flavors. My only regret is that my husband and I didn't ask someone from our wedding party to leave us with the leftovers!

I have not been able to find any Spanish rice that has the flavor that it’s supposed to have since I have been in the area. I was beyond surprised at the flavor in the rice, beans, and tamales! I could eat the pico for breakfast lunch and dinner. Everything was good! I am excited to try pozole next.

Dear Tamale my life, please please please bring back qué quesabirria. I tried your quesabirria in the taco festival, it was such a special treat for me! I have celiac and follow a strict gf diet. This was the best quesabirria in the whole planet. I have also, of course, tried their tamales, I love them, very authentic.

Farmers Market at Bellevue Presbyterian yesterday. The BEST tamales I've had outside San Antonio, TX! The pork tamales were incredible, the variety of sauces were a perfect complement! I'm already ready for more!

Actually, I didn’t experience the atmosphere of a brick and mortar restaurant. I bought my tamales from the truck.

Delicious tamales! Good atmosphere and you can find them attending local community events/farmers markets. I can be kind of picky when it comes to the "texture" of my tamales and was impressed by the chicken tamales and appreciate how well these were made ♡

Very disappointed. I tried out Tamale my life at the Sammamish farmers market
I ordered the special six for $22 I ordered three of the vegan tamales two strawberry and one pineapple. What I received was three vegan, two strawberry and one refried bean tamale. In Addition to Getting my order incorrect ( and not finding out until I got home), when I got home some of the vegan tamales had raw 'batter'. some of them were precooked, and others were just raw and gooey. The strawberry is filled with coconut, so be aware if you don't like coconut.My pineapple turned refried beans, turned out small & dry.

I love Tamale my Life! I first tried their tamales at an Urban Craft Uprising show last November at Seattle Center. TML was one of a few different food options on that opening night of the show. As someone who must avoid dairy, I appreciated all the options and clear labeling of which tamales were dairy free or vegan. And...they were delicious! Recently I was down near SoDo for a visit to Pacific Fabrics (another awesome local business) and I was so happy to see that TML was close by. I ordered a dozen frozen tamales online for pick-up and also got some hot tamales for lunch. (Note: they only do takeout, no in-person dining, which was OK with me.) The employee who helped me with my order was super friendly and helpful, and the tamales were just as good as I remembered. I have tried the pork mole, chicken tomatillo, black bean and sweet potato, and refried bean tamales, and they are all delicious. And super easy to steam and reheat! Really nice option for dinner, ready to go in your freezer when you need it. I highly recommend Tamale my Life!

Their selection of tamales is great. Some tamales are better than others I would say.
Vegetarian options: Loaded veggie is one of the tastier veggie tamales
Worst tamales of my life. The rice tasted like plastic and the beans had no flavor. May God have mercy on this establishment.

I got the opportunity to try these tamales at a festival....they were out-of-this-world delicious! I am first generation Mexican-American and grew up eating my mother's and grandmother's tamales, who made traditional tamales every year for the holidays that were absolutely delicious. I try so hard now as a Seattle-ite to find tamales anywhere NEAR as delicious, and am usually pretty let down. Tamale My Life did not disappoint! Their masa was moist and tasty, the fillings were very flavorful, the ratio was perfect....I cannot wait to order more of these as soon as possible! I hope they incorporate their bacon jalapeno popper flavor into their regular menu, but I look forward to trying the other flavors offered. Great job TML!

Ordered a Chicken Tomatillo Tamale. .this doesn't taste, look or feel like a tamale at all! Filling is some kind of chopped and formed mixture that tastes vaguely like cinnamon...no flavor otherwise. Where's the flavorful shredded chicken I expected? Tomatillo sauce on the side is pretty spicy, even though I asked for mild.

These tamales are delicious. Masa to meat ratio is on point. Usually everyone does way more masa than filling so I appreciate the ratio. Ordered for a work lunch and it was a hit.
