The Tamale House

Yum!
I've been eating here for the last 5 yrs. They don't disappoint. The cheese and jalapeno and barbecue pork are my favorites. The place has limited seating so keep that in mind if you're wanting to dine in. They do sell out fast, so call if at all possible. I occasionally order by the dozens and freeze them for home and rv use. Beware of the hot sauce, it's definitely home made and has a punch! ????
Thanks for reading!

We ordered 3 dozen tamales for christmas and they were worth every penny. These are large tamales and have tons of filling. Three dozen will feed 20 people easily. Warring the jalapeno and cheese has a good kick but it is a good kick.

Delicious tamales. We ordered 2 dozen for Xmas, but I had to eat some ahead of schedule. The cheese and jalapeno, pork and chicken were all delicious. The tamales are a lot larger than I'm used to, but I enjoy them. Their masa is so tasty. Personally, I've always found the staff to be friendly.

I wish I could leave a five star. And I actually could if we’re going just on the food. They are absolutely amazing and delicious the best tamales in Portland hands-down. But every time I’ve ever gone in and meet the owner (the husband) He is not very nice. He has an underlining attitude and tone of sarcasm that’s not funny. I went in today and I accidentally said enchiladas instead of tamales but he corrected me very quickly and we got past it. Came home and one of the plates did not have the correct tamales on it. My husband called Into let him know we spent a good chunk of money on two meals and one of the plates was incorrect.he is not very nice. He was extremely rude about it and mentioned how I didn’t even know what I was talking about in the first place. I love the tamale House and their food is amazing but the customer service definitely needs a little help
