Tamales Doña Tere

Food was good,,, time to serve a little slow. Tamales I do recommend.

Very authentic Mexican food, the tamales are the same tamale that you can find in Mexico city. The torta of tamale can be better, the tinga gordita is really good

Good service, great food, nice people, a little expensive for tamales, but they are very good.

I like to visit certain places a few times before reviewing them to make sure service and food is consistent. I also pre-judge the food by how busy a restaurant is. As the name indicates, the best menu item is the tamales. The selection and sizing is great. The only downside is the damn near $3 tamales are mostly cornbread w/very little filling. Ive tasted the chicken, mole, and beef. The flavor and seasoning hasn't been consistent throughout my 3 visits. Now they have an updated menu but it seems the food got more bland with each visit. In summary:

1. This place is always empty. You never have to worry about a line here. I frequent the UPS next door which always has a line, lol. But, at Tamales you may see one or two filled tables at most.

2. As stated in another review, the food is definitely overpriced for the taste and quality. Great Mexican food isn't hard to find in Texas...you just won't find it at this Tamales.

3. Bland. Bland. Bland. I think this place has a no-sodium policy because the only thing that has any flavor is the rice.
