Alamo Tamales & Taco

Man I remember when this place was a little shack on berry road. I'm not Hispanic but as a Houstonian I grew up knowing the difference between the best and trash tamales. Alamo has always been top rank in Houston everyone knows

It is a nice tamale place. They keep it clean. Prices are not to bad.

Went for a 15. Roomy, ambience was perfect. Food from there was excellent, the fajita was tender and juicy????????????

I'm a blue collar worker and I buy tamales from local purveyors. FROM the ice chest, foil wrapped , homemade goodness. A friend of a friend suggested Alamo Tamales. The chicken tamales are way beyond any I have ever eaten. Pork and beef are top of the line. These juicy meat filled treats are goodness at its best. The bean tamales, just bean, that's it. Were to me, underflavored. But wait! They are your vegetarian tamale. AND I may not have given them a fair deal. Eating them right behind the chicken. Where the meat tamales were bursting with spices and flavors, the bean tamales were significantly more subtle. I added a little salsa to mine and finished them with a smile. Alamo Tamales & taco is an off the track gold mine of taste bud pleasure, in my opinion.

Best tamales hands down. We used to buy tamales from friends and friends of friends but prices kept going up and the tamales were not all that great. At Alamo you get consistent quality with the same average price. Remember always get the handmade tamales. They are the best.
