I came in to buy the jarred salsa based on other reviews. I asked a server how it all worked there with the tamales to go and the salsa. I asked if I could sample the salsa and she politely said no that they didn’t open the jars for sampling. However, when I was looking through their frozen tamales options she brought me a plate of salsas with chips, beans and rice and a potato side. She said the kitchen had open jars and she brought a few things for me to sample the salsa on. And she offered me a drink to wash it down. I ended up buying the green and the red green mix, along with a dozen tamales. They have vegan and vegetarian tamales which blew me away! So I chose a variety. I’ve only tried the bean and cheese so far but it was very tasty and much bigger than the average tamale! I would definitely recommend checking this place out! They have some fun flavor popcorn that I’ll have to try next time. And if you’re looking to make tamales, they sell the husks and other items too!

The tamales were one of the best I've tasted in the Phoenix area. My favorite were the green chile and pork tamales.

We've loved Mexican food for well over half a century, and these are the best tamales we've ever had. What more needs to be said?

The choice of Tamales, fantastic! We had the Green Chile and chicken ones with corn. Yummy! We bought some for meal replacements when we are traveling. The restaurant is very clean with nice displays of different sauces and some other types goods. The staff were very friendly! I recommend you gotta go!

OMG!! Absolutely loved The Tamele Store. We will definitely be making this place one of our regular places for lunch. The selection was perfect, and the food was amazing. Tamales are very moist, and the meat filling is very generous!! I had the Mayan Salad with Pork Verde. My hubby had the Tamale Salad Bowl, and of course, I took some of his Tamale!! Our friends had their Tamale with mole and absolutely loved the mole!! Highly recommend The Tamele Store.Dietary restrictions: Tamales aren't vegetarian. Having said that, the sweet/dessert tamales might fit the bill and order the salad without a tamale, otherwise, it's not for vegetarians.
