Tamale Boy Dekum Reviews
I have regularly ordered take out from Tamale Boy for the last year because the food was always fresh, unique, and delicious. However, the last 3 months the food quality has completely tanked. 2 months ago I was delivered a flan covered in moldy sweetened and condensed milk. My last 6 orders the food has been progressively worse. The food is now old, bland, and inconsistently flavored. The rice is soggy and overcooked, basically just a rice porridge.

Super delicious! It's and order at the counter spot, with only outdoor seating, but walled in and plenty of heaters to keep warm on the chilly days.

This will definitely be a place on my normal rotation from now on.Dietary restrictions: They had all their gluten free dishes labeled.

Not sure why this place has so many good reviews. The two tamales that we ordered on a plate were really bland and wet. Unseasoned veggies. Bland salsas.The Frito was very delicious with great beans and eggs. But the tamales themselves were bit authentic tasting at all.Also you are expected to tip even though you have to bus your own table. ?♀️Also you have to bus your own tableVegetarian options: Bland
