Pretty good!

I’m glad there was a vegan option - always happy when there’s one! This was a blue corn one. The textures were a little off but the flavor was good! There’s also sooooo many hot sauces you can use.

Great quick veg lunch

We went here for lunch. I really appreciate that the vegetarian and vegan choices are their own dishes, and not just "leave out the meat" versions of non-veg dishes. Great salsa bar!

Pros: Good menu options, Good value, Salsa bar!

Tasty tamales!

Fresh or frozen doesn’t matter, these tamales are delicious! My favs are green chili/cheese and black bean/cheese, if you can’t make it to their shop they do carry at Whole Foods and Natural Grocers in freezer sections. Love these!

Curry tamales!

There is almost a dozen vegan tamale options here and they are all phenomenal. There is a soyrizo breakfast tamale, dessert tamales, and my two favorite flavors- blue corn veggie and veggie curry. Everything is local and so fresh!

Excellent Food

They have a variety of vegetarian options that are delicious. The curry vegetable tamales, cheese and jalapeños tamales and the black bean and corn tamales are a must try.

Delicious vegan tamales

Oh man, these tamales are perfection. We ordered the 2 tamale plate with the blue corn & curry tamales. The curry ones were really good- nice flavor, but obvi not traditional. The blue corn ones were good, especially if eaten with the rice and beans. We also picked up one of each of their to-go tamales- can’t wait to try them! We will say that we think they just popped them in the microwave, which didn’t bother us. They also ship to all 50 states!

Great Food

I'm from Minnesota and never had a tamale before. This place was right across from my hotel, so I thought I would try it.

They have two vegan tamales, so I tried them both, along with black beans and rice. I covered all of it with their spicy salsa, and it was delicious. I don't really understand why the food is wrapped in an inedible corn husk, but I unwrapped them and overall thought it was a great lunch. I'll take this over Chipotle any day.

Pros: Two vegan tamales and lots of vegan sides, Great salsas

Cons: The inedible corn husks

Nice tamales

I stopped here for breakfast. They have two tamales on their regular menu that are vegan (New Delhi curry and blue corn with squash). I tried both, topped with a variety of salsas from their well-stocked salsa bar. I enjoyed the tamales, and I would definitely come again for breakfast or a snack.

Pros: Good tamales, Salsas

great tamales

We visited this location while on vacation. Its just as good as the one on Broadway. In fact I think it might be better. I had 2 of the new Delhi tamales, they were incredible. The masa was so tender and flavorful.
