Yummy main & guac

There were a few options on the menu and I ordered the one main, Camote de Agave which is sweet potatoes and black beans. The tostadas were more like big tortilla chips. Overall the flavours were nice and the plate was filling.

Yummy vegan Mexican

We had a really yummy taco salad bowl. The guy at the bar was very helpful letting us know what vegan and there weee quite a few options. We got takeaway and ate by the foreshore. Also had the guacamole and chips. Yum!

Pros: Helpful and friendly staff , Delicious food , Right by the foreshore

Not too bad

What I ordered was nice but not very many options for vegans. Service was a bit slow.

I went a second time with my partner and the service was a lot better. My partner is GF and the waitress was very helpful to him ordering. The food was really nice!

A little disappointing at best

Honestly disappointing. $3 for two corn chips, they call tostadas, 2, one, two. Plus $2 for a spoonful of salsa. Rip off. I had the vegan taco, flavour was fine, it was just a quarter or a zucchini fried in batter put in a soft tortilla. Pretty poor overall. When we mentioned our disappointment we were told others have said the same and we should have ordered something else....we’ll, if others complain too, shouldn’t management take note and adapt to be better???? Go elsewhere, there’s no love or care in their food. Good service aside from all that.

Pros: Outdoor seating, Good service til food comes out then they hide

Cons: Rip off, Go elsewhere

Great atmosphere

Restaurant in the waterfront precinct. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was tasty but not large serves. Happy to amend the menu to veganise where possible.

Third visit to Hot Tamale

Great outdoor setting to dine, especially being so warm in "the dry" as they say in Dawin
I like spicy so the Escabeche Vegetables were a must (pickled vegetables)
Loved the Taco De Calabacin - Tempura zucchini which I added pickled jalapeno

Pros: Good selection of vegan and vegetarian

Cons: Expensive

Great for going out with friends

Great restaurant located on the waterfront precinct, we visited for a work function so had people with a variety of dietary requirements. Staff were responsive and meals came out quickly. Three or four vegan options on the menu which were delicious.

Pros: Meals come out quickly, Great staff, Interesting vegan options
