Alamo Tamale & Taco

Pretty hyped spot where we had to stop by to see what the fuss was about. The food was okay. The pastor and Barbacoa tasted pretty bland and we had to drench our tamales in salsa to get any flavor at all. What's sad is i had better tres leches in whole foods than here. The staff however is fantastic and we loved the decor.

This Christmas, I decided not to make tamales. My husband heard of this place and we decided to make the drive from Katy. They had security in the parking lot directing people to the entrance. We had to enter thru the banquet hall and get in a long line. When we got closer to the front, someone took our order 4dz pork tamales and a few minutes later, or order was brought to us and we went to pay at the register. They had 4 registers open. It was Christmas Eve and they had the line moving fast! They did a great job, starting with the police outside to the way they efficiently had the line moving fast! The tamales are the best I've had in a long time. They are delicious, with a good amount of pork inside. The masa is just right, the flavor how it's supposed to be. The bakery next door has great pastries Mexican pan dulce and cupcakes with a surprising filling! We will definitely be back again!

The menudo was ok nothing special very blend. The tamales were nothing special as well I tried the pork & chicken. They tasted store bought not hand made if you ask me. The food was too expensive for the quality they serve. And they started closing 1 hour 3pm before the closing time 4pm to be out by then

I ordered to go because I was heading out of town. The Barbacoa was delicious and juicy. Better than anything I've found in Dallas. The Pork Tamales were a medium size, but had a decent amount of meat in them and great flavor. The rice and tortillas were also very good. I was very impressed by the Barbacoa. There's also a Panaderia in the same building. They have a great selection to choose from.

Best tamales in Houston for any occasion. We go here once a year to pick up 15 plus dozens for friends and family. We always go hand rolled versus machine made. This year we paid $15.99 a dozen. Service was really fast even though there was a very long line. Multiple order takers we're taking orders in line to speed up the process.

My sister-in-law assured me that this was a great place for tamale lovers. She was right! They offer an assortment of handmade and machine-made tamales and other regional dishes. Some types of tamales they only sell on weekends. I didn't necessarily like that they sell them by the dozen or half-dozen only, but that just meant there were more for me. I also enjoyed the decor. The giant dolls? statutes? near the entryway provide a perfect photo op.

Even though they was a line, it was fast and all ladies helping were efficient in aiding all the customers in their needs. Everyone was bilingual so no language barrier here. Bakery attached to it. Small banquet hall. Small barcantina. Inside dining area

The handmade beef tamales were pretty good. A dozen is $16.99 plus tax. We intended to eat there but changed our minds after no plates were available and there were only plastic utensils. Another thing that was off putting were the huge signs at the entrance prohibiting open and concealed carry.

I just ordered a fajita platter and it is completely the most disgusting Mexican food I have tasted ever! If you want to vomit, eat here. And I paid $12 for this mess that I threw away. Never again.

Stopped in for some breakfast tacos and they were delicious. Also got some bakery goods to go. Yummy. Service was great. Thank you.Recommended dishes
