First time at Tamale Boy and it did not disappoint! Tamales were excellent and pretty big. Street tacos delish. Tons of outdoor seating with a fire pit.Dog friendly. Serves alcohol. Lots of people we're sitting outside with their dogs and their beer and their tamales enjoying a sunny Saturday :-) We'll be back!

We loved the authentic flavor of the food! The locale was convenient as we were traveling on vacation. The patio was fantastic and I hope to come back someday to sit around the fire pits at night with a margarita in my hand. Well done Tamale Boy (and girls)!
