Guerrmo was delightful. It was our first time there and we came to celebrate my brothers 79th birthday. The menu was explained to us,since we were clueless. We all enjoyed our food. My brother , who is hard to impress, actually ordered a couple of Tamales to go for his wife. We will come back.

Tamale Boy maybe small inside but this place huge on flavor, great service and atmosphere. The fresh seasonal menu is always spectacular with delicious staples as well - carnitas burrito is one of my favorites. Recent patio improvements have made outside eating year round treat.

Hello folks. I had a chicken tamale from the van. It was the first I'd had and it won't be the last. Delicious! The flavor was wonderful. And I loved the fancy corn. Thank you Tamale Boy. �
