“ Ordered 12 chicken and 12 beef tamales. The beef tamales have the right amount of meat inside of it and it was moist even though I ate them 3 days. The chicken ones were the same way. ”

“ I'm obsessed with the tamale pozole and their coffee menu! Service is great and the food is just comforting. Can't wait to go back! ”

“ I had the pozole with chicken tamale in it. This is the first time trying this place. Based on my order it was very good. Would I come back, the answer is yes. Now my fellow coworkers who also have been a regular here are regular patrons. On this day, there's at least 12 of us that ordered here. Some ordered the tacos. Some ordered the burritos. A lot of us ordered the pozole with tamale in it. Everyone was happy and content. Most of my coworkers have been to Tamale Mama multiple times which tell me it's good. So I'm basing on the fact that people I know love this place should be worth your while to give this place a shot. ”

“ I've gotten to try Tamale Mama on two different occasions. The first time, I went on a Sunday afternoon. I got the tamazole and an iced latte. The latte was okay. It was very milky and not enough coffee flavor for my taste. The tamazole was tasty, but the tamal totally disintegrated in the pozole, which I guess is the point but I did not like the texture much. If I were to try it again, I'd probably order the tamal on the side so I can add when I'm ready to eat it. On my second visit, I ordered on a weekday. I ordered around 5 and it was already dark outside so I was a little iffy on going because of the location. When I got there, parking in front of the restaurant was limited. The area is not well lit and the restaurant is one of the few businesses on that corner that are open. Definitely recommend you go with someone if going after dark or stay vigilant. I'd suggest that whoever owns the blue mustang (and employee), park elsewhere and leave the front of the restaurant parking for customers since there's not many. This time I ordered the pozole and a pork tamal on the side. The tamal was delicious! The masa was PERFECT. It's hard coming across tamales with a solid masa..iykyk. The meat was good, but definitely not enough. The pozole was very tasty as well. They packed it with meat. It came with toppings which included onion, cabbage, lemon and chili oil. I wish they would add radishes to the toppings they give! Anyway, overall, I will be coming here whenever I'm in the mood for some delicious pozole or tamales. ”

“ I'd seen the reviews of this place online and had been wanting to check them out! Cute little place downtown. The service was fabulous! And the pozole and tamales were very good. I had the pozole and the pork tamale and my date had the birria tacos and a chicken tamale. ”

“ So yes they hooked me from instagram. I saw their ad for the tamazole and that looked amazing so I followed. Then they posted something about a pizza tamal and that looked intriguing! So I knew I had to get there and I think it was New Year's Day and they were one of the few places open. I drove downtown and found them. They have a big lot in the back and at this time it was pretty empty. I noticed their outside eating area and snapped a quick pic. I hear they are re-doing it right now so consider this the before picture. I went in and the amazingly intoxicating aroma slapped my face. I drifted to the counter to place my order. The friendly face who greeted me took my order. I ordered a dozen tamales for $27-$30. I had to wait about 5 mins for them to wrap it all up. Within 10 mins I had my order and was on the way back to my car. I was so happy! As soon as I got home we ate every last tamal. They were so good! The masa to filling ratio was on point. The cheese tamal is gooey and salty. Very satisfying. Will I be back?! Yes! That's for sure! ”

“ In all honesty, I saw this restaurant come across my tik tok app and I was intrigued by the tamale pozole. I had to take a drive to get there because I don't live in Fresno. But I'm a foodie and felt it was worth the drive to check it out. Besides, who can turns down tamales?! The inside is small and the menu is very simple. They serve 3 different types of tamales; pork, chicken and green chile and cheese. We ordered the tamazole, and the wet tamale combo which is your choice of 2 tamales with green sauce poured over the top, rice and beans. Of course, my meal wasn't complete without a cucumber chia agua fresca. The Agua Fresca was refreshing and yummy! The tamazole was very good. They place a tamale of your choice (I chose pork) in the bottom of the bowl, and pour the broth with hominy over the top of the tamale. The broth looked lighter in color so I was nervous that the flavor would be bland but not at all. It was delightful! The wet tamale combo was mediocre but I would definitely be back for the tamazole. A delightful bonus was what we assumed to be the owner came over to talk to us and we had a great conversation! ”

“ A friend found this on Instagram and suggested we try it out since people were raving about it and rightfully so! We walked in and it was packed, the lunch rush was finishing up. The service was EXCELLENT! The food came out right away and was delicious! I also ordered an horchata latte which was to die for. I am looking forward to visiting more often! ”
