I have been searching for good tamales since moving to Indy 4yrs ago and I FINALLY found some! OMG... these are the best I've had in Indy thus far and trust me I've had many! Service was quick and pleasant. It's a bit on the pricier side, but I don't mind paying for quality and this was it in my opinion. I've found my tamale go to restaurant!

Been wanting to try this place for a long time but rarely in the area when it's time to eat. Today, I said to heck with it, called the wife, and said "I'm getting us tamales for dinner" Quick service and friendly service. Got a elote, sweet corn tamale, hot & spicy pork tamales, and beef with red sauce tamale. Everything was delicious. Perfectly steamed and packed full of ingredients. Why did I wait so long to try it????

Great little place. We went during the lunch rush. Service was great and very fast. Steak tacos had a great smokey grill flavor, the spicy tamales had some nice heat on them. Glad we went and will definitely go back!

A storefront in a strip mall, the Tamale Place is an interesting location. Inside, order at the counter and it doesn't take long for them to pull your tamales, plate them and you're ready to eat. The current selection is on the board and I chose the "Hot & Spicy Pork" and a "Bean and Rice." A good mix as the hot and spicy was indeed both hot and spicy. It was very helpful to have a regular with some carbs to cut some of that heat. I am not a tamale expert and so I can't say that these were fantastic or that they exceeded expectations. But they were tasty, a big portion and I enjoyed them. [Round number review 1300 of 2024 - 177 in Indiana - 22323 overall]

These tamales are huge!! Visiting from So Cal where we have a ton of places to go for tamales and my cousin said I must try this place out and it definitely did not disappoint. Very big and yummy tamales! They have so many options to choose from. I got a poblano and cheese, which was delicious! Service was also quick and friendly. There is a a lot of tables for seating and is has a casual ambiance. Parking was very easy as well. They will list the tamales they have on a sign and will update it throughout the day. Wish I tried their other food as I heard it's all pretty good but if I come back to town, I'll be sure to stop by here!

Delicious, authentic, and a refreshing change to the typical Mexican food. I've had lunch here many times and have tried lots of the tamales as well as the torta and they are always a delight. Get there early because they will run out of tamales.

This was my second time visiting this restaurant. The first time I went about 5 years ago, I didn't go early enough, and they'd sold out of a lot of options. The first time I went was because I saw they had been on Triple D. The second time is because I really wanted to see what the hype was. I drove into Indy from Chicago for two things only - to watch the solar eclipse and eat these tamales. I ordered the spicy chipotle chicken and beef in red sauce along with a side of elotes. These are the best tamales I've EVER had. We have tons of tamalerias in Chicago, and this tops those. The masa is so soft and delicious, and the filling has just the right amount of sauce, so it's not dry at all. The elotes were also surprisingly delicious! My husband had a spicy green pork tamale and a pork taco, and he says that was the best tamal he ever had. We liked it so much that we bought three bags of frozen tamales to bring back to Chicago with us!

What a hidden gem!! The tamale place is so awesome not only for tamales but also bowls, nachos, and more. The options for tamales are endless and they even carry vegetarian friendly options, which is a win for me. You can get spicy ones, meat focused ones, corn, etc. Tamales are prepared daily so when they are out, they are out; however, from my experience they are very prepared with the amount they make and don't run out too fast. When you arrive at the restaurant you'll see a giant list of everything they current have available. They also sell giant bags of chips salsa/queso for a shareable option. Because of the availability they don't take online orders and you need to go in person. With that being said the service is pretty quick since the tamales are made ahead of time! Overall I was so impressed and I highly recommend. If you don't like tamales there's plenty of options but I HIGHLY recommend getting several tamales to share. They are very large and a great bang for your buck!

There is plenty of parking when you arrive. It's a casual atmosphere. When it comes to the tamales- they make a certain amount of each and when they are out they are out. I personally LOVE the chicken nachos! Don't get a full order unless you are hungry though! Huge! Place is pretty small inside but there is some seating. I've gone with small groups and we were able to stay and eat with no isMost of their customers get it to go.

This is my new favorite lunch near my office in Speedway. It's kind of an interesting concept; you walk in and there's a little television screen High up, and to the right to tell you what types of tamales they have that day and how many are left. I've been trying something different every time I've visited. This time I tried the spicy pork and the green chicken enchiladas. I went with coworkers and we giggled because we got a little overboard on the queso and the chips. We ordered a large queso and a large bag of chips. We really love queso on everything so we should've just got a small bag of chips and a large container of queso... We had lots of leftover chips. The chips are cooked fresh, it is hard to settle for any chip out of a bag from the grocery store after you have these. You have been warned
