HOT TAMALE REVIEWS

First time trying Mexican cuisine and it was worth it. Thank you Stephanie for your suggestions and customer service was really good. Great ambience and environment. Good option for a weekend hangout with family and friends.

It’s a nice place to go out to. The food quality has gotten lower over the years. The service is good, the prices are too high for what you actually get. Overall good experience.

Love their happy hours from 4-6. Delicious and refreshing frozen margaritas for Darwin's heat. $6 tacos from 4-6 are really worth it. Highly recommend the soft fish tacos.
