First time trying Tamale Boy, this will be my comfort food go to from now on. I usually pick veggie items over meat but im so glad I got the Norteno Tinga De Pollo perfect flavor and texture. Ended up being my favorite of these two. Norteno Rajas is super yummy as well. Impressed with how stuffed they both are. Great price and taste! Doing a little happy food dance right now..

First time trying the Burrito. It's good, but I don't think it compares to their tamales. I know, it's in the name, but I felt like I had to try it for burrito research. The Side of Chips was notably large and delicious.

Absolutely amazing food and also very reasonably priced. The only place that comes close is Amelia's out in Hillsboro. I got the Taquiza Meal For Six and we had plenty of leftovers that turned into a delicious lunch the next day. The plantains are a must have. The queso was really flavorful but I would have liked it a little thicker. That's the closest thing I have for a negative! This place is now on my top five list for take out.
