Los Tamales Locos: Reviews & Ratings
Super amazing food, their chicken mulita is top tier for a low price I used to get this place all the time and it never dissapointed.
Excellent Tamales! Everything is fresh and homemade. The family running it has so much pride in the food they serving. Prices are also reasonable. Recommend to everyone!
I just stopped part way though my meal of a cheese and jalapeño tamale with salsa from Los Tamales Locos because I had to write this. I love tamales, and have them at a lot of places around town, and this tamale is exceptional. I ordered 4, and it was an easy transaction. They came out in a to go box, which when I opened, I saw that each was individually, carefully wrapped for storage. I was just thinking about how I'd have to do that so I could freeze some for the future! The people were nice there and the menu items I didn't get but want will keep me coming back for a long time. Next time I'll get one dressed up with the queso, avocado, and Los Tamales' signature chili sauce. And the next I plan on a plate of Oaxacan tamales!!
I placed another order through Postmates for Los Tamales Locos and not only was my order right, it was prepared quickly and the tamales are delicious! The Tamales are affordable and I will order again.
Outstanding burritos and wonderful customer service, and an excellent value. The burritos are big and filling!
I would only recommend this place if you love tamales that are fresh, fluffy and flavorful. They melt in your mouth and you just want to savor every mouthful. Every time I get food from here I'm mad at myself for waiting so long between visits.
This is my second time here and I must say these are the best tamales in Portland! It's not even close. I love the pork tamales with mole sauce! So delicious. The cabbage salad compliments it so well. Keep it up. You got a forever customer.
I decided to try them at their new location at Eastport Food Carts and I was glad I did! I had the tamale plate with one chicken and one pork tamale, and beans and corn for the two sides. Every bite was delicious, and I was able to make two satisfying meals out of it. I will no doubt return soon. Glad they are in my neighborhood!
Very good! Better than Tijuanas lol I ordered two tamales. One chicken and one beef. The rice and beans were even really good.
