Review Summary

La Tamalera earns praise for friendly, attentive service and a casual, welcoming vibe, with staff taking time to explain the menu. The food is described as fresh and authentic, offering strong flavors in items like chilaquiles, Baja Tacos, shrimp empanada, and churros, plus drinks such as pink horchata and aguas frescas. Tamales receive mixed notes, with some diners finding them a bit dry or not to their taste, while others suggest they are a must try. Several reviews mention good value and quick service, whether dining in or taking out, and the overall mood is that the restaurant delivers satisfying Mexican comfort food. While a few comments call some tacos or portions pricey, many customers still plan to return and recommend La Tamalera for a reliable, tasty experience that highlights authentic flavors in a simple setting.

visited several times over several years, dine-in & take-out. Love the Baja Tacos (shrimp), Tibu (one big fish taco), Pozole stew, pink Horchata, & Brunch Huevos. Summer 2025 special was a Shrimp Empanada, loved it. *No alcohol*

Alright. Nothing to rave about. The tacos de carnitas were dry for my taste, they aren't the classic carnitas tacos. The suadero tacos were better. All in all I found it expensive. 3 small tacos runs you up about 18-20$ txs inc. For two people (3 orders of tacos) with 1l of horchata drink ran a bill of 70$

Los tamales eran buenos . Un poquito secos, pero con un buen cafesito. 👌

No probé los tacos o otra cosa que los tamales.

La muchacha que me atendió, fue muy amable y linda con su sonrisa. ☺?

Best Mexican in MTL by far. If you're into authentic that is. Cochinita pibil is delicious, shrimp tacos, yummy. & service is super fast. Been there 10+ times.
