Frelard Tamales - Seattle

Best tamales I've ever had. They are pretty huge, and stuffed with amazing fillings and love. Got a whole spread of flavors to try and they were all so good I can't really choose a favorite, but the jalapeño cheese, spicy shredded pork and spinach are definitely up there. They also have some vegan options and sweet dessert ones (sweet ones sold frozen only, so you have to make them at home . Also have an amazing beans rice and tamale lunch combo? Great great greaaat spot :

The best tamales I?ve ever had. The chorizo cheese is my favorite. Outstanding rice beans as well. Been here a number of times since discovering them. Friendly staff, will definitely be back many times.

I am not a big fan of tamales in general, but these are good. (I tried two vegan options. They're also big, and well worth the $5 price. Good ingredients. Cool crew running the place too. If you like tamales, there's no reason not to come here.

Quick and easy walk up ordering. Tamales came out steaming hot! Favorite is the salsa roja pork. I thought the chicken was too bland. Chorizo and cheese was good, but the flavor profile felt very one dimensional. The masa was very soft unlike other ones I've had that were too dry/hard. Would definitely come back to try their vegetarian/vegan options!

Awesome Tamales! The nearly 100% 5 star reviews are justified! I grew up in AZ, CA eating amazing tamales and these are right. I was a little concerned about 5 dollars a pop for tamales but they are huge and filled with filling. Absolutely worth 5 bucks each. The cut up tamale in the picture is just 1 of them!
