Los Tamales - Tacoma

The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is welcoming, prices are reasonable, and service is fast. They stay open late on weekends too!

The food at this restaurant is incredible, 10 out of 10, highly recommended. My colleague and I came here for my birthday lunch and we each ordered something different. All of our meals were delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and you can hear the cooks singing in the background. I absolutely adore this place and will definitely return.

I do not recommend ordering the marinated chicken dish unless you enjoy a strong cinnamon flavor. It was too overpowering for my taste, and I could only handle one bite. There was no offer to refund my meal. After waiting 35 minutes for the first dish, I was not willing to wait any longer for the next one.

Pizzacoa is pretty good and could be split between two to three people. Birra tacos were decent as well as even the kids burger that wasn't that amazing, but was a decent sized burger and fries for the price. There's a couple of things that make this placestand out for myself, they've changed over the years in a good way and are less greasy. House made tortillas that are done well,and the birra sauce compliments the food that you can dip the tacos, pizzacoa, many items in. I will say that some items arepretty average. For the price, quality and authenticity, it's fantastic. It's competing with some other places very, very closeby. I personally like El Taco Bus best for fresh. Taco Guyamas for a really satisfying flavor that's usually cooked well anddoesn't feel as heavy but also having the best salsa's, at least before covid. So, to each their own, but Los Tamales is veryunique and stacks high in some regards to the rest around here. And these right here all within distance of each other Imentioned are likely the best around possibly including Antojo's. I've eaten at many places around town the other places down72nd just aren't as good in my opinion.

The Pizzacoa was outstanding with layers of flavor. We also appreciated they had kids cheeseburgers available too so that we could take our kids without worrying if they'll find something to eat.
