I've been coming to the Tamale Place since it was a one room standalone building on Rockville and Lynhurst, not sure how I've yet to review this place!

My recommendation;
1) chicken nachos
2) chicken tacos w/ everything
3) chips and guacamole and/or cheese

I know tamales aren't in those recommendations, and ... read more

This place has so many pluses it is hard yo know where to start. I'm not a tamale lover by any means but my wife loves them. This is the only place we will go to get tamales because the are so good that even I will eat them. More importantly most of them are gluten free.  When we first started going there we were leery of eating ther ... read more

Food was a bit pricey and dry.  Flavor was fine, just dried out texture. I'll try them again and see.

I go straight for the spicy chicken nachos. If you like spicy, try the habanero salsita.

At first I thought it was ridiculous to pay $14 for a full torta but after I opened the to-go container I was like... Oh crap that's alot. After I ate I realized it was worth the money. I couldn't even finish it.

I wish I had pictures--Love this place!  It's a super casual spot for tamales, nachos and tortas.  The tamales are made fresh, so they have a wipe board showing which flavors are left and how many. The tamales are delcious, but the nachos are amazing.They have the best nachos because of the fresh ingredients and the queso!

This place served up some extremely good tamales - pork in red sauce and pork in green sauce were delicious, giant, moist masa and perfectly salty, flavorful meat.  The cheese and and pepper and bean and cheese were disappointing in comparison due to excessive, dry cheese inside.  They also erroneously gave us another cheese and pepp ... read more

Really like this place! The key is going early because as you can see on their digital screen, they start to run out of tamales as the day goes on. They do combo meals, which is a good deal! Besides the tamales, I really enjoy the rice and the cheese dip.

I've tried a few of the tamales and all are equally delicious. You real ... read more

We hadn’t been there before and the staff were kind in helping us to navigate our options. Atmosphere was relaxed and cheery and the food was delicious.

Lowkey best tacos in the city.
Lowkey best tacos in the city. Their fish tacos are perfection. The chips and guacamole are made fresh. And the tamales are from scratch.  Don't forget the queso...it's amazing on everything!

Absolutely love this place. Anytime ...
Absolutely love this place. Anytime we are on the west side of Indianapolis, we stop by  to stock up on great homemade tamales. Great to freeze,  then steam when we want a few. This visit was on a Friday evening after work. Didn't expect their "Available Now" menu to have much left, but it did. Plenty to get a few of each of our favo ... read more

Ambiance: We came here at noon on a weekday and the place was working just at capacity, tables were clearing just as new people came in. The place itself was spacious with high  ceilings that can make the place sound a little loud and echoey. The staff were super friendly and patient and the food comes out very fast considering every ... read more

I have been eating at The Tamale Place ever since they were a tiny little stand alone operation on the corner of Rockville and Lynhurst. I can't even put into words how good their food is.

This is the best tamale place in the midwest. Very authentic. I just wish they had salsa to put on top of the tamale.

The best place in Indy for Tamales. They also have amazing nachos and tacos. It's a clean local hole in the wall place. Nothing fancy, just great food. The worst part is that they run out of many kinds by later dinner service.

Best tamales I ever ate anywhere in US and Mexico.
