Tamales Dona Tere

Delicious Tamales, Great Experience! We recently tried Dona Tere's tamales, they are were packed with flavor, and the texture was perfect – not too dry, not too moist. The variety of flavors offered a delicious treat for any taste buds. The service was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. Christmas is around the corner 🎄 call to make you tamales orders🫔.

Excellent spot for ready to serve tamales which are very large and flavorful. This location primarily serves to go business but there are a few small tables for dining in if you prefer. The tamales are twice the size that you will get at other places, however, this extra size comes mainly from masa and not from extra meat. Unlike some of the recent negative reviews I have seen posted for this location, all the members of my party received an ample serving of meat in the central portion of the tamale. And the extra masa making up the tamale exterior provides the diner several additional opportunities to enjoy the exquisite green and red sauces that you can get to go with your order. There is an adequate selection of beverages including Mexican Sodas like Jarritos, Sangría Señorial & Sidral Mundet. A strawberry Jarritos was an excellent complement to my chicken and pork tamales. The consensus of my group was that the pork tamales were the top choice closely followed by the chicken. On the surface, the price of $3 per tamale seems a bit expensive, but one tamale provides more than sufficient substance to give you a nice warm full feeling in your tummy.

OMG!!! The tamales were DELICIOUS!! We bought the chicken, pork, and Chile corn casa. The tamales are HUGE!! I really was AMAZED at the safety protocol that they have in place due to the COBID. The lady who waited on us was SUPER friendly and helpful!!! EXCELLENT service!! We definitely will be going back❤️❤️

HANDS DOWN THE BEST, THE ONLY PLACE YOU NEED TO GET TAMALES! I have been eating tamales at this location on Beechnut for 7 plus years and they have NEVER disappointed. Every tamale restaurant in Houston come with the same small tamales with barely any meat or flavor These tamales are HUGH and packed with flavor. It is a ways from where I live so when I do go I get a hugh amount and they last and taste good for days. I've eaten them hot and cold the next day and they are STILL GOOD. I cannot believe anyone would go anywhere else. No one comes close to this place for tamales.

The people here were very kind to me, and the tamales were very good. Of course I had to respect their space (or "social distance", whatever "social distance" is) but it was worth it. I have seen this restaurant in my city of Houston for many years, so I knew that it would be good. You can also refill your propane tank or have it inspected next to this location.

When this place first opened up the prices were a lot cheaper, which is understandable since they've grown a lot and from a business stand point makes sense. Wish they weren't as expensive but they are some of the best tamales I've had. They will tell you if they have been there a while and if you would like to wait for fresh ones. A mojority of the time they will if they aren't really busy, if not make sure to ask.
