Hot Tamale Heaven normally lives up to their name, but not this time. I had been craving tamales and I go and to my surprise the prices have gone up. Fine, I still order a dozen to drive 30 minutes home and they are unseasoned and dry! The tamales actually looked old. I was so disappointed as this was my go to spot for tamales. I only ate 3 hoping it would get better.

I stopped at the Hot Tamale Heaven on 82 and it wasn’t open yet. Instead, the nice lady suggested I try the “big store”. She gave me directions and sent me on my way. I was VERY impressed when I saw the outside so I parked and decided to go in.
I must say that the foul odor of marijuana was strong outside but once inside, it did smell like tamale heaven! The staff was very friendly and the inside was as nice and clean as the outside.
I got my dozen tamales and Arnold Palmer to go. I was eager to try them so I decided to start eating them in the parking lot. They were as good as they were hot. They were flavored perfectly seasoned but I was only able to eat a couple before I had to go. I must admit that they were so good, I stopped two more times to eat more. This definitely cured my craving for tamales and is my new go-to location for tamales!!

We are tourists passing through the area. Everyone told us that we had to get some Hot Tamales before we left the area.
Now, in all fairness, I have no experience with Tamales, but we decided to give them a try. We ordered up a half dozen of Hot Tamales.
We were not impressed with them. They were bland and did not have much favoring.
Ok, we can say we tried them. And, by Tamales standards, we may have been eating some of the best. But, they fell flat for us.
Oh, if you come here, be sure to look at that stunning Sycamore tree across the street from Hot Tamale Heaven & Grill. That tree is beautiful.

Parked outside about 20 minutes early to try these famous hot tamales. Drew the shades on the truck to not disturb the employees so they could work their tamale magic. When the clock struck 11 our tamale experience ensued and we didn’t know what we were in for. We were waited on by a warm and inviting woman at the register, ordered our half dozen of these hot puppies and were out the door. Once we made it back to the truck we undressed the tamales in privacy and we indeed did go to tamale HEAVEN. Our fingers were messy and we used those saltine crackers to soak up all the delicious hot tamale au jus that drained and pooled in the box. The flavors of cayenne and chili filled our hearts and our bellies. This is a must have experience if you find yourself meandering the Mississippi Delta. Thanks tamale angels.

Such a welcoming restaurant! The food was so good that my brothers went back the following week. I’m not a huge tamale fan, but these were DELICIOUS.

Worst Hot Wings in Greenville. They are not freshly made and they are stale and hard like they were made two or more days before. They should stick to making Hot Tamales and leave the wings for Sho Nuff to make because at least they make them fresh

Drove from Indianola because I wanted some Hot Tamales and a Quesadilla. Once I made it we ended of adding wings . Spent almost $50 and the Hot Tamales had NO flavor, the wings were fried too hard to eat and the quesadilla had so much salt that it was not edible. These Hot Tamales can’t be compared to the man with the Hot Tamale Heaven food truck. Save your money and your time.

Passing Through from Texas! Miss Toya and her teams service was A1! I got the sampler plate that came with 2 tamales, 1 fried tamale, 2 sweet honey wings and a side of fries.
Best tamales I’ve have ever had in my life! Flavorful and juicy!

I just want to say I hate that I waited till 35 to finally have a hot tamale. And I must say this place has the best hands down Iv had others and it is nothing like this place hence the photo I’m uploading. I will never eat hot tamales except at Hot Tamale Heaven again if I’m out of town I’ll just wait. This is from del taco I wish I had a photo of heavens; but I just thought y’all should see how they out here hurting peoples feeling with this mess. Shout out to Hot tamala Heaven for being heaven in my mouth
