Great owner, had a nice talk with him and definitely should support this local restaurant. The place was nice and clean and my food came out quick, hot and fast!! My food needed some seasoning to it but it was good. I recommend the fish tacos! Nice portion size. Will be back.

If you’re in or near the near-west-side, Tamales Etc. is a cool lil local taco/tamale spot. This place has a modest menu, hittin the basics and keepin the prices reasonable. They’re on top of the on-trend menu items like birria tacos with consomme, Hot Cheeto burritos, asada fries, elote (street corn), churros, etc. The service at Tamales Etc. is excellent. The facility is modest, but if you’ve grown up with a good little taco shop in your neighborhood, you’re going to feel right at home.

The tamales are very inexpensive for their size; tamales would only be okay-tasting without using the excellent hot sauces. The stand-alone quality of the tacos is better, although they’re ~50% more expensive. Orders of tamales and tacos should provide around 1 lb (16 ounces) of food in quantity; side orders of rice will probably be slightly under 2 lbs in food.
The dining area could be called cozy, but also could be called tiny; ordering as take out is probably often wise. The dining room had a TV with a provided remote, plus a kind of fan; unsure if they use AC much. There’s also a small, clean restroom.
Service has been efficient and welcoming.

Tamales etc. Never misses the mark! The Shrimp tacos are a household favorite… but only because the fish tacos are not a daily offering. And I respect the logic… they serve the fish tacos when they can get fresh fish and there’s a specific fish they use. But we love the burritos, Quesadillas, rice and the Birria tacos too. The service is always good even when taking phone orders. We often have a special orders, and they always ask questions to make sure the food is made just the way we want it. And most importantly… they follow through!

Fantastic food, priced well and always super nice people. I’ve been coming here for a couple years now and will KEEP coming back to support their business. You could get anything from the menu and they make sure it’s hot & fresh when you receive it. Picture is of carne asada fries I’d gotten recently.

No shrimp, Guac or burgers today was a strange start to my experience. Nice servers. No AC and very small eat in area. Had mexi fries and steak bits were chewy and not so plentiful.
Not sure why it’s a 4.8 star rating. More like a 3.8.

This is a cozy little joint that if you weren’t looking for it , you’d pass it. The tamales were delicious but the Mexican pizza was the star of the show because when we got home we ate 60% of it already
