I wasnt greeted when I walked in but I was greeted at the counter. Great customer service. The bathroom was clean. My food was made to order so it was a small wait. There were chairs available while I waited. I ordered two tacos and a tamale. I live 40m away so I wasnt able to eat the food hot but it was still good.

Service was quick and friendly. The food was delicious. If you want to have your pick of tamales I recommend you go early or call in your order. Definitely a west side little treasure for some great tamales .

If you want authentic tamales, this is probably your best bet in Indy. They have a large selection of different tamales, with different meats and spice levels. The plates also come with a healthy portion of rice, beans and chips. I found that a single tamale meal was more than enough food for lunch. I tried a chicken tamale which was very flavorful and you could tell it was made fresh. The place itself is on the small side, so you may struggle to find seating at busy times. Service was friendly and the food came out super quickly.

I live in WI and stop here every time I am headed to KY. Excellent tamales. These have ruined every other tamale for me.

A storefront in a strip mall, the Tamale Place is an interesting location. Inside, order at the counter and it doesn’t take long for them to pull your tamales, plate them and you’re ready to eat.
The current selection is on the board and I chose the “Hot & Spicy Pork” and a “Bean and Rice.” A good mix as the hot and spicy was indeed both hot and spicy. It was very helpful to have a regular with some carbs to cut some of that heat.
I am not a tamale expert and so I can’t say that these were fantastic or that they exceeded expectations. But they were tasty, a big portion and I enjoyed them.

Hot damn! What a find in Indianapolis! Amazing authentic tamales that taste incredible. If you’re a fan of Mexican food and have never been do yourself a favor and get down here! Poblano chili is my favorite and you can’t go wrong with chicken and red sauce.

The food here was fantastic! The flavors were well thought out. People say less is more and that’s true here. This is no bells and whistles food that’s way above average-delectable really. The staff patient for the new guy reading the menu and friendly.

Love THE Tamale place. Some of the best tamales I’ve ever had. Great tacos too. I come to Indy 2-4x per year for racing events or trade shows and make it a point to stop here at least once every trip.
