Are you tired of subpar mexican cuisine? Does your body yearn for authentic, flavorful tamales? Look no further! Los hernández tamales delivers. The tamales were soft, flavorful and the salsa was delicious as well. We got the lunch special which was 2 tamales of your choice, rice, beans and salsa. The pork tamale was our favorite for the day. The restaurant is small so don’t bring a group larger than 4 to the restaurant and if it’s busy, you might not find a table. We came in the early afternoon and got a table. Service is fast and friendly. You can even buy frozen tamales to take home and cook or give as a gift to your tamale loving friends.

I read about how this is such an amazing tamale place, along with the James Beard award, which made me want to stop in when I was doing work in Yakima for the week.
I called ahead and asked about frozen tamales and was treated very well and the lady on the phone was helpful and nice. I got there and the service was very much the same.
I ordered a dozen frozen chicken tamales to go and a couple chicken hot for there. The ones I had in person were just kind of average tamales. Nothing to make me amazed. I’m not sure if it was just an off day but they were a little on the dry side and not even fully hot, so I’m not sure if they had just sat and then were plated? They weren’t bad they just were ok.
I’m excited to try the ones I picked up frozen. But kind of sad the fresh ones were kind of boring. Maybe if I had done the asparagus ones, that would have been a different story since they were hyped up.

We stop at this place for the lunch every time we pass through the Yakima area. A few years, they won the James Beard award for their tamales. The beans are also excellent. There are only two or three tables inside, but there’s a nice city park about three blocks away with restrooms. Staff who work here are very friendly. They usually have frozen tamales for you to take home.

A must-go place in Yakima, very delicious!
For dine-in you can mix with the same price category. I did 3 pork and 3 chicken.
The cactus tamale is very good, we prefer this over asparagus.
The frozen tamales are in 6-pack

As a winner of the James Beard “America’s Classics” award, a restaurant has to be family-owned, operating for over a decade, and serve “quality food that reflects the character of its community.” Los Hernandez seems to check all of those boxes. The interior was cute and homey, and tamales were delicious. I got the lunch combo with asparagus and pepperjack tamales and felt that the texture of the asparagus was an excellent replacement for meat. The masa had great moisture and texture too. It was a bit expensive and I felt like the salsa quantity provided was too little, but otherwise a great experience.

I got the chicken tamales. For me they were okay, for a tourist or non-latin person they might be more than okay. They were fresh, warm and moist.
When you taste homemade tamales and see the corn getting grinded before your eyes it’s hard to find good tamales anywhere else.
The rice and beans was nothing to brag about. Plain Jane beans.

Pepper Jack and Asparagus tamales.
Soo good. Super friendly and vegetarian options. They have a freezer so you can grab some for later. Stopping on the way back for more.

I tried Los Hernandez Tamals in Union Gap, Washington in May 2019. I originally tried to visit in September 2018, only to discover that the days of business had changed. For eight months, all I could think about were those tamales. Knowing this business won a James Beard award in January 2018, I couldn’t wait to try them. When I was able to finally visit, I ordered an Asparagus tamale and a Pork tamale to try on site, with the intention of ordering a larger quantity of one or both, to take with me. I couldn’t have been more disappointed. I’m not sure what the problem was with the masa,, but it was overly stiff and wet. Neither tamale had much flavor. Even with the house salsa added to it, there just wasn’t enough flavor to make we want to finish eating the tamales. I don’t know if my experience was a one off or not, but I haven’t been sufficiently motivated to return and give this business a second try.

Tiny little restaurant in a tiny little town. Drove 5 hrs to get authentic Tamales. Unfortunately they didn’t have the asparagus one as it’s a seasonal one and it wasn’t in season yet. But tried the cactus and pork tamales. The cactus & pepper Jack I found a bit too dry for my taste. The pork one was much better. It was my first time ever trying Tamales, and I gotta admit it’s one of those acquired taste foods.
But the ladies at the restaurant were super friendly and great. For Tamales lovers I’d definitely recommend this place, they are worth the drive.
