"This business is at the local farmer's market and always has a line. I like tamales and talked the wife into getting a dozen to take home. We picked out a variety to try, and although the man working the booth told us what they were as he bagged them up we were left on our own to decipher them once home. It would have helped if the wrappers were marked in some way. Oh well, that's on us I suppose.Some of the tamales were very tasty and loaded with the good stuff. Others were more masa and very little of the good stuff, causing there to be minimal to no flavor. We were very disappointed in those ones we received. I have had better tamales, overall, for sure.Yes, I may buy from the Tamale Guy again if I have a hankering at the moment; and eat it there at the farmer's market, but not to take home for a planned meal. Overall I'd say the tamales were OK (3 stars), although they could've been better (2 stars)."

Do not buy. We tried them at the farmers market and they taste nothing like tamales. Extra dry and not flavorful at all. Very disappointed especially for the price.

Great vegan tamales, but they usually only have one or two of the vegan options available at any one time. If you want more of a selection, it's better to order ahead. View menu

When I visited, there were only two options available, but they were both excellent. It's challenging to find well-made vegan tamales, and these did not disappoint. Definitely worth a stop!

I've had their tamales a few times at the Murrieta Farmer's Market and they're really good. Their vegan tamales are: potato veggie, red bean, cactus jalapeno, and soyrizo. Updated from previous review on 2022-02-06

I've tried their tacos a few times at the Murrieta Farmers Market, and they're fantastic. Their vegan tamales include Potato Veggie, Red Bean, Cactus Jalapeño, and Soyrizo. This is an update from my previous rating on February 6, 2022. View menu

The Jalapeño Cheese Tamale was delicious! The restaurant was busy, but I was in and out in just 10 minutes. The cashier was very friendly and answered all my questions. Keep in mind that there's no seating available, so if you’re looking for a place to sit down, this isn’t it.

This restaurant has some amazing vegan options! I ordered the two tamales combo—one with soy chorizo and the other with potato and vegetables. Both were delicious! The beans and rice were great too, with just the right amount of spice. The customer service was excellent, and I placed my order over the phone. It's a takeout spot, so there's no dining in, but I will definitely be returning!

"This review is strictly on the service as the food has remained consistently good. I've also taken as much time as possible to allow for as an objective experience as possible. When the owners/staff are speaking animatedly and with more energy with other Indian patrons who are sitting at the bar--whether or not they are family friends, etc, but go completely silent when they serve, that's a red flag. I was in the mood for Indian food and was in the area running errands, so I decided to stop by. I didn't really think much of the interaction initially when I walked in and was seated, but this question is directed mainly at the man and woman whom I've seen the last two times I've been here. Is there a reason for the difference in demeanor? There was another family who came in and were seated for dinner shortly before I left, and I noticed they were treated the same way--with complete silence. I'd consider this a nuance of this place specifically since I've been to Indian restaurants in Diamond Bar, Ontario, and Pomona, and there are distinctly more interactive. I wouldn't consider this a nuance of introversion based on what I've seen or heard. I'm not looking to have a heart-to-heart conversation but at least have a basic level of interaction like a thank you or welcome. I thanked the man each time my water was refilled, and I also said thank you when leaving. NO REPLY at any point, and this is not an exaggeration or embellishment of the experience. This has been consistent. If you're going to order for takeout, you're fine. If you're good with silence, you're fine too. I'll stick with Curryland in Pomona. That's a rougher part of Pomona in a small and dense parking lot. The food there is just as good, and least there's an inkling of customer service. I'm done with this place."

"It 's not technically a secret menu item, but you need to let them know ahead of time (by at least a few days) if you want to order the Beef Wellington. You might assume that this means it is of a quality that is uniquely exquisite, and I can assure you that this assumption is 100% correct. This dish is literally made in part by a pastry-chef, and the moment you take a bite of the absurdly-delicate shell of I-don 't-even-know-what, you 'll understand why you have to arrange for this sort of treatment: it 's like an opera in your mouth. Underneath that mantle of what I assume is an elevated form of dough reserved for the better seats in heaven, there is a mushroom duxelle that I 'm quite certain would qualify for the dictionary entry if you were to look up the word unctious. Then, the filet. Is there an adequate word in the English language for a perfect medium-rare steak? The best part is that you actually have to be reminded that you 're eating an exquisite piece of beef underneath all of these charms, and it 's only responsible to forewarn you that dipping it in the au jus with which it 's served might just awaken you to a level of luxury you will struggle to equal in other establishments. I won 't even mention how good the wagyu-truffle ravioli was, or how their wedge-salad is served with fully a 3 oz triangle of delicately veined roquefort (bleu cheese) and bacon-bits made of *actual, perfectly cured smoky bits of bacon*. Point being: if you eat meat, this is something you should put on your bucket list. You 're not going to find a better meal anytime soon, after all. 10/10, would recommend."
