Tamale Co. Modern Mexican Kitchen & Bar

**Took extra care with my allergies.** Easy to eat dairy and gluten free here, just ask your server for swaps. They usually have vegan cheese available too. I had the black bean tamales. Super delicious, and a great value. Portion size was huge. They’ve got some amazing house made hot sauce (available on request so be sure to ask for it!). There’s a nice patio, if you’re looking to eat outside. Absolutely recommend this place! We will be back.

I had an amazing experience at Tamale Co. in College Park—truly five-star service, flavor-packed food, and an infectious, upbeat vibe. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making the whole visit feel special. Their tamales? Absolutely stellar – fresh, fluffy masa wrapped around generous fillings with just the right amount of spice. I also loved the variety of vegan options, like nopales and black-bean tamales, clearly labeled and delicious. The atmosphere is casual yet trendy, with both indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for enjoying a margarita or agua fresca in the Florida sun. Bonus points for their churros and horchata—sweet, refreshing, and ideal for pairing with tamales. What others rave about resonates with my experience: authentic flavors reminiscent of real, homemade Mexican street food, a lively and friendly staff, and thoughtful attention to dietary preferences (vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free). It’s a local gem with stellar food, great service, and a community feel. I can’t wait to go back!
