My favorite tamales in the city. Chicken, pork, and veggie are all fire. Even sometimes have the dessert one.
Love him He also helped me get into my car when I got locked out 😭and the best food!
The best Clark Street flavorful and have lots of meat.
Love the tamales here, great guy too.
Tamales are very dry and are not very good. They are also pretty small.

Note: "Tamale Man" is a food cart, not a restaurant. He usually sells out by midday, so don't wait for lunch to get your tamales! $1.50 each for the best tamales around.
