" On a friend's recommendation, I tried Tamale House East and it was delightful! From the friendly greeting upon arrival to the last bite of my meal, everything was pleasant. The inside feels warm and welcoming, which is great for larger groups as well! I really enjoyed their fish tacos; they were light and fresh. However, the salsa could use a little more kick! Nonetheless, it was a good time overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a passionate taco lover, I was excited to try Tamale House East based on reviews. After dining there, I have to say it was an experience! The atmosphere felt very homey, providing a perfect backdrop for enjoying meals with friends. The tacos were good, but I found them a bit underseasoned for my taste. While I loved the surrounding decor, my expectations for flavor were not entirely met. Perhaps it's worth exploring more menu options next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Tamale House East a few times, and I must say that the food is consistently decent but varies a bit in seasoning. The atmosphere is inviting and quirky, with vibrant decor and a lovely outdoor patio. I particularly loved their carnitas tacos. However, one visit I had a tamale that was mostly masa and lacked sufficient filling. The service has always been friendly though, making me feel welcome. Overall a good spot to grab a casual bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes going to Tamale House East, given all the buzz, but I left a little disappointed. The environment is indeed lovely, with vibrant decor and a welcoming feel, but the food didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I found the tamales enjoyable but not exceptional, mostly filled with masa and not much meat. The salsas were fresh, but the chicken taco was dry. Service was acceptable, but I expected a bit more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my experience at Tamale House East! The energy in the restaurant is very welcoming, and the outdoor seating is particularly charming. I tried their seafood options and found them fresh and delicious. The margaritas were a delight as well! However, I noticed that the tamales were quite large but lacked meat in comparison. The service was quick, which was appreciated, considering how busy they were! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated a birthday at Tamale House East with friends, and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was lively with a fun vibe, and the outdoor seating area is a gem. We ordered a bit of everything, and the vegan enchiladas were a hit among our group. Each dish was bursting with authentic flavors. The margaritas were refreshing too! The service was quick and attentive, which made the entire evening enjoyable. This place definitely gets my stamp of approval! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tamale House East is definitely an Austin staple! I brought my family here, and we tried a bit of everything. The outdoor seating area was a beautiful spot to relax while enjoying our meal! Everything we ordered had great flavor, but I wish I had known that the tamales were more massive than I’d envisioned. While the masa was good, I wanted to see more filling. Regardless, the experience overall was fabulous! " (*Curated Review*)
