" Visiting Tamale House East could be one of the best decisions I made during my Austin trip! The atmosphere feels comfortable and homey - perfect for catching up with friends! I had the pork tamale and it was flavorful, though I wanted a little more meat inside. That said, the complimentary chips were fresh and tasty. I'd return any time for the vibe alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants in Austin, but Tamale House East truly has a unique charm. The colorful decor and friendly staff made the experience wonderful. The food had such varied options, which made it hard to choose, yet I settled on their famous tamales. Although they were large, I wished they had a bit more filling; however, the salsa was delicious. Family owned since 1958 speaks volumes about their legacy! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Tamale House East after hearing rave reviews from my friends and they didn’t disappoint! The staff were excellent at ensuring we were comfortable; I loved the mix of outdoor and indoor seating. I tried the mole sauce with my chicken dish and it was divine. The portion sizes were pretty generous, although the tamales had slightly more masa than I preferred. Overall, a satisfying experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had lunch at Tamale House East and it was lovely! The environment is warm and inviting, which makes it ideal for casual dining. The chicken tacos were delightful, paired beautifully with their house-made salsa. But I did find the tamale to be a bit lacking in meat. However, the friendly service and great ambiance make it worthwhile to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tamale House East is adorable! I visited for breakfast and tried the breakfast tacos with pork, which were quite filling and flavorful. The ambiance reminded me of a charming neighborhood eatery back home. The only downside was the salsa; I expected a bit more spice. The staff were friendly and helped me choose a dish from the extensive menu. Overall, a heartwarming experience! " (*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*)
