Breakfast tamales are less calories than Breakfast burrito and quicker as they premade like regular tamales. Only available on weekends though.

My granddaughter and I decided to try this place because of good ratings. We were not disappointed! I had the red pork tamale breakfast combo. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the beans were delicious. The masa on the tamale was the perfect texture and the chile was so good. My granddaughter got the chorizo breakfast burrito which was huge. It was full of meat, 2 eggs, potatoes (but not over filled with potatoes like most places). She could only eat about half of it. It was $20. For the two of us breakfast that more than filled us up and sustained us for the entire day of shopping while in Mesa.

Excellent food! Even something as simple as a bean burrito is so delicious from this restaurant. Their tamales are authentic and amazing. I highly recommend those as well!

Oh my gosh!! Great tasting tamales similar like grandma made. My family is from Chihuahua so I can relate to the style cooking. Jennifer greeted you with a smile, recommenced what to order and served the food. I tried green Chile chicken, corn, red chile beef, green Chile with cheese, and sweet tamales. The owner came out and engaged in a conversation with me. Very nice place!! Highly recommend visiting Old El Paso Tamales!!

Green corn, red chili , pork tamales. Best tamales in all Phoenix and Mesa, Az. Beans and rice are good too. I suggest 2 eggs over easy with a pork tamale, you'll not regret it.

Tamales are delicious but expensive. Service is very slow and they often run out of everything so go early.

Young man running the business single handedly. Very courteous. Right now lines form. Good but suggestion: remove seeds from green chili. Thanks!

The tamales were delicious! Unfortunately, they were out of pork as well as chicken and bean tamales for the next few days, so we had to adjust our order for six people. Despite that, everything we tried was great, and I’ll definitely be returning — the food is worth it!

If these are the best tamales in town, then I feel sorry for everyone living in this neighborhood. I’m for Texas and our tamales are PACKED with flavor. These lack flavor, the cheese in the chicken ones is practically gummy. Green salsa was good, sweet corn tamale okay and the pork was COMPLETELY season less. No taste at all, definitely NOT worth their prices. Atomsphere - just take it to go Service - slight language barrier between myself and cashier

What happens with this place, tamales used to be so good, stop the other day and bought 6 tamales for 26 dollars witch it's crazy, but i thought it was worth it, when home and the tamales barely had flavor and dry like a tortilla... please bring the old cook back.!!

I went in there, thinking I was going to get a large tamale with some sauce, and maybe a little bit of cheese or topping for the money. They just handed me a small tamale.In a bag for like six dollars.It was way too expensive.

This is the place you go if you want poor customer service, inconsistent food quality, and a menu where the items you actually want are probably not available. The seating is cheap, the soda machine looks like it hasn’t been updated in years, the flooring is worn out, and the tamale prices are the highest in Mesa, all decisions that start with the owner. That’s the wild part, the owner who has kids sets these prices and lets all these issues slide, while running a family business in a neighborhood where the average family is just trying to afford a dozen tamales for their kids. It’s not right. If you want to charge Scottsdale prices, then go open up shop in Scottsdale, Downtown Chandler, Downtown Tempe, Downtown Phoenix, or Glendale, places where that price tag actually matches the area. I make two times the average salary in the United States, and even I look at these prices and shake my head. This is the exact type of business I dont support. Supporting local spots is important to me, but price and value matter, especially in this neighborhood. When your product, service, and atmosphere don’t match the cost, that’s on ownership, period. If you want better tamales, better service, better pricing, and an actual neighborhood friendly vibe, go to Susie’s. Cheaper tamales, better food, better atmosphere, and you get chips and salsa.
