Review of Fat Mama's Tamales

Ok first… they do NOT have a GF menu, OR a designated fryer & they do NOT have a designated cook/prep area. Normally, any one of those things alone would have turned us away. Despite all of this, we ate here & hubby did not get sick. Here’s how….. We stopped by the location the day before we ate & inquired about all of the above. (We always do extensive homework before eating anywhere) The tamales are made off site & sent frozen and marked in a GF bag! They are cooked (steamed) & come to your table still wrapped in the corn husk. They don’t touch anything in the kitchen! The fryer for their chips share with flour tortillas- SO - they said we could bring in our OWN store bought/bag of chips! ♥ We ordered 12 tamales, cheese dip, salsa (for our chips!) & 2 drinks. (Tab was $24 before tip.) Everything was SOooooo delicious!!!!

I wouldn’t trust anything else there…. But if you do what we did, you will be just fine.

Shout out to FAT MAMAS for letting us bring in our own GF chips & not getting bent out of shape.
