Order NowJorge Peñaloza y su familia opened The Tamale Joint right here in Garden Oaks/Oak Forest with a simple idea of bringing real authentic Mexican street food, not Tex-Mex, to the neighborhood.
Everything here is rooted in family, recetas de casa, passed down, cooked fresh, and served up the right way. From our hand-wrapped tamales to street tacos, quesabirria, empanadas, enchiladas, tortas, that you don’t see everywhere, we make food that feels like home.
At The Tamale Joint, we serve up all your Mexican street food favorites, llenos de sabor y tradición. From street tacos hot off the grill, to Mexican style tortas, elote en vaso covered in crema, queso, and chile. There’s something for everyone in the family. Join us in the mornings for breakfast tacos, huevos rancheros, or chilaquiles. Or swing by later for your favorites tamales, tacos, y más.
Good food, good vibes, and always great service!
