    All home made and vegan! Many different tamales and all of them had a great taste! Best tamales I had in Mexico so far! I highly recommend the Chicharron con Salsa verde

    All vegan tamales are tasty, and the dude has a whole selection of different ones to choose from (35 pesos each for savory, 45 for sweet). However, on our first visit he was setting up 20 min late, and in our second visit he wasn't there at all!

    Wow, tell me all your secrets. That was delicious. The Chocolate & Nuez is a must to have whilst it's warm. Melt in the mouth deliciousness. I felt it was overpriced at first but then a I considered how much a good slice of vegan chocolate cake usually is in Mexico and its way cheaper in comparison. Thanks!

    Best tamales ever!!!! we've had almost all of them and they are delicious every time! My wife and I talk about your tamales all the time now that we've had them. We appreciate the love and time put into every single hot wrapped tamale! Everytime we visit downtown Merida when you are open, we will be there!!!

    What a great vegan tamale stand. So delicious.I think 40 pesos a piece is worth it because it's the most delicious vegan tamale I've ever had.

  • 5/5 Brian D. 1 year ago on Google
    Unbelievable! I happened upon this place, tamales already made but hot and absolutely awesome! Lots to choose from and they're so good they may just make you wanna slap yo mamma, or at least the nearest carnivore. I asked the woman selling them if she made them, had she said yes, I may have gotten down on a knee and proposed.

    Lovely little stall on paseo de montejo - the gentleman serving us was very friendly and helpful, highly recommend the tinga de zanahoria! If you’re vegan/vegetarian & visiting Merida you shouldn’t miss this stall, so lovely to have multiple choices of interesting tamale flavours that don’t feel like an afterthought :) muchas gracias!! I hope to visit again before we leave

    Go here if you are vegetarian!! I tried 3 different tamales and they were all excellent. The pineapple and coconut one didn’t really do it for me but all of the regular dinner style tamales were 10/10! Prices were good too. 25 pesos per tamale and you would eat maybe 3 (4 if a hungry guy) to get full.

    These tamales were some of the best food we had in our 3 weeks in Mexico, served hot by one of the loveliest people we encountered on our trip. We wish we had more time in Merida just so we could come back again and again.

    Such good vegan street food- I hadn’t been able to try tamales until I found this place - so many different options but my favourites were garbanzo con papa and the chocolate con nuez if you have a sweet tooth - go and support this stand and enjoy the delicious tamales!

    I had takeaway via Uber eats and all the Tamales I had, both savoury and sweet were awesome. Great Vegan option in Merida

    Delicious tamales! Very good value as they are really filling. I tried frijoles w hoja santa and lentejas but there are lots of options including sweet ones.

    The best tamales! I've tried almost all of them and they are all great: nopales encacahuatados, elote con rajas, chocolate con nuez are a few of my favorites. But you can't go wrong! Also generous portions and amazing people running the stand. Enjoy!

    You must go! A humble street food cart set up. The owner was really helpful and had an infectious happiness about him. Talked through all the options available (all vegan!). I was on the way to dinner plans but I HAD to go here and so glad I did. I bought a chickpea tamale (which I couldn't resist eating right away) and a chocolate-walnut one which I kept and ate the next day. Really good value, I think they were about 35pesos each. My only regret, I wasn't in Merida longer to try all the options. Love that they're wrapped in Banana leaf too, really sustainable.

    Amazing! We will be back weekly for your tamales! I am so glad I found this place. I've had vegan tamales all over Mexico and these are the best!
