Tamale Kitchen

Best beans in Denver. Delicious food always!!

I get the same thing every time I go, Usually about 3 times a week! My fries are almost always crispy. Chili is pretty consistent and hot at times like I like it. It's really a go-to for me. Only tamale kitchen I will eat at. The others aren't as good.

Cheese fries!!

I love the food here, but I will always go to another location. The food is always quality here, but they're VERY shady about their paychecks. I had a friend work here and she had issues with them clearly scalping her paychecks. She was paying up to 35% of her paycheck in taxes and other fees. When she showed me her paystubs, it looked very fishy. They were very spotty about communicating with her on breaking down her paystubs so it was time for her to leave. What stood out the most was that they were NOT withholding taxes for her, she was doing that herself. So why were they pulling taxes if she was told to do it herself? Very sketchy, very immoral, and I assume they do this to people all the time.

The order takers always make mistakes when you order. Make sure to double check at register and when you leave. Also they charge Xtra if you pay with card and less if you pay with cash. They never ever answer the phone to call in take out which is frustrating. Food is good but almost not worth all this hassle anymore.

Ordered half a dozen red and green tamales, which, albeit on the smaller side, were pretty good considering price. The green ones were in my opinion, much better than the reds, would strongly recommend getting more of the greens if you're buying in bulk since they sell half dozen and dozen options.

I knew the tamales were fantastic based on a past experience. Got some for my wife while I was in the area. Got a dozen tamales to go and a frito pie for myself. Absolutely wonderful frito pie.
