The Lady Tamales - Carson City

We placed a large order for our family's Christmas game night, and it was fantastic. The tamales were the standout dish, while the enchiladas were incredibly cheesy and delicious. I highly recommend this place for both big and small orders – the staff is wonderful, and the atmosphere is friendly.

I haven't purchased tamales from here in a while, and the reason is that each time I did, they were mostly masa with barely any meat. I'm talking about a very thin strip of meat in each tamale. I went back last week, and it was the same situation. I suppose nothing has changed.

They are celebrating their 20th anniversary, and they serve the best tamales around!

Tried two of each chicken and pork red salsa tamales. Meat in both tamales was well seasoned and tasty with plenty of sauce inside as well. The masa was also well seasoned and flavorful in both. Moisture was perfect with my preferred masa consistency. Served with a side of green salsa that was delicious. Transplant from the Arizona Mexican border I've been in the Reno/Carson area for over 7 years. I've tried street vendor tamales, fundraising tamales, tamales from local restaurants, my all-time disappointment, FB marketplace $30 a dozen tamales. The Lady Tamales By far, the best tamales in this area I've tasted with the best per dozen prices.

I discovered this restaurant in Dayton while passing through, and since I love tamales, I had to stop in. The man at the counter was very friendly. I ordered two dozen tamales to take with me, and he quickly prepared them all for my trip. He even offered me two tamales on a heated plate with some salsa verde to taste. They were fantastic! It's a shame I live in Maine, or I would come here every chance I got.
