Alamo Tamale Company, Mexican restaurant in East End, Houston, United States.
Alamo Tamale Company prepares fresh tamales and tacos daily using spices ground in-house, with locations at Berry Road and Houston Farmers Market. The kitchen handles ingredient processing by hand to ensure freshness and quality in every dish.
The restaurant was founded in 1960 in San Antonio before relocating to Houston and expanding to multiple locations. Family recipes remained unchanged through these moves and generational transitions.
This establishment embodies Mexican culinary tradition through handmade tamales offered in varieties like pork, chicken, beef, jalapeno cheese, and seasonal sweet options.
The restaurant opens early in the morning and closes in the evening, making it accessible at different times of day. Wheelchair access is available and online ordering is accepted.
The kitchen grinds whole spices fresh for each batch of tamales rather than using pre-ground spices. This hands-on process follows preparation methods passed down through the family for decades.
