Hi, sorry you found them closed. I checked and they are closed for construction until August. I have updated the listing.

nice little spot - Edit

Cool spot!! Buffet line had vegan tamales plus the Spanish rice and black beans was vegan. Also had vegan lime tortilla soup without cheese. Beverages included plus also a vegan dessert option. Super nice and vegan friendly staff here. $14 buffet cost for all you can eat.

don't sleep on this place! - Edit

I've been vegan for about 6 months and oh how I have missed tamales! This place is sooo good! Went during the buffet times and loved everything! Great place to take your non-vegan friends as well!

Uh, yeah! - Edit

I visited their location today because I happened to be in Fort Worth. It has been a couple of years or so since I was there. I was surprised to see that they have taken up a large portion of the building to the west. It used to be a VERY small space that they had. When I commented on how much space they had the employee told me that they now have an all you can eat lunch buffet with tamales, rice, beans, veggies, tortilla soup, sauce, and dessert for $12. I decided to eat lunch there instead of just taking my tamales home. OMG! I was worried about Vegan options, but the rice, beans, salsa, veggies and sauce were all vegan. They had vegan tamales in the buffet that were very good. The employee fixed up a tortilla soup without cheese for me. I can't tell you how good it all was! You should really go there, it can't be beat!

Pros: All sides are vegan., Soup is vegan if you ask for no cheese.

Good veg-friendly option - Edit

I discovered Hot Damn Tamales one day when Spiral Diner was closed and i fired up the the HappyCow app to check for a nearby alternative.

A small family business, run very well by a mother-son team, Hot Damn Tamales is an unusual find in Texas: tamales with vegan options and good flavor. On my visit in December 2012, the menu had more meat-free tamales than meaty ones, and there were two vegan choices. Both of the vegan tamales were really good, and i especially liked the poblano-corn one. I took some home to our omnivorous houseguests from Oaxaca and they were impressed, too.

I wish it were vegetarian-only, but at least they are genuinely veg*n-friendly, which is rare in Ft Worth, and they are super-friendly.

Note that some of the tamales are meant to be served either with salsa or something else to add some moisture, and they can be a bit dry if eaten alone. Ask the owner for serving suggestions.

There's parking both on the street and in the lot behind.

Pros: some vegan tamales, good flavor, very friendly owner

Cons: also serves meat

Amazing Tamales - Edit

MMMM! Soo good they have a clearly marked selection of vegan tamales. You can order them in a package frozen or have your choice of three along with a side of rice and beans for the tamale plate. We ordered the plate and ate our meal in their small three booth dining area which was nice. I will for sure go back again.

Pros: good food, descent pricing

Cons: not enough seating
