Good, but need more options and fillings

The vegan tamale was good, and the sauces were great, but I would have liked a filling instead of just masa. The vegetables in it are good, but I just wanted something like beans to add some variety. The sauces honestly are very good and make it worth it, though.

Pros: Great texture and sauces

Cons: Just one option

Glad they have an option

Make vegan side options. Make more vegan tamales so you can sell them in bulk like the regular.

Pros: Vegan option

Cons: Rice and beans aren’t vegan, They don’t make a lot, vegan option runs out

Vegetables in masa to capitalize on mainstream veganism

I appreciate the effort to have a vegan tamale, but I was very disappointed to drive all the way to garland for vegan tamales when they only had one lackluster tamale that was not very good. When an establishment provides a thoughtless vegan item, they would be better off having nothing.

The Masa itself had a good taste with the vegetables mixed in, but no one wants to just eat Masa with no filling. By the time I was done my mouth was extremely dry. And still hungry despite being gigantic in size. I was left disappointed.

My husband said his chicken tamales were decent.

Pros: 1 vegan tamale option, Big size, Good location for parking

Cons: Expensive for what it is, No filling in the tamale, Taste is mediocre at best.

I can only give 4 stars.. boo!!! Anyway loved the salsa and vegan tamales!!

They’re doing great as a company but to offer vegan tamales that are delicious is another thing. I loved them.

Update added. Always out of vegan tamales

I’ve called ahead 3 times with weeks between each call and they are always out of the vegan option.

Update: I finally got to try the vegan tamales today!! They’re delicious!!! I wish they would add soyriso so it’s not just veggies, but the flavor is AMAZING!! ❤️

If it’s selling, why aren’t they making more to meet demand?

Vegan tamales all day!

The fresh vegan tamales are delicious and FILLING. The veggie ones are huge -- the size equivalent of 3 regular tamales. The veggies are mixed into the masa so it's not a filling on the inside. Clearly labeled and staff can help you find what you need.

Pros: Huge vegan tamales

Cons: Limited options
