Tamale Kitchen

This is a small, family-run speciality business tucked away in the back left corner of a rural grocery store. It is the kind of place you go to for good food, not for fancy atmosphere. It is a simple layout where Mom takes your order, Dad whips the food together and then he hands it back to you in a white Styrofoam takeout box. Together they do an excellent job. A few days ago a friend and stopped in for my first visit. I had a generous chicken burrito while my buddy had four tamales. He still raves about them. The next week we went back for more but Mom and Dad were gone to tend to a family matter. You want something to drink with your tamale? Get whatever you like up front at the grocery store's checkout counter.

Just enjoyed some Tamales. Thanks so much David. Located in grocery store on the corner of DAv. and Douglas Av. Perfect location. And lovely family.

I got chicken tamales with rice and beans, so delicious! Plus these guys were so friendly, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Premium Authentic Tamale Kitchen YOU have to go! Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Kalamazoo. The service is unmatched. It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The carnitas tacos and their tamales are to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! Everything we tasted melted in our mouths. The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. The Staff know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, they make great recommendations and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.

Amazing tamale dinner. They accommodated me with one pork and one chicken tamale with rice and beans. I also got the red sauce and a sour cream on the side but was definitely not needed because the flavor was all in the food. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who's in the area very good food very reasonable prices. I was definitely full after my $6 lunch. I really enjoyed the food I ordered.

If you love mexican food you have to stop here on D Ave. The food is amazing and delicious. The pork Tamales and beans and rice are amazing. The owner is passionate about what he does and it shows. I would be honored to work for a respectable and courteous man like him.

I got the 2 chicken tamale combo with rice and beans, with a nice side of sauce. Everything is delicious! They are so kind and you can tell they love what they make.

I never really liked tamales until I came and met David at the Cooper market on d avenue and Douglas. Homemade Grandma's recipe. Amazing!
