Family-Perfected Recipes
At Tamale House East you will delight in an eclectic and delicious Mexican food experience for such a low price that it will shock you..in a good way! Tamale House East is operated by five siblings and is part of a family tradition that has been ongoing since 1959. Since that time some version of a Tamale House has existed in several Austin locations, each one run by different family members, and all of them making Austin Mexican food lovers very happy. And now half a century later we have Tamale House East, and a plethora of mouth-watering, stomach-pleasing tacos, tamales, mole, and more.
