    "Lovely little stall on paseo de montejo - the gentleman serving us was very friendly and helpful, highly recommend the tinga de zanahoria! If you’re vegan/vegetarian & visiting Merida you shouldn’t miss this stall, so lovely to have multiple choices of interesting tamale flavours that don’t feel like an afterthought :) muchas gracias!! I hope to visit again before we leave"

You must go! A humble street food cart set up. The owner was really helpful and had an infectious happiness about him. Talked through all the options available (all vegan!). I was on the way to dinner plans but I HAD to go here and so glad I did. I bought a chickpea tamale (which I couldn't resist eating right away) and a chocolate-walnut one which I kept and ate the next day. Really good value, I think they were about 35pesos each. My only regret, I wasn't in Merida longer to try all the options. Love that they're wrapped in Banana leaf too, really sustainable.

Estos son sin duda los mejores tamales en Mérida. Ya sea que seas vegano o no, es un crímen no hacer parada cuando visitas Paseo de Montejo. Todos son sabrosos pero los de chicharron en salsa verde se vuelven vicio. El servicio es excelente y hay facilidades de pagar en efectivo o hacer transferencias. Otro plus es que casi siempre haces amigos en la fila

Unbelievable! I happened upon this place, tamales already made but hot and absolutely awesome! Lots to choose from and they're so good they may just make you wanna slap yo mamma, or at least the nearest carnivore. I asked the woman selling them if she made them, had she said yes, I may have gotten down on a knee and proposed.

Best tamales ever!!!! we've had almost all of them and they are delicious every time! My wife and I talk about your tamales all the time now that we've had them. We appreciate the love and time put into every single hot wrapped tamale! Everytime we visit downtown Merida when you are open, we will be there!!!

  • abigail mcduff

Wow, tell me all your secrets. That was delicious. The Chocolate & Nuez is a must to have whilst it's warm. Melt in the mouth deliciousness. I felt it was overpriced at first but then a I considered how much a good slice of vegan chocolate cake usually is in Mexico and its way cheaper in comparison. Thanks!

  • Nick

Go here if you are vegetarian!! I tried 3 different tamales and they were all excellent. The pineapple and coconut one didn’t really do it for me but all of the regular dinner style tamales were 10/10! Prices were good too. 25 pesos per tamale and you would eat maybe 3 (4 if a hungry guy) to get full.

  • Sheila Xie

What a great vegan tamale stand. So delicious.I think 40 pesos a piece is worth it because it's the most delicious vegan tamale I've ever had.

Such good vegan street food- I hadn’t been able to try tamales until I found this place - so many different options but my favourites were garbanzo con papa and the chocolate con nuez if you have a sweet tooth - go and support this stand and enjoy the delicious tamales!

  • Jorge Larios

Los tamales son deliciosos, estilo CDMX en hoja de mazorca, suaves, jugosos y deliciosos como deben de ser, gracias por añadir éste producto al consumidor vegano, dificil de encontrar pero merece la pena

The best tamales! I've tried almost all of them and they are all great: nopales encacahuatados, elote con rajas, chocolate con nuez are a few of my favorites. But you can't go wrong! Also generous portions and amazing people running the stand. Enjoy!

  • Michael Greer

All vegan tamales are tasty, and the dude has a whole selection of different ones to choose from (35 pesos each for savory, 45 for sweet). However, on our first visit he was setting up 20 min late, and in our second visit he wasn't there at all!

  • Sam Burnham

These tamales were some of the best food we had in our 3 weeks in Mexico, served hot by one of the loveliest people we encountered on our trip. We wish we had more time in Merida just so we could come back again and again.

  • Ignacio Munoz Corona

Los mejores tamales veganos que he probado en mi vida! :) Amo el de chocolate y chicharrón. La próxima vez que vaya iré seguro por unos y comprare para comer de regreso en GDL :) (no hay tamales veganos así de bueno aquí)

  • Konstantin Schröck

Los tamalitos están deliciosos, mi favorito fue el de picadillo de lentejas. Tienen buen tamaño y valen mucho la pena, especialmente por el hecho de que son veganos…
