Manny and his team are absolutely amazing. I mean this literally, without him we wouldn't have had a ceremony. His team took care of all the set up, serving, food prep, bartending, and clean up so we didn't have to worry about it on our big day. All this without mentioning how amazing the food was, still weeks after our wedding people go out of their way to talk about how awesome the food was. The appetizers and tacos were perfect and the elotes were a game changer. I'll say it again Manny, thank you and your team for helping make our day special. More...

Nice, authentic Tex-Mex food. As good as anything else in this competitive neighborhood. Only bad thing is no liquor license (BYOB tho).

Tamale Spaceship popped up today!

I ordered a chicken tamale, a pork tamale, side of puerco beans (heaven!), elote, and guacamole and chips (Don't judge me! )

Absolutely authentic Mexican and absolutely delicious! ��

Seriously love this place. Everyone who works here is SO kind and really cares about the food. The tamales are impeccable, which is impressive considering how difficult they are to make in general. Sauces are FLAVORFUL and they have vegan options! Happy to have this spot in my neighborhood. More...

Love this place in general but we also used them for our wedding and they killed it! From start to finish it was a great experience. Everyone raved about the food and the service staff was so kind, generous with their energy and a highlight of the day. Manny and his team know what's up! More...

I've walked past here a few times and had always wished I had time to sit down and eat, or at least get something to go. .. because with luchadors and tamales and space, how could I lose? I finally decided to make time to go this weekend, and only wish I had done so sooner. The food was even more delicious than I had hoped. I strongly recommend trying the elote! More...

We used the Tamale Spaceship to cater our wedding last month and that turned out to be an excellent decision! The guests are still talking about how good the food was! We even added appetizers at the last minute (like less than a week before the event) and they were so delicious.

We knew we wanted Mexican food but it had to be authentic since my Husband's family comes from Mexico. Even his mom was impressed and commented several times how much she liked everything!

Manny and his crew kept our guests full and happy with ceviches, quesadillas, chicken croquetas and margaritas during the cocktail hour and then knocked everybody's socks off with cochinita pibil, pollo, fish, and chile pepper/cheese tacos, elote and puerco beans from the truck for dinner. The servers kept everything tidy and nobody went without a drink.

Tamales are huuuugggggeee. Make sure to mix them up and share. Not a fan of mole sauce and some of the variations are pretty far out there. I personally would stick with the classics. Tacos and the guac are quite superb as well. More...

Love the food here. But I wish they would put on the website when this location is closed for catering business! I walked 15 minutes and went home with no tamales the other day :(

Fun atmosphere and great food with BYOB option. They usually have a good variety of specialty tamales in addition to all the go-to regulars, and their elote is mouthwatering.

Nice people and VERY good food. Awesome tamales, awesome tacos. I can't say enough good things about tamale spaceship and tell everyone I know whenever I can. It's truly surprising to me that so many people don't know about them. More...

The store always seems really warm inside, but the food is a great take-out option. Their gluten free options are really tasty as well.

The manager is very hospitable and the other workers have always been great too. The seasonal tamale with duck confit and mole is amazing. I'd venture to say that their fish tacos are slightly better than Big Star's. BYOB. More...

Great Tacos and appetizers. I've never had Tamales before this place, so I can't be a good judge. My main love is that The Tamale Spaceship is SUPER Vegetarian friendly. They use no meat products besides the actual meat and can replace most meat options with a vegetarian replacement. More...
