    Disappointing communication

    Echoing what's already been said, we hoped to use Tamale Boy for our wedding but unfortunately their catering communication is non-existent. They will not reply to emails or phone calls.

    Non responsive and flaky

    Three people involved in my wedding have tried reaching out via email and phone for the last 5 months and have had almost no responses from Tamale Boy. I was finally replied to and told they would reach out first thing and it's been days with nothing. I would caution against this company unless you have established communication with them! It's really surprising given all their good reviews and pretty disappointing.

    Amazing food, we loved it & our guests loved it.

    Working with Tamale Boy was exactly what we needed for our wedding day. The team kept communication straightforward and got everything done right on schedule, which gave us peace of mind leading up to the event. On the day itself, they set up cleanly and worked upstairs during our ceremony to organize everything for a smooth transition to the reception—they really paid attention to what we wanted. The food was incredible; we served green enchiladas with chicken and red enchiladas with birria, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how good it was. They also nailed the horchata and jamaica, which were honestly chef's kiss. If you're looking for a caterer who delivers professional food and service without the stress, Tamale Boy is the way to go.

    Great food, great service!

    We used Tamale Boy for our wedding caterer and they were fantastic! We emailed back and forth a ton before the big day and they were prompt and flexible when we had several changes to make. On our wedding day they showered up right on time and did a great job. They were in charge of flipping our space which they did a great job of. The food was SO good and all of our guests commented on how yummy everything was.

    Delicious Food for Our Wedding

    Tamale Boy provided a good catering experience for our wedding—the food and service on the day-of were both outstanding. As their season got busier, there were a few communication delays, and one taco order needed to be adjusted the day before, but everything still went smoothly. I would gladly recommend them as a caterer.
