CC's Hot Tamales and BBQ

Very casual atmosphere. It’s a food truck with specialty tamales. The guy who took our order was super friendly. We had the oxtail and also brisket tamales which were delicious. We enjoyed their Mac & Cheese and their beans were tasty. It was a nice day, so sitting out in the community patio worked out good. Beer, cocktails and various flavored lemonades were available. The wait for our food I thought was too long - over half an hour - and they were not busy. It’s not likely we will return. Although the food was good, it really wasn’t that great for the wait.

I always ate the traditional pork tamales until I saw the food truck that sold different varieties nearby a hotel! The three kinds of tamales are Oxtail, Classic Brisket, and the Cajun Chicken. My favorite is the oxtail because the masa absorb the flavors from the meat. It is seasoned very well. I would just ordered more of that one! It was a great experience to try and plan on returning again another time.

Quite possible the best wings I’ve ever eaten, and I’m not even that big of a fan of traditional bbq flavor. The chicken meat was falling off the bone. The Mac n cheese is also award-worthy—spicy and delicious. The baked beans were just OK. The prices are high; they don’t seem like food truck prices. But with wings and Mac n cheese this good, it’s worth it.

Decided to give CC's Tamales a try on a Saturday evening. I ordered a half dozen of pork Tamales and a half dozen of beef brisket Tamales. The Tamales we very moist and seasoned well, but there was no difference in taste and texture of the pork and beef brisket Tamales. We came for the oxtail Tamales but they were out. Customer service was great. Prices were reasonable/ fair. Atmosphere was also great.

Big shout out to "the tamale boss"🫔! Me an the family stopped by grabbed a dozen each smoked brisket 🫔, cajun chicken 🫔 and jalapeño chicken 🫔. Loved em all, fav was the smoked brisket🔥🔥🔥. Couldn't get em outta my mind so I went back before they closed. They didn't have the smoked brisket but I got the beef boudin tamales and oxtail tamales. Boiii when I tell you the tamales 🫔 😋 where fiiiiiiirre 🔥🔥🔥. Would've love to have sauce with em but still 5⭐️'s 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I ain't gonna lie. This food was awesome. I love tamales but never had BBQ in a tamales before. Delicious is an understatement. Definitely going back. Great service as well.

I got the smoked wings with a side of beans. The wings were tender and smoky almost taste like jerk chicken. The beans were slightly sweet with smoked ground beef in it. Both were great, I’ll be back to try the tamales.

These tamales are so delicious, I’ve never had tamales like these. We can’t wait to try them all. If you’re craving tamales, these are a go to! we got the beef brisket & Cajun chicken, 10/10

Some of the best tamales I've ever had! They are not dry & are well seasoned. I buy the brisket and oxtail tamales!!! Slap yo mama good!!! Go try them out, you will not be disappointed!!!

Stopped by this truck off Jones Road in Houston. We ordered the beef and pork tamales. Both were delicious had just enough kick to them. Wanted salsa but were good without it. There was no line and the food came out piping hot

Love the brisket tamales and like supporting a small business. The chicken tamale was a little lackluster but wanted to try it regardless. I would definitely go back and try other things so go support this business!

I've been here maybe 2 to 3 times and they are definitely a solid four stars. However, I would admit the last time I went that tamales were pretty good but something was different about the seasoning. I can't really put a finger on it but they were good. They definitely put their version or spin on tamales. There are a different style. I like them however, they're just different. So you may be surprised when you try them because they they're nothing like you've had in Houston Texas before that's for sure. I would almost say there an acquired taste. The customer service is great. I will definitely come back and try more tamales maybe it was an off day a few weeks ago but the seasoning was different. It wasn't bad. It was just different or strong if you will. I highly recommend that you give them a shot. It's always great to support local businesses. These guys are doing a great job with their business. So far I have tried the pork and the beef. I will definitely try more and update my review when I go back.

Food was OK... Oxtail tamales were just blah blah.... More hype than taste IMO.... I'll try again to see if it was a fluke

The boudin kind of blended in to the masa and you could not distinguish the boudin taste in that particular tamale. The brisket was very good but we would be willing to revisit for another try. The service was great and it is located in a small food truck park off Jones Rd.

I drove over an hour to try this place out based upon TikTok and I was completely disgusted. Initially, we ordered and paid for 3 oxtail tamale bowls, waited 1 hour and 30 minutes before we were told that they had ran out of oxtails and could only give us 1 tamale bowl. That really made me angry. Then when we received the 1 tamale bowl, it had no flavor and the masa was horrible and to top it off this food truck is expensive as hell for the food you receive. I have no problem paying for good food. But this is one food truck that I will never return to nor will I recommend to anyone. No ambiance.

Whew! There is definitely some heart here. I found this place via GrubHub. Simply just browsing around for something to order and this place came up of which I've never heard of before. I called them to confirm that it was a legitimate business for which they did confirm. 20 minutes later I was parked in front of this food truck ready to try me some tamales. Simply put... I was not disappointed. For the very first time I've had a tamale that's hand made and did not have a lot of extra masa wrapped around it and at the same time the masa was extremely well seasoned. I mean it was hard to tell the difference between the flavor of the meet and the masa. That right there is some fine fine cooking skills. Now you would think with such skills that the chef was directly from Mexico. NOT. These babies came from soul food city Memphis. I was very impressed. My only issue with the tamales is they did not have any real spicy ones on the menu. As well as the need for a little more meat. They did however tell me that I can make a special order and they can have them for me the next day. I'm like..... BET! Now I also tried the BBQ ribs and I can tell that the chef indeed has skills on that pit. As a fellow griller however I can tell that because of his regular cliental that he is holding back some on flavor. My advice is if you make it... They will come. Just be consistent with those extra spices and the word will get around. There are more pepper heads in this city than you can imagine. Spice it up and Prosper!

The brisket tamales were delicious. The Cajun chicken was pretty good too. I haven't tried the shrimp yet. Hoping they have some ready when I go the next time

Unreal tamale's and boudin fried egg rolls! Been here two years and he is the only truck that hasn't left since to beginning

The chicken tamales are the best , all of the tamales are so good they don't even need sauce they are very juicy I've eaten here about 8 times and enjoy sharing with friends and family

Great tamales. You have to get the brisket ones. You will write home to your mother. Seriously.

Food was ok, but could've been better. The turkey leg seemed to be slightly overcooked, and several of the tamales were missing masa. Also, my order was incorrect as I asked for a spinach and shrimp tamale but was given a broccoli one that didn't get eaten

I came across CC's Hot Tamales during the holiday. I wanted tamales but i wanted something different and welp i found CC's. I ordered 4 dozen brisket tamales because we were having a small get together and guess what EVERYONE loved it and couldn't stop saying how good it was. The flavor and spice were well combined. I come from a Mexican family and I approve of these! Love that is not a lot of Masa. I highly recommend CC's. They're easy to communicate with and they offer other stuff as well. I ordered 4 dozen again, but this time for a drive by baby shower. Just TRY THEM!

These are great tamales. We are from out of town, but when we come in to watch our grandkids always try to slip over here and grt some first class tamales. I love the pork

I have visited CC's food truck twice now. The first time I bought a dozen tamales. Ate them all in one sitting! They were delicious. The second time, I had a chopped beef BBQ sandwich. Again, great. The sauce was really good. If you are near Jersey Village, I highly recommend you stop by the 290 Food Truck Court on Jones RD and visit CC's. - Joe

No matter what I show up at the food court for I always stop and get tamales from CCs. Is always packed when I go there so I assume it's all good.

Best Tamales i ever had in Houston. So flavorful and very delicious. The guys who run it are very nice, and have great customer service. Most definitely my new spot.

Since trying one of the top tamales in San Antonio about two years ago I've been looking for someone closer to my area that could compete. I tried their pork tamale and it is the best tamale I have had to date. I will definitely be back for more.
