La Norteña Tamale Factory

Ordered menudo and it was good. It was a little bit more liquidy than I like and not as spicy as I prefer however those are personal preference. The pansa and hominy were cooked to perfection. It has a great taste. I would definitely recommend and will buy again

I’ll have to say, the attendant was beyond beautiful & kind….i sampled one before I decided to make my 2 dozen purchase. I thought they tasted similar to the ones I have purchased in the past from the saucedo tamale factory. So where I wasn’t completely sold, I had already made the drive & no one else had any (that I had called) I should’ve gone with my gut instinct & just bought them at Rosa’s cafe (& theirs aren’t that great either). I was looking for those authentic tamales, like the ones you get at Garibaldys across the coliseum (they were closed) Needless to say, I need to start making my own so I’m not getting constantly disappointed with taste & quality. I’ll be calling for a refund & im hoping they are as kind as they were when I handed over my card to pay $41.60 Rhe one I sampled was okay 👌 However, the second one I got when I arrived home, well as much as I tried to smother it in the salsa & lemon (that the nice girl at the window added in my bag) They were still a bit tough, as if they’d been there a while…..I won’t knock them, I’m sure not all the food is the same. But tamales is not their forte.

The quality of their tamales, no matter which ones you try are nasty. Dry, scimpy on the inside and too much masa !! La Nortena has become the least favorite place of mine to eat. The cost is too high for scimpy insides. You are better off buying privately made food . Made better and better quality. Worth the price.

Service is always good. And food is always good also. Tamales and menudo and breakfast burritos. And varieties of other choices also.

The food looks good.The only thing I go for is the spicy tamales i guess they don't make them anymore. Even the regular tamales have become bland. I would go here once or twice a week, I can't stand what has happened to this place the person running it needs to be prosecuted lol

The place is very small, no more than five tables. The cashier at the drive-thru is a sweetheart — super kind and helpful. As for the food, it ended up being similar to many good homemade Mexican-style dishes, but their tortillas and corn products aren’t great — they taste sweet and end up killing the good flavor.

It was mid. Had the barbacoa and flavor was lacking. Nothing special. One member in the party loved the spicy beef empanadas. The menudo isn’t worth the trip. There’s a couple of 2 person tables is all.

So far these are the Best Tamales in Texas I had the pork Tamales they had a nice savory salty filling and the My side wasn't a paste. It actually had some texture and a bite to it.

Used to always visit the main store in Pecos when I was working in the area. Was happy to see they opened this location. Glad to say they have the same product output as the main location. Tasty tamales with plenty of flavor and spice in the chicken or pork. Staff was friendly and helpful. Got mine to go but a little spot outside for eating.

The food is pretty great. If they're open. The hours suck. Closed after 2pm, closed mondays. And it's pretty expensive. Do you want any sauce with your already expensive tamales? That's more money. Come on. Be reasonable guys.......

The food was so tasted so fresh I couldn't stop eating it. I wanted to get and more 10 out of 10 best food in Odessa by far hands-down.

Tamales are thick juicy and spicy especially the red , which is what I love! I got a 12 count and two jarritos 24$ decent price in my opinion. The lady I ordered from was kind and gave me time to decide . Very neat clean restaurant I enjoyed the ambiance.

Such a great group of people. Always fresh and hot burritos and the tamales are huge!

Yummy tamales. Flavourful and Spicy. I was never a tamale person until I tried their tamales!

Was an accidental stop for lunch that turned out to be an amazing experience. Got the Asada burrito. That was amazing. My husband got it doesn't tamales. The tamales are authentic income in numerous flavors.

Great and tacos. We got some breakfast bowls that were really good. They got them out quick and we got back on the road. They have a drive thru

So the reason why I'm giving it to stars is only because it's the same food as the one in Pecos. The staff is really nice but if you go to the one in Pecos, they actually give you a larger burrito that's more thick and they give you two sauces The burritos here leak too much butter. The one in Pecos is way better than this one in Odessa but if you don't want to drive all the way out to Pecos, then you have to come here.

This place is a little out of my way,but The service was friendly and all the products that I purchased was good. The food was delicious, the candy was authentic, and the masa for my tamales is always a quality.

Amazingly friendly restaurant. A welcoming and friendly place. Extremely friend. Unlike anything we've seen in a while. A warm welcome as soon as we walked in and they made us feel at home. We were offered samples of dishes we were interested in. Everything was so good. Even better. The drinks dis not cost more than their food. Definitely recommend this place to everyone. Give them your business!! PLEASE!!

Great tamales is what they are known for. I just had one of their new to menu burgers and it was the best burger I have had in a very very long time. So good!

This place is a joke. Went to the tamale factory to get tamales. Waited in a long line for 20 minutes. Get to the window and she tells me . I need to order on line and come back next Tuesday. It's Friday right now. Won't be going back to this joke. If you cannot sale tamales either close or put up sign!!!!

I had the red spicy tamales , they were delicious, the place looks clean the people greeted you kindly, the tamales were a little more than usual, but I'd rather pay a little more and get good product
