I called to confirm BEFORE I left Midland to order tamales just to arrive and receive not 1 single tamale. They did NOT hold my order and told me they sold out. Can’t even get a tamale pie👎🏾

Excellent tamales but they need to improve the size of them. The taste is awesome but they are too small 😭

Used to eat here every morning because the variety and quality of the food was fantastic. But this morning just added to the other two times I have eaten here that the burritos were just not up to par. The egg was cooked hard and dry and the potatoes tasted like they were left over from yesterday, though the sausage was very good. The tortillas and salsa is always good but I can find bigger and more flavourful down the street.

The tamales were a little oily and small. They're not bad, but probably the best in Odessa. If you like frozen or canned tamales, this is definitely a huge step up! But to be honest, I enjoyed the asado burrito a lot more! I highly recommend you add an asado burrito to your order!!

Wish I would have read the reviews first :( The barbacoa was old, dry and disgusting. The tortilla and salsa was good. Will not be returning, sorry I wasted my money.

this place used to be a hidden gem but I went there today granted it was right at opening time but all of my tamales had a crunchy texture.. H-E-B tamales were better than today $24 wasted 3 hot 1/2 dozen

The hot tamales are not good at all wouldn't recommend getting them ever.The service was ok I ordered 4 dozen hot tamales and it didn't take no more than 5 mins which should've been the first red flag that these tamales are not fresh at all. I didn't go inside so I can't say nothing about cleanliness of the inside or the atmosphere.

This place is always busy for breakfast. Most people go thru the drive thru. I really like their breakfast burritos they are very well seasoned which a lot aren't. The green sauce is not hot but good flavor. I think I paid $3.75 for a nice sized burrito.

This place had the best gorditas in all of Odessa. I think they have a new owner and the young man that is working there is NOT a good employee. My Gordita's have RAW masa The medudo smelled like poop which made me think it was not cleaned at all. This place has really gone down hill and there is never anyone there any more. I do not wonder why!!! I see why !!'

I went yesterday and ordered the tacos. It's been more than 10 years since I've eaten here but I have always loved the tacos. They weren't as good as I remembered the meat had no taste and they put cabbage instead of lettuce. They were ok not the mind blowing tacos I remember. The green sauce is delicious

Literally found a grub/larvae/worm in my food mid-bite through a tamale. Management refused refund but offered in store credit for more food. Absolute joke.

I ate there 8/12/2019. It had been awhile I was very happy I did. The drive thru is a little slow but that is ok it gives me time to relax a minute. I ordered ham egg cheese and potatoes. Plus a doz. Tamales. The burrito tasted like they used to very very good. We'll seasoned and fresh. The tamales although a bit greasy they were umm good. Like always not to much masa, hot from heat and not to spicy. Just right. I been eating at Saucedos for over 25 years plus the food has always been very good. Try them I think you will be happy. Their prices are reasonable as well.

Anything with papas is amazing and great salsa drive thru is usually good pace the tamales are ok nothing to mind blowing but yes anything with papas is amazing! The inside had a great salsa and topping bar it's great when you eat inside too! Clean area

We got some tamales (two dozen) to take home if there was half a cup of meat in the two dozen I don't know where it was hiding. Not what it used to be.

The Menudo is delicious but the customer service needs work. We come in from out of town and stop by my favorite spot for good menudo. Well use to be. The cashier wasn't pleasant in greeting us at all. We ordered and got drinks sat down and I accidentally waste my drink. The cashier gave a rude look. I'm a customer accidents happen. I offered to clean my own mess but they all looked at me like I was a stupid ass for wasting the drinks. Typical Odessa never going again. Place sucks now.

Complete waste of money. The tamales here are small flat and tasteless. When you open the plastic bag they give you, you notice the tamales wrapped in paper completely covered and dripping grease. Just gross. Also I got an asado burrito. Terrible!! If this passes for great tamales in this town it says a lot about the people's tastes. Yuck

Saucedos is a Tamale Factory in Odessa. They also have a newer location in Midland. There is a modest seating area with brightly colored walls. I personally am a fan of their chili verde burritos, but they sell tamales too. However their tamales are tasteless, but just get the burritos and you're good. They also have home made lemonade and horchata. Overall Saucedos is a great place to grab a burrito.

The food was fantastic and full of authentic flavor that can be found no where else, and the tamales were fantastic!
