Tyler Tortilla Factory

Stopped off at 230 on a Sunday and got the last of the tamales. Dozen chicken and half dozen cheese. They were all so good. Fresh and delicious. They said if I call in about an hour before they'll make my request fresh. I'll be coming back for more flavors for sure. Very nice staff and amazing food.

Great tortillas as the name implies. You can by the masa ready to go, or the tortillas already cooked, but my favorite part is the tamales 🫔 😋. They have a great variety, mild and spicy chicken, beef, pork, and they have spinach and cheese and cheese jalapeno. There is red and green salsa and chips. Everything you need for a get together.

I never write reviews but I just had too on this fabulous little gem we found. My boyfriend and I have been looking for a place that makes real authentic Mexican food since we moved to Texas in 2021. Well, we have finally found it!!! This place has the best CARNITAS in Texas! It also has the best SALSAS we've had since being here. My favorite is the PICO but my boyfriend prefers the SPICY RED. And the CHIPS are so fresh and crispy. We can't complain about anything here we have tried. Thank You Tyler Tortilla Factory for making our days a little bit better!

First time trying this place out and it didn’t disappoint at all. The tamales are amazing and the salsa verde is to die for. Amazing job!

This place yall!!!! Best tamales ever. They have several varieties and I have never been disappointed. Try the salsa too yall. Super nice folks. This is not an eat in place. To go only.

My first time going today and I got the spinach & cheese tamales and beef tamales, chips, and green salsa. It was all SO good and fresh. The green salsa is HOT but the kind of hot where you just keep eating it. My mouth is on fire as I’m writing this lol. The chips were fresh like they were just made. I can really tell when food is not fresh, but every single item was perfectly fresh. Both of the tamales were spectacular so glad I got plenty. I will definitely be back!

Went here for the first time because of the rave reviews. First of all ordered a week ahead of time and went to pick up and they had sold my order to someone else. They had a different time than I had for my pick up time. When I had originally placed my order, the girl was very rushed, and I knew I should’ve double checked on it. My bad. So it would be the next day. I went to pick them up. All good. These were the worst tamales I have ever had in my life. Dry as a bone. And I couldn’t tell what kind of meat it was. It was all ground up and supposedly it was brisket and pork. The ones at the grocery store are better.

My parents came here earlier, my dad ordered chicken, pork, & rajah tamales. I didn’t go inside the restaurant, my dad did so I’m not sure about the service but the tamales were the worst, the pork tamales were not good they looked like ground up meat & they weren’t red, the chicken tamales, the chicken looked grey & it was dry & the rajah tamales were mostly cheese barely any of the green pepper! the salsa was only good part about the whole order.

Best tamales in the area, but you better get there early in the day. I just missed the last spinach and cheese, man in front of me got the last dozen. Luckily there was one dozen pork left. Sold out at around three, I'll make sure to go earlier next time. Sorry to the people behind me, but Mom was hungry and I'd had my ears removed if I came back empty handed.

I love their tamales. Every flavor is excellent. Their hot sauce is extra hot, so choose the mild unless you're a dragon.

Absolutely awesome. Forreal! Original home made. I love all the tamales, especially the spinach and cheese.

My 2nd time here and I absolutely love all of their tamales! The spicy pork are my favorite. Great prices! Definitely will be back. The green sauce was amazing too.

The Tamales are really good, but a bit small and thin. The look like small rolled tacos. But aside from that they are really good!

Normally wouldn't take the time to do reviews. I'll keep in short, if you're looking for good tamales verdes this definitely not your place. The tamales verde have little to no traces of any sauce ever being there. I was explained that the green sauce "dilutes" as it cooks. Which make of that what you will. As you will see in pictures it definitely dilutes to where you question whether there was ever any to begin with. Which I don't under why complete dilution would ever be risked. Since anyone that has ever had tamales will tell the sauce is all the flavor. They taste as they look. As for the tamales de rajas, these were actually good. However, they were also very tiny. Almost small churro size. But maybe the prices correlated with size. Staff is friendly I must acknowledge so overall my rating is a 2/5.

The corn tortillas were thick and hard. I threw the entire package out after one bite. The flour tortillas were small and mediocre. The majority of them were smaller than the corn tortillas and they tasted 100% like store bought tortillas. The flour tortillas from the Super 1 deli taste more authentic than these did. The only reason they got 2 stars is because the green salsa is phenomenal! For me, it's not worth the drive over there.

After reading the reviews about the homemade tortillas, tamales and carnitas, I drove 30 minutes to the Tortilla Factory for the flour tortillas. Imagine my surprise when I was told they stopped making tortillas in house sone time ago despite their website making a big deal about the tortillas. I was directed to the refrigerator where a few cold, hard lumps of very small machine made tortillas were sitting on the bottom shelf. I would take Mission tortillas from the grocery store any day over these poor excuses they tried to pawn off on me. After the long drive, I settled for some carnitas and chicken tamales. The next day I unwrapped the carnitas to find about 4-5 tablespoons of congealed fat on the outside of the foil; not very appetizing. Once heated, the carnitas were about a 4-5 on the 10 pt scale but the way they were packed to go definitely left a negative impression. The tamales shocked me; they were the smallest ones I have ever seen, about the length and diameter of a frankfurter. I just threw them away since the filling was so little as to be inconsequential. So, after much anticipation, I add the Tyler Tortilla Factory to my growing list of Mexican food disappointments in Tyler.

Tamales, salsa, and chips are delicious. We like the spicy pork and spinach enchiladas. The employees were super nice and helpful.

Best tamales ever when I come to visit from houston I make sure to take some for the road love there delicious chips with salsa the best place in Tyler thank for your good food

This is a little hole in wall place in low neighborhood with 4 parking spaces for grab & go food purchase. THE BEST TAMALES & homemade salsas & tortillas, just to die for!! Nicest people ever, very customer service oriented. Call ahead for spicy tamales, they go fast. Grab a Mexican soda while you're there.

Good tamales. We especially like the beef, and spinach and cheese tamales. People are helpful. We did not care for the tacos. Since we discovered this place, we have ordered tamales every week. Also, we have told others about the Tyler Tortilla Factory and they are enjoying the tamales, chips and sauce, too.

Tyler Tortilla Factory has been around for many many years ... Ive been living in Tyler at least 32 years and I have never had a better tasting tamal anywhere else except for the ones my mother and grandmother made when they were alive ... I had the pleasure of meeting the original owners and they were the exceptional people who cared about the quality of their business and the food they made everyday from scratch ... Their beef barbacoa is perfect as well ... Thank you Tyler Tortilla Factory for caring about your product and the people who drive many many miles just to eat your food

Had to check out this place with no bad reviews, hard to find. Spent 13 bucks well worth it, NICE TACOS, portions are awsome, homemade everything, wish they would server rice and beans because i already know they would be A+..

Rating is the lowest possible. The worst tamales I've ever paid for. I'm not sure if they still sell canned tamales but if they do, I will guarantee they are better than those from the tortilla factory. They were extremely disappointing and after sampling them, we threw most of them in the garbage. And forget about the breakfast tacos promoted on their outdated website, they do not make/sell tacos.

An old Tyler tradition, this is the place to go for tamales. It is Tyler Tortilla Factory though, not Tortilla Tyler Factory. Open 6 days a week (closed on Monday!) they have different varieties made to order as well as the usual pork tamales. Call ahead for special or large orders or just drop in for a dozen or so of pork tamales. These are always a special treat at our house! Also fantastic chips and salsa as well as soft tortillas

This is a really good place to get food to go, Tamales are delicious and tortilla chips are great .theirs sauce is really good,if you have time and hungry stop by and get your tamales for this holiday season.

Awesome tamales. We stopped by and got a dozen of the jalapeno and cheese. When you order, they given you a side of fresh made salsa to top them off. We got the salsa verde which is their medium and it was great as well. The selection includes beef, pork, spinach, chicken and a couple of extra spicy types too. They also sell larger quantities of salsa and both flour and corn tortillas plus a few other items. Call ahead and they will have your order ready when you get there. I can't wait to go back and try some other tamales. Don't plan on eat in, they don't have any tables. We sat in our car and chowed down a few. Delish. Sorry no pics again. I give up on my phone.

A Tyler tradition. Wonderful homemade tamales that are moist, and flavorful! Quality ingredients, prices are reasonable and the service is great! You will not find better tamales unless mom is making them! Comfort food at its best! Yum!!

Best tamales anywhere. Excellent tortillas and chips. If you want Christmas tamales make sure you order before thanksgiving.
