    Stopping at SOTB is always a good idea when traveling up north or down south. The hot dogs was exactly what we needed after driving for about 6 hours. Clean & the staff was friendly. Dine in or carry out. No bathrooms for public use.

    Looks are deceiving with this one. Tacky and over the top is what you see when you pull up. Tourist trap. Though they where understaffed like really bad, I waited it out because I noticed a lot of people were there with me. That was telling me to hold out because if this many people are waiting with this bad of a back up, it must be pretty good. looking around, the placed is dated but remarkably clean! Almost sure you could eat off any surface.Sure enough, the food was great! Don't know if it was worth the 30 Minute wait for fast food but, was tasty!

    Late at night, we ride up to get goodies!

    I have zero complaints. They made everything fresh to order, which was piping hot when I got it. U do need to wait, n most tables r closed due to pandemic precautions. The food is fabulous. This is my new favorite place to stop at whenever I'm passing through. All the workers are so polite n friendly. I make it a point to return the courtesy. I usually order a bunch of stuff: tacos, tamales, burgers, n fries for Dad. I also get drinks. They have lots of stuff; everything from gravy & biscuits to grits, breakfast foods, typical American fast foods, n all kinds of Mexican stuff. It's so delicious!

    Hot Tamale is open 24 hours and offers a number of food items for a very low price; between $1.50 - $3.50 for most of the items. The tamales, tacos, and cheese burgers actually have a decent flavor and I would recommend ordering them if you make your way here. I do not recommend the fries or nachos. The fries may come with a decent amount in one order, but they have a stale flavor. The nachos are low quality with cheese that is more liquidy than normal and a below average flavor. The atmosphere is divey and spacious. The staff members are nice and quick to serve.

    Always a line here.

    For a 24-hour South of The Border restaurant, this location was surprisingly average in terms of food portions, taste, quality, and overall service. Even though I had an appetite for Mexican food upon arrival, that quickly changed by looking at the overall presentation from the orders that I saw come out- bland & somewhat undercooked. So, I changed my choices from Mexican to plain ol' American foot long hot dogs with fries & a drink ($10.00). For all of that, I thought that it was so-so, and nothing spectacular. Couple that by having to walk nearly a half of a block to the bathroom (bathrooms are not in this building), and you have an eating experience that is just not very memorable. I will say that this location is quite clean. Employees seem to be really up to cleaning up after folks that happened to eat like animals in here after traveling from wherever to stop & see the SOB attractions. However, the employees at the front just seemed to be disinterested in wanting to serve me on this visit. I've had better service at a McDonald's than here, which is just sad. Oh well. Altogether, you'll get a decent meal here, but don't have high expectations. In my opinion, the food is just a bit overpriced from what it offers.

    The experience is something else.... The adds had me excited to come here only to find myself with a mouth full of salt. So much salt in the food.

    This is probably my last time eating here. They've started up charging for everything they can. Relish upcharge, mustard upcharge, I'm really surprised they didn't charge me for ketchup. I only got a hotdog the bun was stale and hot dog appeared to be left in the hot hold past temp. Server was rude from the start I was making sure I understood the specials posted, after I suggested she not be so rude. She became extremely rude to my son when he asked about the stickers that cost $.10 or $.25 depending on size. He just wanted to know if he has to pay tax or is that the final price.

    We got 4 tacos. And a lemonade and a sweet tea for $13. It's a fun quirky town . It was quiet when we came. It's an are off route 95 called South of the Border. Very flashy. We need food so ... we stopped here. South Carolina style !!

    Pedro says it is chili today, hot tamales.
    Jim B.

    It's South of the Border so everything screams 50's roadside attraction and it is! BUT, Hot Tamale was surprisingly good and great prices! The beef taco was great as was the beef Tamale. Nachos were boring and ordinary C-store quality but for the price would stop for tacos and tamales again.

    Menu

    Low prices, good tacos. While the service is somewhat slow, and big crowds of strange people come through, the tacos and tamales are surprisingly good. At least for a fast food carry out place. The restaurant could use a restroom for its patrons. Going to the big one across the parking lot (which is disgusting) isn't a big deal (besides the fact that it's disgusting), but would be nice to have a cleaner spot at the restaurant.

    The only thing disappointing about Hot Tamales are the Yelp reviews. This is essentially a 24-hour fast food joint that offers up burgers, fries, hot dogs, breakfast and some "Mexican" food. And by Mexican, I mean tacos, tamales and chili-covered nachos. It's nothing fancy, but if you're walking in expecting some amazing new-age Mexican eatery, then shame on you, Yelpers. In case you forgot that damn quickly, you're at South of the Border in South Carolina. Too see people review this place as if they're expecting some culinary miracle to occur is hard to digest. It is easy to see why some people who don't Yelp view us as nit-picking food snobs. La Chica and I rolled up in here around 11 PM after checking in at the motor lodge across the street. I ordered a Bud Light, a bacon, egg & cheese biscuit and some chili cheese fries. All of my food was great. The biscuit was soft and had a great buttermilk taste, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was crunchy. The chili cheese fries were on point too. Lots of hot dog type chili (nothing homemade for sure), sour cream and fresh crispy fries. La Chica's order was similar to mine and our total bill was $16 and some change. Everything was made to order. I left stuffed and my wallet was happy.

    Please take off that this place serves Mexican food, that is deceiving. With all due respect this place should be shut down or something. Not only does this place claim to sell Mexican food, the also say they serve Luzianne tea but they don't. I know my teas and though I don't mind Lipton Luzianne is an upgrade. You can buy the same $1.95 "tacos" at taco bell for a dollar. I guess I'm use to Miami.. The people working here are like zombies. Not friendly at all Ooh! And no free refills?! Also they lied to my face about the tea!! And their nachos, I'll post a pic you be the judge. Stingy with the meat on their tacos, don't use cilantro. "South of the border looks lovely, but it's not. The only highlight was the gas station, the woman on shift that day was actually friendly. At night time this place (South of the Border) has a beautiful display, and it's just so deceiving, it broke my heart visiting.

    This place is closed and is now called burrito loco. Which is good. Miss the hot tamale though.

    The food was disgusting and the restaurant was understaffed. Their Tamales are even worse than the rest of the food

    Stay far and clear the food is pure shit. Im a a head chef…read morefor over 30 years and hey this place is the worst place i have ever been too. The food is not even fit for a dog. This is the worst review i have even given even worse than the hard rock buffet in Atlantic city and they almost killed my with E coli. But this place dont even bother. Its not editable. I I pray i dont get sick It's funny on the way out we see several workers eating none of them had to meat or nothing. They had avocado and they had all vegetables you tell me all the Mexicans I work with vegetarians.. They knew the food is bad. That's why. I better not get food poisoning. That's all I'm saying. They are very nice people very polite but the food is pure SHIT!!!

    Ha, I created this business listing as a customer, but I see others have beat me in reviewing it!…read moreMy experience wasn't quite aaaas bad, but it wasn't particularly good, either. First, it's part of South of the Border, which was like a ghost town. A shadow of its former self. Service was on the slower side. Prices were steep for the quality. I ordered a ground beef quesadilla, which was okay, and it didn't wreck my stomach on the ride home to Virginia, but Taco Bell would've been eons better. My friend had a veggie taco and thought it was okay. The TV programs were a little strange, we were treated to Barney during our visit.
