OG Hot Tamale spot right here. If you want good homemade hood tamales this is the spot for you. If…read moreyou can deal with the no parking lot situation its worth it. They are $2.50 a piece so expect to shell a few bucks to get them. I usually get 24 (12 hot 12 mild) and its worth the 60 bones you gone pay. Also they are not Corn wrapped and cash only. But 10/10 "Bussin" in my books.

Pop's has great Hot Tamales.... Not much else to be said about this place…read more It's a hole in the wall, well two, literally, there are two holes. One for you to put money in and another for you to get your tamales out. They do one thing and they do it really fucking well! I have been coming here for years for take out tamales and I try and stop every time I am in the area. I will hit Ball Hoggerz or Payne's for lunch, Pop's for take home tamales, and Makeda's sugar cookies for later. Times change but these damn tamales stand the test of time and keep on. A little story.... The first time I came here I think I dealt with "Pop" himself. I asked him "what is the best way to reheat these later"? He said "fire"... strait faced, no smile.... I was hooked right then! When you come, get them "hot" with some nickel packs of saltines and hot sauce on top. Hell. Yes.

It's grilled chicken, not shredded so beware if you're not a fan. It came with the perfect amount of meat and a great cheese to chip ratio. The supreme sno cone was good, as expected! If you're new here it's a sno cone with ice cream on top, in the middle, and on the bottom. Balance! 2 people in our group got BBQ bacon burger combos and they enjoyed them as well! It came with plenty of fries. The funnel cake (not pictured) was a bit small and fried too hard for my liking. The seating area is nice and spacious but it was hard to find a clean table to sit at due to sno cone drippings being all over the booths. Someone eventually came out and started cleaning the seating area, thankfully. Also, there's a bit of outdoor seating available, if desired. Overall it's a great spot to stop in and grab a quick bite to go if you want something good & fun that's not traditional fast food. The original location was only To-go so that's what they're known for (IYKYK). They also have a drive thru at this location.

It was cool but I don't actually like snow cones so I've always avoided this place haha. I'm glad they also had ice cream. I got a brownie sundae, which is my favorite thing to order from ice cream shops from childhood. Glad to say this one was pretty good! Also, can I say how BIG the orders are? I am not sure what sizes my friends ordered but there's a reason one of them just didn't order- they knew they'd end up sharing with their family. It is really echoey inside so that was annoying. My friends say they thought the walls were able to open and have everything be outside. I am not sure but that sounds cool. I'd probably sit outside next time because literally a school bus of kids on a trip came in behind us and the noise was pretty bad. Loved: - Sundae: Hot Fudge Cakes

Bc of those things I was going to rate it 3/5 but what made me give this food truck a 4 is bc it is a food truck serving good quality food. Now the flavor is sweeter than what you expect but this chef's take on Jamaican is really good (esp the next day). I caught them outside of a gas station. Price is kinda high but I didn't order oxtails and service was to the point (neither good or bad). Wait isn't too long and they give you a buzzer so you can wait in your car.

This review is for the fish taco only. I will try the tamales next time…read more So I know ... who goes to the "tamale" trolley and skips the tamales? Someone wanting to find a good fish taco in Memphis, that's who. Despite my efforts, I have never found that to die for fish taco in Memphis, and that's been disappointing for me. I'm sure it's out there, and I'll keep trying. But in the tamale trolley, I found a great addition to the spontaneous food scene in Memphis. The taco was a nice combination of flavors. Hot (as in out of the frying oil) tilapia filets. Cool and crisp cabbage and onion. Tangy lime wedges. Spicy chili sauce. Double tortillas. Mix these together, and it was a tasty treat. But why was it tasty? Really, the fact the fish was hot and the cabbage was cold and the sauce was spicy and the lime added the acidic touch ... that's why. Too many times I order a fish taco and the fish is cold (or lukewarm) or the cabbage is warm or there is some thick sauce that destroys the ability to enjoy the flavors of anything else. At $5.00 a taco, the price was right (this was a big taco - see the photo I uploaded), and it's always refreshing to support a completely LOCAL food vendor. I now follow the tamale trolley on twitter, @tamaletrolley ... I hope they will park downtown for lunch to allow me to eat two fish tacos mid day. I also keep a lookout for their brightly colored food truck as I drive around town. I recommend you do so as well. Four stars for the fish taco.

Recently had the chance to check out some of Memphis' new food trucks. A food truck rodeo was held…read morein the Broad Ave Arts district. Although many trucks were expected to attend, only a few actually showed up. Thus, lines were long, and the trucks present quickly ran out of food. I had the chance to try out the Tamale Trolley, by the time I was able to place my order they had run out of tamales. So I went with their next specialty on the menu, the fish taco (and steak taco). Now I can understand the rush, and not being prepared for such a large crowd. I must say I was disappointed with what I ended up with. I started with the steak taco, it had plenty of meat, but it just did not seem to be seasoned at all. The cilantro lime sour cream dressing, needed more cilantro and lime flavor. I ended up eating the taco with only one of the two tortillas provided, the meat to tortilla ratio with just one was plenty enough. I probably would have enjoyed it more if they had not used store bought tortillas, or so it seemed and tasted. I was happy that the fish taco that I had a little more love to it in its preparation. A nice piece of fish, fresh out of the fryer and hot. That made up for the mediocre steak taco, but again, ate it with one tortilla. Some suggestions that would make it better, some lime wedges to be served with the tacos, and a house made sauce to add a little heat. Drinks more exciting than water and coke. Only three stars mainly because of the fish taco. I'll try them out again to try their tamales, but not sure how excited I should be if they're served after being reheated in their microwave.

Last night I was kept up late covering for a coworker that was off and I was so tired this morning I forgot my meeting today was moved to Forrest City from Memphis so I went to turn around here and got hungry. I was sold at "breakfast burrito" but the 5 star average review only made me more excited. I prayed last night at 2:30 am that God would give me strength to make it through this presentation today knowing I had to get up at 5am to drive. This was divine intervention. I walked in so excited that the cashier went from saying hello to being the most delightful human being I've ever met. I could not decide because I wanted everything so I settle for just 2 burritos. One for now and one for later: Sonja and Karen. They were made fresh and took less than 10 min. When I got in my car and opened the box for Karen, I felt a brief moment of pause and disappointment bc the burrito looked a little small. I was worried all the hype would be for not. It was dripping in syrup. I bit into it and the trauma bond of exhaustion and nerves from last night to this burrito experience this morning was complete. It was so good I felt like I couldn't tell someone about it without them thinking I was lying. I could've eaten 4 of them. After finishing it (quickly) I texted one of my best friends that lives 14 hours away, "I just ate a breakfast burrito so good, I moaned a little." I didn't make Sonja wait any longer. I had to have her right now. After opening her box up, I was met with a much fuller and large burrito that looked even better than Karen. I took my phone out and snapped a picture. After that I couldn't take it anymore and started devouring my second burrito. She tasted like I was a little girl and she was the burrito my dad told me to stay away from. A little spicy, messy, Tex-Mexican goodness. I didn't take my first drink after starting my breakfast until 1.5 burritos in because I didn't want to wash away anything my mouth was savoring. I don't even want to brush my teeth. I don't even want to show my face in this restaurant again out of embarrassment that they know the experience I just had after walking out of their establishment. Now I'm going to my meeting and afterwards I'm going home to my wife where I'm going to be honest about the feelings I just experienced and how God said it was okay.

This one has been on the radar for a while now. They have opened up one in Downtown Memphis but I…read morewanted to try the original one first since it's so renowned. The ratings for this place made me super curious about how good the food was. We were on the way to the Buffalo River and I suggested that we stop by and grab breakfast. Walk in and it's pretty empty. It's a take out place only. It's bright and flashy inside. The ladies inside took great care of us, explained some of the details of the menu, and then set off to make our food. It took about 10 minutes I'd say to get it. I had the Gailene's Meat Lovin' Burrito and it was just ok. Very little flavor and there was a huge chunk of the end part of a boneless ham log that destroyed one side of the burrito when I bit into it. I could not get my teeth through the hard rind and pulled the whole 3-4 nice piece out of the middle making it fall apart. I had a hash brown too. It was ok, I did like the spice on it. C and the kids boyfriend got Karen's Maple Delight Junt. It was waaaayyyyyy better than mine! I thought it was very good actually. I would have never ordered it for myself, but now I would. For damn sure! Boyfriend never touched his. I threw it away later. Why you let me buy it, yo!? Lil' A had Richard's Turkey Pesto wrap. She tore it up. Her burps damn near ran me out of the car later. Damn girl! That pesto must have been good. '26 - 99
