17 years ago on our road trip and not much around, we happened upon La Nortena Tamale Factory in…read morethe blink of an eye and you've passed it town of Pecos Texas. Fast forward to Instagram, Yelp, social influencers and now this tamale factory and city are even more well known and loved. So with another road trip from Las Vegas to San Antonio we had to stop here and get some tamales. I have a few tips for you. They are closed on Mondays and if I'm not mistaken most days they are closed by 2 or 3 PM. Their website to pre-order is great. I ordered the night before to make sure my tamales were available. We were staying in Carlsbad, New Mexico and the drive time is an hour and 30 minutes. I totally forgot about the time change switching states. I called La Nortena as I started my drive and requested they changed my pick up time for an hour later than I had originally requested. They were so accommodating and helpful. I love that they open super early because we were on the road and there by 10am Texas time. We decided to walk in to pick up our order. They have an order line and a pick up line but there was only one girl manning the order line. It went pretty quick and they got our stuff really fast. They do not offer any bathrooms as this is just a pick up and go so if you're traveling you'll have to find somewhere else. The tamales were as delicious as I remembered them. The masa isn't super thin and isn't super thick. This isn't your regular masa. You can literally see the love that went into them making this masa special. I pre-ordered the mix dozen which comes with half green and half red. If you prefer more or less or another type of tamale they offer (others aren't always available) then just place the request in the comments box of your order. Both red and green are a bit spicy, moist and have awesome flavor. This was our breakfast and they were piping hot. I could barely hold them to hand them to my son in the backseat. I love that they were so hot. Delicious and my son said that they were the best tamales he had ever eaten. Pecos Texas is not that blink and you pass it kind of town anymore. It's rather cute with artistically painted Texas boots all throughout the city. I love social media because it really shows you all the things that you can find in the city from it having the world's first rodeo to history with Pecos Bill, this is definitely a stop to make and enjoy the city as well as the incredible tamales.

OVERALL The in-house made tamales from La Nortena Tamale…read moreFactory in Pecos, TX, are divine! I also recommend that you try some of their outsourced salsas. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING This place gets busy, but there is free side street parking all around the large building. LOCATION/AMBIANCE The building looks like an old warehouse, but "La Nortena" is visible from both 3rd Street and US Highway 285. The line was practically out the door on 1/14/2024 when I arrived at around 11:45AM. It's a bit of a tight squeeze when there is a line plus it's hard to figure out who is waiting for an order and who needs to place one because... well, honestly some folks are just oblivious or plain rude. THE GRUB + spicy red chile pork tamales (1 dozen = $19.10)... there were so delicious... my friends have made some amazing tamales for me. These are way up there with the best homemade ones I've eaten. + Salsa de Chile de Arbol ($7.52 including tax) - so damn good but spicy as hell... I couldn't stop eating it with my tamales and tortilla chips at home. + they have a variety of beverages also... I got a water and a tall Mexican Coke. My online order was canceled because they were out of the 10-count vacuum-packed Hatch chile and asadero "rajas" tamales ($17). The owner/manager gave me the drinks for free because he was unable to cancel the other order. What I ended up purchasing was approximately the same price. + They offer a variety of snacks and desserts. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB There are no kid's items. SERVICE ¡Muy excellente! I interacted with 4 employees -- all super friendly and working quickly. MY FAVORITE PART... The tamales! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The wait to order. TIPS + This is a takeout restaurant only. No dining room is available. + I recommend placing orders probably at least a day in advance so they have what you want in stock. + A second location is in Odessa.

I placed a TOGO order to feed an oilfield location I was working on and they added an outrageous $58 tip just for preparing our plates.

Onion, cilantro, limes and hot sauce come on the side as does a cup of consommé for dipping. Round that out with a glass bottle of Mexican Coke and you've just tasted heaven one cheesy layer at a time. We enjoyed our tacos and Coke's outside. They have several tables and chairs under a large metal awning. As some of the other reviews mentioned the prices are a little high but the quality and quantity of food that you get makes it worth every penny. Now go and get you some!
