Excellent carne asada tacos. The salsa verde is a little spicy but has amazing flavor. The carne asada was seasoned wonderfully.....better than the other local tacos trucks. Can't wait to go back and try the tamales, they looked amazing! Heads up, they're cash only! read more

So I'm really just tired of these food trucks trying to get so much money. Isn't the point that they're supposed to be cheaper? Tamale plate was $14. Horchata for $6. Mexican Coke for $4.50 and a sangria for $3. Oh and for a side of corn they want a whopping $8. I just was in shock by the price. I will never return like it wasn't that good OK? read more

Great tamales, I recommend the strawberry tamales and chili cheese de rajas tamales.I would call in advance if you need a large amount like a dozen because they made me wait for more tamales to be delivered a m d I only bought 6. read more

Tamal Express - Huevos Rancheros by José - Food Trucks Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

My favorite tamale joint thus far! Chili verde chicken is the best, followed by jalapeño cheese and then pork. They charge $2.50/tamale currently which is fairly reasonable. The tamale dough itself is really good, not dry at all. They don't run any specials such as BOGO or Taco Tuesday deals or anything like that but if you want more than just tamales, their pastor tacos and queso birria tacos are pretty decent. Tacos are street sized and also $2.50/each. Queso birria, $17 for 2 tacos with consume. They don't list their prices on their menu so hopefully this helps! read more

Wow! Street tacos are the best I've had!! Nice covered seating in this food truck pod. They even made me fresh gluten free tortillas! Quick and friendly service. I love this place. read more

Awesome tamales!! Their salsa's are delicious and spicy as well!! Ordered the green salsa chicken, Red Pork, And cheese and jalapeños. Definitely coming back!! read more

Tamales are hands-down the best I've ever had!!!! I ordered pork and chicken. The masa was not dry. The meat in both the chicken and pork are so flavorful. read more

Wow! Delicious street tacos AND tamales? What more could I ever ask for? Stopped in again for a small bite and got the asada and chorizo street tacos (minus the onions) and topped them both w a little green and red sauce. Knocked it out of the park once again! Thank you!!! read more

Big time fan of well made Tamals, especially a fan of the Tamale Boys food trucks, however, first time trying Tamal Express was a big bomb! Order was messed up from the restaurant and Postmates, my delivery service didn't do a thing to help. I finished what little of the order I did receive and decided to call the restaurant and the owner said they'd make it right, including running out a new order, which they did. Taste, mostly because everything was cold, wasn't the best. I hoped for better, since this cart is so close by, I did intend to use them more and more, but not sure now. The owner brought me over a Chicken Tamale, which was way better than the first order. read more

Great spot! Came in the early morning to order (10) breakfast burritos for some customers of mine. There was 1 person working and he crushed it! The quality was amazing service was great! My favorite part was they used more of a country style potato which my opinion makes a breakfast burrito that much better. Another thing the size of the burrito was huge!!! Highly recommend the breakfast burritos. I haven't had anything else yet but I will be back when I'm in the area!! The ambience was okay, they had a tent with tables and other food carts. read more

Truly my favorite spot whenever I get a craving! Still, their tamales reign supreme. They are flavorful, soft, and perfect in ratio. Service is amazing: friendly, kind, and attentive to whatever needs you may have. It's a very welcoming and comfortable vibe. read more

Tamales are good but have VERY LITTLE MEAT!! Had queso birria tacos the best I've had so far between Hillsboro and Beaverton

The tamales were pretty decent. Ordered a dozen for around $30 bucks. They also had champurrado as well. Service was fine. Worth checking out it's all Mexican food and snacks read more

Tamal Express @ Aloha Food Carts: their Menudo is authentic. I won't have to visit my brother in California as much because I can get savory, spicy, and hang-over worthy menudo in Oregon. read more

We eat here all the time! I've never taken a picture because we're too excited to dig into our food immediately. The quesobirria tacos with consommé is delicious, don't sleep on theirs! Compared to other places we've been to, they've got the meat to cheese ratio perfectly- a good amount of flavorful birria with just enough melted to cheese to keep the tacos closed shut. And the consommé is just out of this world delicious. Their tamales are also a must to try! They provide the best service as well too. read more

This used to be my favorite place to get tamales, but the last few times have been extremely disappointing. Way too much masa. The employees are all friendly though! read more

Best breakfast burritos around, like it's not even close. Make sure to top it off with one of their spicy Mexican coffees. Should go without saying, but service is superb -- always friendly, quick, and correct. read more

Food: Absolutely incredible. Everything I've tried (I try something different every time) has been phenomenal and some of the best Mexican food I've tasted since moving away from Central America. Especially delicious: Al pastor torta, birria tacos, and the tripe street tacos. Service: Friendly, prompt, and very nice people! They enjoy when you order in Spanish too, even if it's broken! Ask for the extra hot hot sauce! Ambience: Outdoors at a food cart, but with heaters around that they will gladly turn on if requested. Definitely 10/10 experience, and a must try for taco or tamale Tuesday! read more

Tamal Express - Birria Tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

I cannot say enough good things about Tamal Express! We've already been here twice, and every bite has been incredible. This place is the real deal when it comes to authentic Mexican food. Let's start with the tamales. I ordered the verde tamales and WOW!! they were seriously the best I've ever had. So moist and flavorful! A lot of tamales I've tried before were dry or bland, but these were perfectly made. The masa was soft and delicious, and the filling was packed with flavor. You can really taste the freshness. The rice and beans on the side were also a hit seasoned just right and super satisfying. Comfort food at its finest! My husband ordered the burrito and he absolutely loved it. It was huge, loaded with flavor, and he's already talking about going back to get it again. What makes it even better is that it's so close by! Having a spot this good just around the corner feels like we hit the jackpot. Fast service, friendly staff, generous portions, and everything tasted homemade. This is definitely our new go-to spot, and we'll be recommending Tamal Express to all our friends and family. If you're craving delicious, authentic Mexican food don't sleep on this place. You won't regret it! read more

Very friendly! Had tamales for breakfast and they all tasted very good, almost homemade. Covered & heated food truck park.

Oh my goodness!! The best!!! The best tamales and beans I have ever had. The gentleman is awesome as well!!! read more

Phenomenal homemade breakfast burrito fueled us while at a baseball tournament nearby. Wonderful staff, super friendly, and hearty portions of fresh food. read more

Good food. Fresh and served with a smile. It gets four stars for the following reasons: The wet burrito I ordered was very tasty but there was very little meat it was mostly rice and beans and at $12 I'd like some meat. The tamales are very good the problem: they are as skinny as pencils. I want to go back to this place but please put some meat in your burritos and do consider making tamales typical and thick not so thin! At $2.50 per tamale I felt cheated. read more

I can only speak for the pork tamales at this point, but the consistency, seasoning, and flavor are phenomenal. These are the closest (taste-wise) to my aunt's tamales that I've been able to find since moving away from Michigan. Also, the service was great, and super fast. Definitely have a repeat customer here. read more

So hard to find tamales available for breakfast. This place is open early and ready to serve fresh tamales. I wish I lived closer and could try everything on their menu. It all sounds great. For now I can only say the tamal de rajas con queso was packed with flavor. It was a little on the small side but it was a fair price. I try tamales every chance I get and this was my absolute favorite. I are one on site and decided to get more to go. Next time we pass through, we will definitely make a stop here. read more

WOW! The husband spotted this food cart driving by (located behind Walgreens on TV HWY) and has been wanting to try it. So glad we did! EXCELLENT Tamales! The rice & beans were super good as well! Tamales are moist and tasty. We will be back for sure! They even have 2 covered outdoor tables A must Try! read more

Excellent food and outstanding service! Prices are not too bad. We will definitely be going back!

Love the chicken verde tamales! great favor and texture. Leaves me a bit bloated, but worth it on occasion. Not a fan of the asada tacos, however, as twice there weird chewy artery meat pieces in them, ugh. The tamales are the way to go here. Everyone we get the tamales for loves them! read more

This business is absolutely pathetic. I ordered a veggie breakfast burrito and I specified that I wanted eggs with it. As I'm waiting for my order another person returned their order of cheese tamales because they received chicken tamales. This made me already suspicious about whether my order would be made right. So when I got it I opened it up to see. Guess what? No eggs are in the burrito. I spoke to a male employee about it who I'm guessing is the owner and this guy has the guts to say that there are eggs in it. Blatantly insulting me to my face. I tell you what fellow people of Yelp...These days there are only a select group of people left who stick to always telling the truth and who want to help other people. And the people who run this business are not those kind of people. They are the type of people who will lie and do anything they can just to make a dollar. They possess no integrity whatsoever. Stay the heck away from this place. read more

Almost everything on the menu we have tried has hit. The tamales are great. If they have strawberry tamales (fresa) pick one up, especially if you like cornbread. Between the food and how nice the people have been, they got a new customer. read more

Stumbled on a great lunch place while running errands. Tamales are more flavorful and moist than certain popular places in Portland. Just don't forget cash. read more

Muy buenos los tamales, pero casi le ponen carne para deveras saborearlos. Antes si traían lo suficiente que pasó?

I always start with a drink before I order someone's food unless I am certain. Tamales are difficult to make and take no short cuts. I ordered an horchata only...water+powder? I had my first sip and it was good but not great. Horchata is primarily Rice milk, cinnamon, and coconut but all that settled was a pre made powder. Hoping that they aren't taking the same shortcuts with the food. I threw away the rest of mine that was way over priced for not being homemade. I was not the only one because there were others unfinished in trash too. read more

Just called and let them know I got severe food poisoning from their food. Ordered each type of tamale and a steak taco. When I called to warn them I got a "we will work on it" and then was hung up on. Sending the warning out to others. Will never visit this establishment again and will warn others. UPDATE: the other owner called and spoke to me personally. She informed me that they were checking all food temperatures and inquired if I was feeling better as they do not want any other bad food to be sold to others. She offered to make it right by having me visiting again but I will be passing. I do appreciate the communication as well as knowing they are checking the food. Adding a star for the owner speaking to me and trying to rectify the situation. read more
