So good! Three tamales for $11. Red pork, green chicken and chicken tinga. All good and a nice tamale portion. Salsa was delicious as well- and had a nice kick. If I lived here, tamales wouldn't be a Christmas only experience...and I may not want to make my own! Fun vibe with all the food truck options, but don't skip these tamales. Nice guy at the counter, too! read more

Yes please. When I saw Yolanda's Tamales I knew there was nowhere else I would rather eat in the whole food park. The staff was really nice and patient while I tried to figure out what I would get (the whole menu? I wish). The tamals came out hot, fresh and delicious. I can't wait to return and sample more of their menu! read more

Very good! The tamales are fresh, quite large, and packed with flavor. The Pico... well I thought it was actually a side salad it was so large, and it's out of this world delicious. The owner is gracious and attentive. A 5/5 all around! 2025 #11 read more

The worker was pretty friendly and I thought the food was really good. They have a lot to offer but I tried the carnitas tamales.... good!

Wow I ordered 2 tamales today for lunch. They were very tasty and just the right size. There was a great selection of tamales, tacos, etc. The owner let me take a picture of him and you can see his menu behind him. Great guy brought my food out to me and was very nice. I recommend checking out his food truck if you are at the yard. Sorry I did not get a pic of the tamales. Take my word for it his truck rocks . read more

This review is for the "Will Ya Look at That, Just Look at It, Healthy Cuisine" truck. So, I've been pursuing a fitness goal so I've cut out a lot of different kinds of foods while pursuing my goal like meat, dairy, gluten, and refined sugar. I met Jorgé and I picked his truck because he had baked avocados and other sides that were the closest thing to my preferred range of foods. I told him I was pretty much a vegan and he asked me about four questions to get me exactly what I wanted. The baked avocados and sides were delicious, it was exactly what I wanted, and I felt cared about, important, and heard! It was a great experience. Grab some of his baked avocados and sides if you're at the Yard Park Food Truck Pavilion in Salem! You won't regret it! read more

10/10 I have been vegetarian for 6 years and have never found vegan tamale options with such variety. Such amazing service and quality food. They told me different options to warm up my extra goodies and let me try all the sauces because I was curious. Just writing this I'm craving one! Go to the yard and get yourself the best Tamales in Salem read more

I really enjoyed the friendly staff and atmosphere that they curated here. Truly a great experience with incredible food to boot. The dish was perfect thank you so much! I'll be sure to return and bring the family along, there are too many amazing options for me to order alone. Haha. Again, Kudos! Toodles my friends. read more

Best pozole I've ever had... and this means a lot because every year I ask my grandma to make pozole for my birthday. The tamale was so delicious too! My husband and I really enjoyed the jalapeño crema. I will be here often! The service was great too! The man at the truck was very friendly! read more

Lunch at Yolanda's today. Had a chicken tamale with rice and beans. Tamale had a plentiful amount of chicken, and rice was a nice consistency and not dried out at all. Tasty lunch for about $12. Couldn't finish it all. Service was very patient as I poured over the extensive menu and asked a lot of questions. Lots of seating available at The Yard. Check it out if you haven't done so already! read more

I'm sorry I didn't take pics before we dug in! The service made for an incredible experience!! We got savory and sweet tamales. The tamales were good what made them great was the sauces! They add so much complexity to the flavors. The homemade sour cream was delicious. The pazole both looked and smelled amazing and we can't wait to come back and try it. We are kicking ourselves because we always love to try food from several places when we come to food truck yard like this and the most expensive dish we got at another truck was overcooked and inedible and my husband said we should have gone ahead and gotten the pazole instead! read more

Super delicious tamales and salsas! Cannot wait to go back and try more! The owner is super kind and wonderful too! Love the fact that they use avocado oil and no seed oils! Delicious!! read more

Had the BEST lunch today!! The service at Yolanda's just took it over the top! Fast, friendly, sincere... He commented that it was the perfect day for posole, and when I couldn't decide on a flavor of salsa, he gave me both. He also shared which tamales had just come out of the steamer so that I could make a choice that was fast and got me back to work on time. The pork posole was FULL of big chunks of perfectly cooked pork and hominy, and came with a healthy serving of chips, salsa, onions, cabbage, and lime. The red pork tamale was fresh and soft and big enough to save some for later. The combo also came with a Jarritos. All for less than $15!!! There is a lot of options on their menu. I've been before, and plan to go back. Great Job Yolanda's! read more

Yolanda's Tamales - menu and prices - Mexican Near Me - Salem, Oregon

If authentic is what your after look no farther than Yolandia's. The Beef tamales was larger than I expected with a fair portion of meat. ( I think all tamale should have more meat in them) this filled the bill. I also sampled a pork tamale the pork was correctly season moist and flavorful. But what really topped it off with the choice of sauces you had I suggest trying the Cucumber it was spicy and really flavorful! Come down and give them a try maybe I'll see you there? read more

Great flavors! The red chicken tamales were very robust and the green pork were sublime. Worth the trip from Portland.

Hands down the best food at the Yard! Incredible food and even better service! Do yourself a favor and order the baked avacado!

My favorite tamales and people. I hope she is ok the stand hasn't been open when i drove by.

Oh dear goodness the food is DELICIOUS!!! I have eaten at a couple other carts in the yard but nothing compared to Yolanda's! Jorge is super friendly and accommodating. I just knew I wanted to try a baked avocado (I love ). He suggested the pollo verde with corn salsa and it did not disappoint! My 7 year old is super picky and she liked the avocado with cheese (it was overflowing with pollo verde so finding plain avocado with cheese was not an easy task!) Jorge offered to make her one with just avocado and cheese next time (so I didn't have to try and make plain spots.) And trust me, there will be a next time!!! Jorge said they are open Mon-Fri so they can spend time with family on the weekends (that just makes me want to eat there more- amazing food and all about family!) If your looking for amazing food and great service, this is the spot! read more

I ordered pozole with chicken . It comes with chips and chopped salad / salsa dressings . The pozole was PACKED with chicken and other ingredients . This is an entire meal and then some . I order medium spicy , I should have done spicy but I was tasting other food and did not burn out my tongue. It was hot and tasty I will definitely get this again perhaps in the small size and explore other items on the menu. The guy working the booth is very friendly and helpful , I'm happy to support this business and hope others take the opportunity to enjoy their food ! read more

Super friendly, authentic, home-cooked Mexican food that tasted amazing and felt like it was made with Love. I loved both the salsas we had and the baked avocado with Spanish rice and refried beans hit the spot! Thank you Jorge! read more

huge amount of food, super nice guy!!!! my wife and daughter loved their dishes! best! read more

Yolanda's Tamales - Giant servings!!! Great food - Mexican Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Lots of great places to eat at the Yard Food truck collective but I'd like to highlight "Will Ya Look at That"and Yolanda's Tamales. I'm trying to boost them for two reasons: I had to leave town before being able to make a purchase I promised to make. Second, literally the best tamales I've had from a restaurant. I grew up eating Sonoran style mexican food in southern Arizona and my absolute favorite dish was homemade tamales. Any tamale that I've eaten since leaving Arizona has been mediocre. Some have even been good but not "Yolanda's" good (including a place in my old hometown that 'specializes' in tamales). Here, the masa is the key. They do it right: using an excellent grind of their masa harina. I'm not sure of the shortening used but classic tamales are made with light whipped manteca (lard). Lastly, the purveyor confirmed the final ingredient to fantastic masa: broth from your protein. The end result is a creamy, firm texture with delicious flavor, and then you get to the meat of the matter: a wide selection of chicken bases, beef, pork and more. We tried Yolanda's favorite with tasty beef and braised veggies- my wife's favorite and closest to my hometown's flavor. I enjoyed the green chili chicken immensely. Sorry we didn't make it back to you; I hope your product gets the recognition it truly deserves. TL:DR REALLY F*!$ING GREAT TAMALES Yolanda's Tamales can be found at the Yard food truck collective. read more

Their baked avocado with red chicken was incredible, and their sauces are on point. Highly recommend!

AMAZING steaming hot food on a cold day. Tamales and avacado jalapeños salsa were fantastic. Friendly service. We will be back!

The baked avocado! Dont pass up this Hispanic treasure cart without trying it. We had one thing from several carts and I'm glad we stopped here. The guy was very kind, and could see what we wanted before we even knew. Dont go to the cart stop without giving this one a try. read more

The pozole is delicious and served daily. The tamales are full of tender, juicy meat. This please has fresh food and everything was very good. The guy working even helped us carry our food out to the car so we wouldn't have to make two trips. We have been there twice and will definitely go back many more times. read more

The tamales are amazing and so are the salads and baked avocado. He is also very friendly and helpful. Don't miss eating at this cart.
