Reviews for Nana's Tamales-Temecula Tamale Factory & Catering by Michell in Temecula, CA

My sister told me that this place had the best tamales and that I would love them. So I made the drive from Arizona and she... was right. They are very good. Especially the chile verde that you can put over them. Don't forget the chips and salsa aredelicious as well. Read more

I have eaten at Nana?s Tamales once with my husband and we both enjoyed our food. Hubby had chicken tacos and said that these... are the best chicken tacos. I had a tamale plate and it was good. The restaurant is modest and has no customer restroom. Also,beware that they charge you 3.5% for using a credit card, but do not tell you upfront. I found out when I looked at my receipt. Read more

Wow! We were able to go to the Grand Re-Opening back in March. Our friends told us about Nana's. We were skeptical because we... have family members who make excellent tamales. However, this place is fantastic! I was able to meet Michelle. She gave us a rundown of who she is, what she stands for and her passion for her restaurant. 10/10 would highly recommend. Read more

You get what you pay for. It?s a small kitchen and they make everything by hand. Frequently runs out of the most popular dishes.... This is not a fast food place with a cookie cutter menu and cheep pricing. I had a great experience here today. CongratulationsNana?s Tamales New Mexico Style Foods on winning the great American cook off On The Good Dish. I did have the winning dish todayin the photos. Red Pork Tamales with Green Chili the perfect portion size and magnificent family style flavors right out of anhonest kitchen. Thank you Michelle. Read more

Amazing flavor!! Perfect for sharing if you get the burrito. The enchiladas were the perfect portion size for one. I could eat... there once a week for sure. Read more

So this was my wifes and my first time at Nana's Tamales and Catering a restaurant in Old Town Temecula that has New Mexico... influences. My wife enjoys Tamales so I wanted give Nana's a try. I tried the Christmas burrito which would allow me to try twodose. The burrito half chile Verde and half chile colorado served wet with red and green sauce. The burritos was great willdefinitely have again. I did like the chile Verde more, its very flavorful being made in the New Mexico style with hatch greenchilies. As for my Wife's Tamales, she had beef, pork and a sweet one. My wife really really enjoyed the beef and porktamales. She enjoyed them so much she's already planning her next trip which is suprising for her. As for the sweet tamale, shedecided against trying it and gave it to her grandson but I didn't hear how he liked it. Read more
