Delightful food and sweet staff members on a budget. Tamales here are inexpensive and delight. We make it a point to stop in during vacation (from Missouri!) and grab a dozen or 2 to bring home. Amazing little find that is the food gem of the secret coast!

My first time today actually getting something, have passed by many times. I got a beef and cheese quesadilla and it was delicious. Just a little on the greasy side. The joint itself hole in the wall restaurant, really doesn't look like much from the outside. But its quite cozy inside, even though very small. Some tables and chairs outside to sit. Overall, a very pleasant experience, I am definitely coming back and try more items from the menu.

Love this little local spot. Great service, prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Highly recommend.

Great place to eat. Very friendly staff! Didn’t care for tamales till I ate theirs! Now I’m hooked! Great variety of menu selections for such a small, cute food place! We will become regulars here!

Want a good Tamale, take a drive to D'Iberville, The Burrito Zone has excellent tamales. Hate to bust bubbles but Tamale Shak tamales are far smaller and lack flavor. Chicken tacos, pesto for a filler? I've never?

When I am in Gulfport I always stop in and get some tamales. The tamale pie is outstanding and I always bring home a couple off dozen. I love this place!

Great food with friendly and fast service! Must have the sauce!

Heard about their tamales so had to stop by. Customer service was great. Tamales were smaller then expected for the price, but they were still good. Recommend stopping by for lunch, they have other menu items. I plan to try the whole thing.

Literally the best people and the best food I’ve ever had in Gulfport! The Loaded burrito and the Tamale pie are both to die for! Absolutely Amazing!

Wendy, Jesse and entire staff are amazing!! Food is exceptional… great atmosphere!!!
