Tamales Moreno is a Mexican joint located in Lakewood, CO, known for its delicious tamales. Despite its humble appearance, this dilapidated yellow shack serves some of the best tamales in town, made with silky masa, succulent pork or chicken, and flavorful green chile. Whether you prefer them bundled in Ziploc bags or smothered in extra chile, Tamales Moreno is a must-visit for tamale lovers.
With a focus on quality and flavor, Tamales Moreno has gained a reputation for its mouthwatering corn-husk-wrapped tamales. The tamale master, Jesus Moreno, opened this joint in 2011, and since then, it has become a go-to spot for locals craving authentic Mexican cuisine. Don't let the grubby decor deter you, as the tamales at Tamales Moreno are worth every bite.
