4worldlovers:
The recipes at the Tamale Factory have been in our family for generations. Our homemade tamales, soups, and sauces have authentic Mexican flavors. We use only the freshest ingredients to create all of our food. From the soups to the salads, the tacos to the tamales, it’s all made right here in our own kitchen where quality is our priority.

We take pride in our time-tested family recipes because our mothers wouldn’t have it any other way. The Tamale Factory is located in the Main Street Mall in Historic Downtown Riverside, across from the Mission Inn. Overtime it has become a favorite spot for many Riverside diners and we can’t wait to show you why. Enjoy breakfast and lunch at the Tamale Factory today.

4worldlovers: This place is soooo good. My mom is from Mexico DF and I can't believe this place has all my favorite dishes she made growing up. Not only is the food great but the service is also awesome. The people are so friendly. I've been here when it's crazy packed and they were still very friendly and didn't wait long. It's cash only so be prepared.

Cash only! Not air conditioned. I had the Alambre, which was good, but very very greasy. I would be open to trying something else, but would not get that same dish again.

4worldlovers: We put all our passion into our recipes and make our tamales the way our ancestors did, just as our abuelitas taught us to do.


Our carefully hand-picked menu features dishes made with the freshest produce and meats that have been sourced from local farms, which allows us to deliver quality dishes right to your table.

"A gem to find in Rancho. Great authentic Mexican food! We ate the red pozole and carne asada street tacos; both where very yummy. And, the chips and salsa were also fresh and homemade tasting. We felt like we part of the family at a family bbq. Great friendly service as well. These are my favorite restaurant- bought tamales ever! They taste homemade. Try the chicken or pork, promise they won't disappoint!"


"The atmosphere was lovely. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I never eat all my food but finished the entire plate!!! Service was so good the server was very attentive! Prices were very reasonable. Loved it!!"

Vegan Tamales are so good. Thank you for the awesome customer service and fast with my order. I will be back.

Everything was delicious, but let me just say the pupusa was AMAZING. I want to order over and over again just to eat the pupusa.

Great vegan options like empanadas and tamales. I don't live close but I come by every time I'm in the area.
