HOUSTON – Customers rushed to Alamo Tamales at 2310 Navigation Boulevard Tuesday morning to enjoy the tamales one last time before the location closes.
In early November, the restaurant posted signage announcing it would be vacating the location Jan. 1.

Customers will still be able to get their tamale fix at the original location at 809 Berry Road.
“Best tamales in town at this location,” a customer who stopped by before heading to work, told KPRC 2. “I haven’t tried the ones down over there on Berry but at this location, they’ve always turned out great.”
The Navigation location became a tradition for many Houstonians who would stop by to purchase tamales by the dozen on Christmas Eve.

A restaurant staff member told KPRC 2 the business would remain open for the day until it ran out of tamales.
Alamo Tamales offers fresh and daily-made homemade and machine-made tamales.
Its menu features pork, chicken, beef, jalapeño and cheese, bean, sweet corn, spinach, Salvadorean tamales and sweet tamales during the holiday season. Its best selling tamale is homemade pork, according to a fragment on its site.
