La Esmeralda Tamale House - Longmont

Their food it's just delicious, I have a friend whom didn't like tamales to much but when I gave to try a jalapeño with cheese loved them? the habanero sauce is very spice but are incredible taste you can't stop eating

Super chill little hole in the wall. I tried the pork tamales and I'm sad I only got a half dozen! I'll be back asap, these are amazing.

I was excited to see tamales at a farmers market so I bought some. So my review is only based on what I had- pork chicken tamales. Maybe I’m spoiled by having had really good tamales before, but there was nothing special about these ones. Not memorable enough to make me want to go back buy more. Too much masa, not much flavor not much spice. Meat was extra ground up. The pork had a small amount of red sauce, but the chicken didnt seem to have any sauce. Maybe I was supposed to purchase salsa on the side or something to dip, I’m not sure.

Business hours need to be changed. They do not reflect reality.

We got tamales and fresh salsa from the stand at the Ft. Collins Farmer's Market. We had an excellent experience, made for a great lunch and Tamale are hard to find and even harder to make (I know!)Im sure they have a limited supply of tamales specifically, I could not speak to the restaurant experience in Estes Park, however if you are at the farmer's market I would definitely recommend!
