Love this location. First time and i was blown away with the tamale texture, flavors and size. Very well worth the 6+ dollars per.

This cute tamale shop is a hole in the wall. Many have called it the best tamale shop in Washington state, and I hold some reservations. A tamale is often eaten by working-class people and is prized as an affordable meal. A tamale at Frelard costs $6.50 plus tax which I found so exorbitant that it took away from my experience. Prices were also not listed, which d felt deceptive. The service was kind, but I did wait in line for nearly five minutes despite one person being at the counter. Now the tamales range from vegan to meat-filled corn husks. I had the salsa verde and salsa rojo tamales which lacked heat and were slightly dry. However, the mesh of flavor did give me an inkling of home.

I tried Freland’s vegan tamale option today, and I could not believe how incredible it was. Most vegan and vegetarian tamales seem to lack the depth of flavor of a traditional chicken/pork tamale. I am always left wanting more. Not today…

I heard about this place from someone that lives nearby. Each visit to Seattle I enjoy trying new food places. Tamales just happen to be my very favourite Mexican fare so I had to give Freland Tamales a try. The tamale I purchased today was incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever had something as authentic as this tamale. The presentation stunning as the handmade effort is notable in a corn husk wrapped tamale with a beautiful red tie. The pickled vegetables are reminiscent of a Mexican restaurant I like in Las Vegas called Tacos Mexico. Taste of everything was delicious! Well worth a visit for exquisite Mexican cuisine at a low low price of seven bucks. Walk up order window. I believe you can also order ahead and pick up. The staff very friendly and courteous.

The food itself is great, as good as tamales can be. Vegetarian and vegan options are much appreciated. But they make you line up behind 5 or 6 six customers looking to buy meals, to buy one extra hot salsa….in the middle of your meal!! Its like asking someone to line up for 15 mins for ketchup. The person was not nice to me either, even though I was not mean or rude to them. Ruined my experience with their attitude. May not go back for a while, all they had to do was be nice(r) about asking me to line up for an extra side of salsa.

I drove by this place many times and always saw the line. Today my husband and I decided to try it out. I bought all three meat tamales and they were 6.50 each. It was hot and smell so good. They also gave sour cream, pickled carrots, and a green hot sauce (not sure what the name is). My husband likes the pork, I like the chicken the most, chorizo and cheese is my least favorite but it is still tasty. We will be back again and try the sweet tamales.

I’m going to start by saying that I love tamales. I was excited to see a tamales window/shop along the street. I was even more excited to see the variety of tamales available. I ordered the salsa roja pork tamale which tasted phenomenal. They provided a side of carrots, as well as salsa and sour cream. The server was really friendly and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommend!

Probably the best tamales I’ve had in my life. The price of 6.50$ is one you can’t beat and they come HEFTY. They were hot and moist and not dry unlike some tamales I’ve had previously.
