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.

We ended up here after visiting the Mission Christmas lights. Not impressed with the lights at the Mission.
However, we were walking around the area and found this place.
The chicken and pork tamales were quite delicious. Moist. Very tasty.
I LOVED the beans and rice. Just like I would make at home. Very tasty.
Although the Mission Christmas lights were a loss IMHO, this restaurant made the night.

This place is how should I put it… NOT authentic. The food was just ok. If only they had a REALLY good actually spicy salsa it would save the food for us San Diegans who are used to great Mexican food.

Decided to stop for brunch and ordered the 2 tamale plate with rice and beans. Husband order green chilaquiles that came with potatoes and beans. The chilaquiles was basically a layered casserole of tortillas and you had a choice of red or green sauce. I selected the pork and sweet corn tamale. The pork tamale was tender pork and the masa was pretty soft. The corn tamale was sweet and tasted good but the masa was not as soft as the pork tamale. Loved the spinach pineapple Aqua Fresca and the service was great. I don’t think I would come again since you have to pay for parking on mission street
