    When I am back in town I try to come here at least once. Been coming here since mid 90s. Flavor seems slighlty different but still good quality as many years ago. This is one place if you haven't been you must visit at least once. Than you will be back for more.

    Only drive thru available, but got their famous Sanchos. They tasted like I remember them years ago. ( We have moved to Colorado and hadn't had these for about 7 yrs). Wish I knew exactly what their secret is (recipe for meat and the recipe for the sauce) Have tried to duplicate the flavor for years and can't seem to get it right

    Loved this place since I was a kid. There's a little nostalgia when it comes to old location. Still great food!

    Ok so my stop at Jolly Tamale was a good experience. Ordered a sancho and also an enchilada both of them were quite tasty. Pricing was very reasonable. It was a great place to stop for a quick meal. Additionally I decided to go ahead and try one of these Mexican apple pies. Basically it's cinnamon crisps chips with melted cheddar cheese and also whipped cream sprinkle with Red Hots pretty good stuff.

    It was very fresh tasting. Hot sauce very good. Only drive up ordering, No indoor seating.

    Their food is so good. Easily one of my favs but their meat seems to be cold almost every time I order from them. Even if I ate as soon as I received it. I would suggest to them to please keep the meat hot.
