TamaleBoyz

Tamale Boyz is Tulsa's legendary home of the Fried Tamale, located on historic Route 66 in southwest Tulsa. Founded by Abel Murrieta Ruiz, whose journey began as a teenager selling tamales from a car, then a snow cone shack, then a food truck before opening their beloved brick-and-mortar restaurant in 2022, Tamale Boyz is a true Tulsa success story. Every tamale is handcrafted using traditional recipes passed down through generations, and the menu is packed with authentic Mexican favorites including birria tacos, street tacos, chilaquiles, protein bowls, and the famous fried tamale smothered in mozzarella and nacho cheese. Vegan and plant-based options are available using Impossible meat. Fast service, real flavors, and a community built one tamale at a time.
