Don't go here
The service was nonexistant and the food was unsatisfactory. Way to much pepper on the meat.    [28 Feb 2004 20:26:55]

This Place Is Great
I love this place! Seriously, Hot Tamales is my FAVORITE mexican restaurant in Fairbanks! Even though the outside of the building and the location doesn't seem fantastic the inside of the restaurant creates an authentic aumbiance that creates the feel that you are eating real Mexican food. I think Hot Tamales is great!    [25 Oct 2006 14:18:29]

Outsider Who Loves His Tamales!
I lived in Fairbanks for about two years and worked at Geek City Electronics on Minnie Street. About once or twice a week I would make it over to The Hot Tamale. Great beer, superb buffet, nice wait staff, awesome atmosphere. If you ever find yourself in Fairbanks Alaska and you love authentic Mexican food served by Spanish speaking Mexicans, then Hot Tamale is the Arctic Mexican restaurant for you!    [16 Feb 2007 02:26:26]
