    I love this place. My boyfriend put me onto this joint and I can’t stop coming back. I always get the 4 red and 4 green pork tamales and the orange juice. To die for. Best spot.

    Un lugar que tiene buena comida y gente bien amable. I love coming here to get my tamales and arroz con leche. The staff are always kind and work hard in the back. I went today during Christmas Eve and they told me the time they were available to have the tamales I wanted and would come back until I got them. Which were so good as always. I recommend this place to go order and eat. If you come during the holidays please be patient and nice towards the staff as they are overwhelmed and working hard in the heat.

    The service is always very friendly. Everyone always treats u with respect & kindness. I'm not Mexican but, who doesn't love tamales. There tamales i've been eating for years. I enjoy the green ones and the sweet one the strawberry one more. Tamales are for only ($2.00). Go check them out if ever in the area some of the best tamales.

    The best tamales!! My favorite are the chicken jalopeno, but you can't go wrong with any of them.

    Came to buy some tamales, I don't always trust the street vendors. I trust this place better, since they do have to pass inspections etc. Their tamales are good, and their service was fast. There are a few tables to sit and eat but I just picked up to go. The visit was fast and the tamales I got were non meat. Unfortunately there is no parking, only street paid parking. If you stop by the holidays, you need to be there early to get what you want, or you'll have to wait until a new batch comes out. You can buy half of dozen or a dozen. I like the queso con rajas.

    Great tamales I had the rajas con queso and pollo rojo. Great spot to buy a bunch of tamales for you and the crew but also a good deal for a yummy lunch at $6 for arroz y frijoles and 2 tamales. No seating at the moment.
