🇲🇽 SINALOA, MÉXICO (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - The flavors of Cosalá, in Sinaloa's highlands, have a home on Alondra Blvd. in Bellflower. For just over two years, the bright pink words “Carolina Tamales” have announced themselves to passersby at the busy Alondra Blvd. and Clark Avenue intersection in Bellflower. If you read the smaller sign, you will be invited to try “estilo Sinaloa” and if you pick up the menu you will see even that narrowed down to the Pueblo Mágico of Cosalá.

As with restaurants that offer food from Culiacán, Sinaloa’s capital which lives on lower ground about 155 kilometers from Cosalá, the food focuses more on the land than the sea. While you might be tempted by tacos de marlin that show up on the menu, it is plates of chilorio ($18.95) that should take top billing. This dish of slow-cooked pork that is then fried with chiles once tender is available with eggs or vegetables. Each plate comes with rice, a wedge of white cheese, and a pool of frijoles puercos, one of the most amazing foods that come from Sinaloa.

Sunday brunch with my family was outstanding. Carolina Tamales in bellflower has the most amazing service, and delicious food. Not to mention the overall establishment is clean and welcoming. It felt like I was having brunch at my mom's house. My compliments to the chef. Everything we had was amazing.
We had the pozole, menudo, chorizo plate and barbacoa. If you haven't tried Carolina Tamales you need to! Thank you to everyone specially Alfredo.

Really bad! I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS BY THE WAY. We used to love this place a lot. The food was good and service. However, as we continued coming, it kept on getting worst with every visit.
I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING, customer service is HORRIBLE! The ladies don’t know how to service people nor how to multi task. Expect to wait a while to be seated even though it’s empty lol The tables are always dirty and when they clean them, they will spray chemicals right next to you as you’re eating. Expect to wait long if you need something or when you ask for your check. Employees spend alot of time inside away from customers (and i mean The place is small, hole in the wall)

Today we asked for cafe de Hoya, we were told they ran out ?it was only 11 am, they offered reg coffee and we took it. It tasted like pure water, HORRIBLE. I then asked for a topo chico which is advertised with chamoy and tajin. She comes back saying they only have room temp which i said It was ok with a cup on ice. I got A plain topo chico, no chamoy or tajin. Still we let it go in spite of her Bringing it like 20 minutes later after we had to remind her . Food took for ever and all the plates came out at very different times. The beans are sooo water down now. Again, the place was empty by the way, they only had 3 tables of couples. Anyways, 2 ladies sat next to us, they order coffee and the lady comes out within 5 min and tells her “its cafe de Hoya, i just Made you a cup because we had ran out” EXCUSE ME! But we were told they ran out and brought us a disgusting water down coffee. Clearly they don’t treat customers the same and that’s shameful and we had been coming here for a while. Don’t come here, there are so many great “Sinaloa” spots in the area with good customer service. We used to always recommend this place to ppl but We will never be back here.

Corn elotes are delicious which they bring in from somewhere because there not made there and that’s why I’ve gone there because there customer service is mediocre and the guy that works there should work in the back cleaning the parking lot without a hat so the sun can shine on him where the sun don’t shine

Parking: Park in the back and walk to the front
