The tamales were decent when they first opened, but today I had hard time finding meat in the pork tamales. Barely found a sliver of meat on a greasy masa tamale. I thought possible mistake so I went to ask for a different one, but sadly it was just as bad.

Located inside the Northgate mall. Very good tamales, with many flavors and styles to choose from, most at $3 each. I've been here twice - the first time was at dinner time and they were out of all the meat tamales and just had corn and other sweet varieties. Don't know if this is the norm, but for the second visit I went at lunchtime and they had a full selection. Flavor of the pork tamales was very good, but there was very little meat. The mall itself is packed with shoppers and diners, both at lunchtime and at dinnertime, and the parking lot can be a zoo. Recommend parking farther out and walking to the mall.
Parking: Parking lot is a zoo

Best tamales I’ve ever had! I got the elote (sweet) and pollo (savoury) flavours. They were super fresh and hot, and what especially stood out to me was how HUGE they were. They’re priced similarly or cheaper than competitors in Orange County, but they’re about 1.5 times the size of others and have more filling, so they’re a great value! Also, the line moved pretty quickly even on a Sunday. I will be back soon.

Rude and super disorganized. Apparently there is a section where you're supposed to order but no one mans it and we're basically told that all 10 of us in line had to go back after we'd been ignored. If Saturday go Soco to get me guesta tamles instead or go to the cart that's parked outside on
