Bought a dlz of Talmales. 1/2 red and 1/2 green. 1 Pinapple sweet 1 cheese. The Tamles were nothing but masa. The sweet had no pineapple, the cheese had to dig in the masa to find a piece of cheese. WOULD NEVER EVER recommend this place. Lost 50.dlrs. I'm feeding these tamales to my Pit Bull and he's looking at me like momma please season this food..

I have been a customer since 1993. After the pandemic the prices have increased and the size of tamales smaller. The dough has no flavor and dry. The filling although good flavor there is considerably less. Sorry Maria.

They used to be really good! Now the last dozen we got (green Chili Chicken) were not cooked throughly…. Come on how hard is it to make a decent tamale…..

I've been coming here for years and this place remains consistent and delicious. There is a wait to make your purchase but the wait is worth it. As soon as you walk in you can smell the delicious aroma of tamales. They have red and green made of pork, then rajas con queso, and sweet flavors (pineapple and strawberry), all are delicious and very fluffy. Service is quick and the ladies are super friendly. The parking is shared with other businesses and a church so at times it's challenging to get a spot.

Best tamales in the LA county. The line is always long because the food is worth it! We have been coming here for over 10 years & are always happy with the service and quality of food. The prices have increased due inflation but this small business deserves every penny!
The tamales are just as I remember and definitely aren't skimpy with filling. Good size, and great flavor. The masa is so moist! Service is fast and efficient and they get you in an out quickly. I definitely recommend getting there early (I usually arrive by 430am since they open at 5am). Never had any problems getting exactly what I want.

I used to love coming here for the torta de tamale and their salsa is really good and spicy , I went yesterday to purchase 2 dz tamales and 1 full dozen of the tamales where not cooked !! UPDATE!!!!!!!!! I went to let them know and they offered me 1dz or my money back. I know during the holidays it gets busy but I'm really glad and greatful that they were kind honest and gave me a refund

Great Tamales! This is my go to place for tamales. It is convenient to pick up and the taste is delicious.I have been buying tamales here for years and I have never been disappointed. Very consistent quality and taste. Worth a few minutes wait in line! They serve on a first come first serve basis until they run out. I highly recommend these Tamales!

They used to be the great tamales but now the suck!!! There more expensive with hardly any meat and sauce so what's the purpose of them charging more??? I remember when they were 18 dollars for a dozen a few years ago but this last 2 years there hiking the prices up 35 a dozen. I understand the minimum wage and product is more expensive but if your charging more??? at least keep Making them like before!!!!!
