Tamales Escondido is a small, family-run business that offers a delightful menu with tamales as the star. The restaurant opens daily at 5:30 am with fresh tamales, though they often sell out of most flavors. Customers are warmly welcomed by the friendly and charming staff, who provide a pleasant experience. The tamales, including pork, beef, cheese with jalapeño, and pineapple, are described as very fresh and absolutely delicious, with a moist and flavorful masa. The pineapple tamales are particularly praised as a fan favorite. In addition to tamales, the menu features other tempting items, such as tortas and a Birria Quesadilla, which have also received positive reviews. Tamales Escondido has become a go-to destination for those seeking high-quality, homemade tamales, surpassing the convenience of Costco options. Customers recommend the restaurant as a great take-out option, though they do have a table if you wanted to eat there. The hours on Google may not be accurate, as the restaurant closes for lunch but reopens in the evening.
