Great tamale spot and super kind staff! (They also offer tortas starting at 11am.) Best as a take out option, though they do have a table if you wanted to eat there.

I got the chicken tamales, they were only $3.25 each and had a good amount of meat in them. They tasted really good too, highly recommend this place.
Also the hours on Google are wrong, they close for lunch but reopen in the evening.

It’s hard to find a good cheese tamale. The ones here aren’t good, they’re great!

Have realized now that most tamales I’ve had were just OK, compared to the ones from this little place. Such great flavor, generous amount of meat in the chicken and pork ones. Will be returning to try whatever else they make, and more tamales.

My family loves tamales for Christmas and we usually (don't judge) get them at Costco a few days before. We neglected to purchase on time and didn't want to fight the lines at Costco but remembered hearing about this little gem. This is a small, family run business that offers a limited but delightful menu with tamales as the star. They were sold out of most of the flavors but was told that they open each day at 5:30am with fresh tamales. I came back the following morning and what a pleasant experience. So warm, friendly and charming the moment I entered. I purchased pork, beef, cheese with jalapeno and pineapple tamales. All very fresh and absolutely delicious. The masa was very good and moist with plenty of filling. I've never been a huge fan of sweet tamales but I understand why their pineapple tamales are a fan favorite as I found myself eating more than 1 at home.I noticed several other items on the menu that I will be trying in a week or so. They have some great looking tortas (the Cubano caught my eye) and the BirriaQuesadilla looked amazing too.So, no more Costco tamales (now you can judge) at Christmas or any other time now that I've been exposed to Tamales Escondido.
