No frills but tamales are excellent.

The tamales were outstanding. We ordered 6 tamales to go; beef, chicken, pork, one green and one red of each. This allowed us to taste a variety and we were impressed. The masa was soft and the fillings so tasty. We especially liked the green beef tamales, but they were all very good. I need to go back soon.

Red chicken is delicious (not spicy)Red is better than green. Beef is also delicious.I'm full after just eating one tamal. I come here often when I want to grab a quick meal nearby.

I was there the other day to satisfy a "tamale craving"! Got the Rajas with cheese + some green salsa. Very yummy, and pleased to enjoy a tamale that was not dry as I've experienced at other places.
What can I say EXCELLENT TAMALES! Highly recommend for take

The food was excellent and priced very well. We had Tamales Jovita cater for our wedding event and everybody loved the food. They’re not usually open on Sunday but they worked hard and was open for us to make our day special!Definitely check this place out if you’re looking for great food!

I had high expectations based on the comments, but maybe I was unlucky since the day I went the tamales were terrible, they tasted sour and old, they didn't have much filling. I had to throw them away.
Just stop by, I could heard ladies talking in the back, I tried to get their attention, they never came out.I could easily grab some tamales myself and they would never notice.Awful service.
