Rude customer service as I walked in the door from cashier telling me to catch my breath. I ordered two tamales de pińa, just for them to be raw!! Got to work, gave them a call for a refund and they asked me to drive all the way back just to “show” them. Rude service and tamales so disappointing. See photos

Best tamales in el sereno!! Menudo all week is a huge plus!! I love this place and will remain a loyal customer!!
I'm coming back to leave an updated review. Since my last post about 3 years ago, I found out that ownership has changed. This happened early this year (2025). The menu has gotten a little bigger with a few new items added. My family and I still enjoy our Sundays here. The first time we had been back since new management took over, the lady there was very nice and our food came out quick and was very good. Today, 3-23-25, food again was very good but service was beyond slow. I waited close to 45 minutes for my food, the tamale breakfast plate. My son had ordered just two tamales and they had forgotten to bring them out. The tamales were hot when they brought them out, but forgetting about his food was a little messed up. By the time I had gotten my plate, my sister in law and mother in law had already finished their food. The food was very good, don't get me wrong, but waiting was a bit overboard. I hate to drop my star rating, but I do hope the new ownership can get a handle on maybe speeding up the food process. My family and I will still be back, because we love tamale man. Hopefully I can add the star back again.

I left a post and tamale man took it off, well I said I wanted a $5.60 tamale but they do not sell them only the $ 20.00 tamales so I didn't end up with nothing, just wanted a small tamale, I was bummed
