I have been purchasing Albertos Tamales for Christmas for as long as I can remember. I didnt realize that Celaya bakery (where I first started purchasing the a long time ago.them) purchased the Tamales from Albertos. When Celaya Bakerly in Echo Park closed , they Opened Albertos #2 in Douglas. I still rive from Chino Hills to LA for these Tamales. I have tried places closer and even the popular place in ELA but I can only recommend Albertos. I am not a big Tamale fan and Albertos Tamale are perfect size and the Maza , meat ratio are perfect, The cheese Tamales are like no other, The green very spicy and the pineapple is so good. This year I tried the Mole and will definitely add it to my order next year. I shared a few with my coworkers and they also agreed that they are delish. If you dont like Dried Tamales or Tamales that are a brick of Masa and a small peice of dried meat. You will love these 🫔.

As many reviewers have already pointed out, the tamales here are exceptional. I tried several different varieties and every one of them was excellent! Standouts include the pork with red sauce, the chicken mole and the chili and cheese...but they were all delicious! And, the person that took my order [perhaps, the owner and/or manager of this restaurant?] was very friendly and welcoming. I only tried the wonderful tamales at this establishment, so I can't wait to try some other items from the menu.

This afternoon was the first time I tried this tamale Mexican restaurant and I have to say that I fell in love with their freshly made chicken tamales I'm not sure if this is the same place everybody goes crazy for for the Christmas tamales but I'll definitely say I'll be coming back soon

I got the breakfast burrito. I did add avocado. It totaled to $15.00! I’m going to be honest LA breakfast burritos are sometimes that amount and…small and flavorless. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE!!! They did it justice with a good portion and the chips and salsa that came with it were good. They had a tomato sauce that was not spicy and a green one that was I mean what a great combo. I didn’t look for ketchup the sauces were enough to add a kick. The potatoes were cooked great and honestly it came together wonderfully. The service was great they were pretty busy when I came and were still nice and attentive. They even apologized for the wait (it was no less than 10-15 mins but the care was appreciated) I hope to eat in next time because the horchata looked delicious but I didn’t get to try it. They have a variety of food and some limited space for sitting but overall I liked my first time in this restaurant! I took my order to go and I don’t know of they’re related but I did grab a coffee next door it’s like a little alley with fake grass and it seemed like they coffee cart may be connected to the restaurant. Coffee spots only open Wednesday-Sunday and I grabbed the mocha de piaxtle. If you don’t like some spice in your coffee perhaps don’t try that…I enjoyed it! It was a new experience to have spice in a coffee but it melded well. It wasn’t that sweet tho!

This is an amazing spot we discovered just yesterday near Echo Park. The chilaqules were bomb and delicious. Very authentic. Staff were friendly and inviting. Ive tried a few other restaurants with chilaqules and this has become my top 3 for sure. There are other items in the menu I am looking forward tk try next visit soon.
