“Tamales Naborina is truly a hidden gem a street vendor that has been a staple in Watts for years. Itโs the kind of place thatโs known by locals, and while itโs somewhat of a well-kept secret, I believe everyone deserves to experience their incredible tamales! **Location:** You can usually find the bright yellow food truck at the corner of 105th and Wilmington Avenue. **Service:** The service is impressively quick, especially given the number of customers they serve in the morning. You'll be in and out before you know it! **Parking:** Keep in mind that parking is limited to street parking, so be prepared to search for a spot and take a short walk to the truck. **Food:** The tamales here are as authentic as it gets! They use traditional masa with lard and offer a variety of fillings, including red chicken, green chicken, red pork, and cheese tamales. I always opt for their cheese tamales, as they truly do not skimp on the cheese-to-masa ratio, make sure you ask for extra napkins to absorb the grease from the tamales. Donโt forget to grab their green salsa topped with onion and cilantroโitโs a must-have accompaniment and their champurrado is delicious! On weekends, they also offer banana leaf-wrapped tamales and corn tamales, also known as Ucheposโif you know, you know! **Overall:** If youโre looking for authentic and delicious tamales, Naborina Tamales is a must-visit. Their offerings are not only tasty but also filling, making it worth the trip!”
