Visiting from Texas and saw this place as I was driving, so made a U-turn to stop by.
Got a chicken and cheese Tamale. The chicken was great, a little thin but it had a good amount of meet to masa ratio. But the cheese was disappointing, it was 80% masa and had a small pepper and little cheese.

They made a typo. They said best tamales in the Bay area but they meant worst. These are 90% masa. Look at the picture and tell me that isn't a joke. That's the pork tamale. They couldn't have put less in if they tried. I got cheese chicken and pork and all three are incredibly light on the filling. If I hadn't read a review saying to ask for the free salsa which they don't otherwise include, these would be too dense to even choke down.

Anyone who's ordered corn tamales here before, did you have meat in them also? They tasted bland/ dry to me. Didn't taste anything like corn

Delicious tamales at a great price, make sure to ask for their salsa as they only include it if you ask!

My fave place to grab n go some homemade muy rico tamales! It's literally a window you order at, limited street parking, but you can get thicc delicious tamales hot and ready to eat or to keep for another day. They last a week in the fridge. But mine never last that long. Chicken is my fave, the cheese is good too. Veggies is my least fave but I still like it! Huge portions. Quality people and hearty tamales. Go get you some from Tamaleria Azteca!
Wife grew up in the Mission in SF and had lots of restaurant, food cart, and homemade tamales. She says these are some of her favorites!

Honestly if you don't like these tamales there is no hope for you. Am Mexican and lived in mexico and these tamales are as legit as they come. Think mexican food in the bay area is shit overall but these have me coming back for more for the taste, authenticity, and quality

Big tamales. Good value but every time I’ve been they only have pork
Cathy Leonard
I love their food and service. The tamales and excellent and the masa is always fresh and delicious. Sometimes they have daily specials which are also delicious such as tacos dorados and eliotes in a cup. Yum.
I don’t eat pork so the owner makes the masa with oil instead of lard, if I place a minimum order. Thanks Sergio for accommodating my diet restrictions.

Delicious tamales (currently 3 for $11)! Can ask for salsa, cutlery etc if you like.
