Ordered tamales after checking out the reviews… I was not disappointed! I ordered 6 of each and they are so freaking good. Perfect ratio of masa and meat (or cheese). I am going to order a couple dozen more because they are so dang good!

This small, quaint restaurant is nestled in a small strip mall off Tustin Ave in Orange, CA. From the outside, it's easy to miss driving North on Tustin. The parking lot is small also.When you enter the comfortable-lit restaurant, you are greeted by soothing Spanish music. I came, in for the first time, close to Thanksgiving. The decorations were appropriate for the time of year. Very nice setting to enjoy a delicious meal.The young lady gave me an inviting smile and greeting as soon l entered the establishment.The first time I came through I got the signature item, Tamles. I got 3 green-sauce chicken tamales. They were small, but full of meat and very flavorful. They were well-packaged and came with homemade hot green salsa. You can choose red salsa too. I got the green. She included napkins and salsa without me having to ask. This is a plus nowadays because most restaurants won't give you anything more than the order if you don't ask.The chicken was so tender and the tamales were well complimented by the salsa provided to me. The tamales may look small but once you start eating this art you come to realize it's worth the $3 for one. The cost was around $3 each as of 11/21/23. I did eat all 3 and was full.The following day I felt like I had to try out their $2 Taco Tuesday deals. These were Street tacos with your choice of Pork, chicken, or Steak. I went with 2 steak and 2 chicken.The Asada was so flavorful and delicious. Add the salsa and it is amazing.The pollo was not shredded. It was more cubed. It was delicious but dry-tasting. I put extra sauce on it. I was hoping the same pollo in the tamales would be in the taco. It was good but I prefer the Asada.I would definitely recommend this restaurant for the hospitality, cleanliness, and taste. Try for yourself.I ordered an extra side of green salsa to go because I really enjoyed it.Parking: Small parking lotKid-friendliness: Friendly and kind.Wheelchair accessibility: There is parking available

I was craving tamales and saw this place on Yelp and gave it a try because of the good reviews. I got 2 pork, 2 beef, and 2 chicken. The pork and beef were very good, with a good ratio of meat and masa. However, I didn't get to try the chicken since they gave me cheese instead. Not sure how they made this mistake. The person taking my order repeated the correct order and when i went to pick up she also repeated the correct order. I guess the cheese wrapping looks similar to the chicken one, so make sure to double check ur order before leaving. I tried calling them after and no one picked up the phone. Kinda ruined the first experience since this place was a little far for me and I just wasted $6 on two tamales that I'm not going to eat.

Really good tamales. We tried one of every kind. The beef were definitely the stand out winners, but the pork was also great and I enjoyed the chicken too. Masa was tasty and all the tamales were flavorful.We tried the sweet too, the corn was excellent, the pineapple and strawberry were a bit weird, but we sort of knew that when we ordered, just wanted to try anyway.Overall two thumbs up and definitely coming here again, and getting more beef tamales!

Try the beef tamale with the Red Sauce, green sauce just standard. Chicken tamale was a no no (dry, flavorless).Overall, tamale was pretty average. A LOT of masa and not much meat $2.75/each.Excellent service from the girl at the front. I'd come back if i'm in the area just for the beef tamale and red sauce.
Good place. If you like tamales and other Mexican food.
