I buy their tamales at the Tuesday farmers market at CSUF. I find it insane that they have to drive an hour to get there... but I'm thankful because the tamales are super delicious. 6 Dollars per tamale, and they're a good size that can fill you up with only 1-2. The beef tamale is my favorite. It's a bit spicy, but the flavor is so good along with the outside. The outside bread (?) is my favorite part, somehow. It's very soft and somewhat moist.

Great place to get your tamales!
We got the red pork and the green chile cheese. Hands down best tamales I've ever had. They are big. Have the perfect portions of masa and meat. Masa is nice and fluffy. She gave us red and green salsas. Spicy and has great flavor.
