Emma’s Tamales is a cute little spot near the waterfront in old Sac. The staff is welcoming and friendly, with one lady even giving water for a pup. The atmosphere created by Joe is inviting, making it a favorite spot for many. Customers have enjoyed the polished dog with all the trimmings, calling it delicious. The tamales are noted to be great, and they are made without lard. While some have mentioned that the tamales may not be the best they've had, they are decent in flavor and portion size. The homemade salsa is praised for being phenomenal, although the salsa and sour cream portions are still considered small by some. The food seems to be warmed up, possibly made the day before. Despite this, they offer authentic coke and the prices are seen as unbelievable. Overall, it’s a place that many would visit again.
