We tried one of each tamale, the pork was my gfs favorite, mine was the green chile chicken, first time trying a seafood tamale and they had 13 types of tamales. The prices for the tamales are so reasonable especially for the flavor and quick service you get! We even got a 6 pack refrigerated and vacuum sealed to go for our freezer.

Visited July 17th..see receipt.
This cute little place is located at the old Sacramento waterfront and next door to Railroad Fish and Chips.
I discovered this place while walking around the area. I LOVE tamales and they make over a dozen different kinds.
I got the beef and chicken tamale to go (to bring it back to the hotel). They were moist and flavorful! I appreciate that the prices reflect what a typical tamale would cost. Very reasonable!
The man that waited on me was very nice and even brought water out to some doggies!
They also have warm chips and salsa for purchase.
I will be back and will buy a dozen next time i am in the area ! YUM!

Yesterday July 13th I took my three grandsons to Old Sacramento. Ages 11 9 and 7. We stopped at Emma's to get some tamales ,vegetarian, which were delicious but the gentleman there gave me a pumpkin tamale because I have been going to Emma's in the South area for a while and had never heard of the pumpkin tamale. I must say thank you. I don't even like pumpkin and this pumpkin tamale was delicious. Thank you again. And by the way the other two tamales were delicious also.

Had a hankering for an enchelota while in old Sac and stopped in Emma's for a bite. Service was friendly and informative however food took a minute to heat up in the microwave. As with all food warmed in a microwave the enchiladas temperature was a variable. The dish was a bit mushy as well. I bought some tortillas chips for 5 bucks and used the enchiladas as topping. Hot sauce was not hot and a bit skimpy. Was hoping for better.

I am Aussie, I got the polished dog with all the trimmings and it was delicious!. Service was wervice, the guy smiled. the place is set in ols Sacromemto with music playing, so not bad.
Joe was so informative, welcoming and provides a great environment. The tamales were phenomenal and so was the homemade salsa. The price of it all was unbelievable! It was not expensive at all. We will be back here more often.

These tamales are so fire I stopped in there and there was this girl working and she was so cool and talkative. She made me feel right at home those are the best tamales I ever had and not only that there was great customer service with their cashier

mid tamales that are refrigerated and microwaved for $14, salsa wasn't spicy at all and barely gave any. expensive for what it is, i felt sad after eating this. if that was my last meal i would just shoot myself on the spot.

Bland tamales that taste worse than the ones that you buy at Costco, everything is microwaved and lukewarm. I wouldn’t give this food to the homeless.
