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.

I have never eaten here because every time I try to support this business it's closed! The time-frames are inconsistent and I also don't like how the owner is going back and forth with ppl in the comments. I will not support this business.

The menu is confusing, thought I could order chorizo but then was told that everything is premade and they just warm it up and the chorizo was sold as an item to take home and not a tamale. So I then asked for a chorizo burrito but without the eggs (to make it vegan) and was told that it’s premade and I couldn’t order it. I ended up ordering an enchilada with rice and beans. It felt like I ordered a frozen tv dinner. The inside was mush and it just wasn’t good? I like that there’s a vegan option in the strip but damn, I would’ve rather had something else. If the owner ever reads this, please consider better plating, update your menu, maybe bring one skillet to the area to cook something. The microwaved meals are not cutting it. Location has lots of potential.

I always try to stop here when I visit Old Sac. The owner is kind, and you can't beat a vegan tamale!! Updated from previous review on 2024-11-16

Don’t know why people hate on this spot. Tamales were bomb, came with salsa, cashier was kind, nice location. I’ll visit again when I’m in Sacramento.

the food has been fine in the past but today we couldn't get past the guy lecturing my 12 year old about hand sanitizer. apparently no one watches out for you, go cry to your mom (he's 12 and it's hand sanitizer). seriously way to be an a-hole to a kid. NEVER

Odd hours and they use a microwave to warm up food rather than serving fresh. I wanted to check out the menu but the website isn’t even mobile friendly so I can’t see it. Wasted my time driving to this location.

I’m kinda confused by all the reviews. The lady we had was wearing gloves, super kind an welcoming, gave us water for our pup twice. My dad who’s picky about food said they were good. Not as spicy as he wished but not bad. I couldn’t base a review off just vegan options or such. The food yes looks like it’s being warmed up. As if they make them the day before. Honestly only stopped cause they had authentic coke an that’s all that matters to me lol. I’d stop here again too!
