Emma's Tamales is a cozy spot with a dated atmosphere, but the food is pure magic. The vegan options are incredibly delicious, with three different choices available. Vegetarians will find a great deal here, with 3 veg tamales for $12.50. While it's not a sit-down setting, the tamales are worth it, with many customers claiming they are the best in Sacramento. The shop offers homemade tamales, and the pork tamales come with rice and beans, though some found them flavorless. The jalapeno and cheese tamale is also a vegetarian option. The masa is very good, and the tamales are well-packaged. The service is great, with friendly staff who are a delight to talk with. Located in a strip full of mechanics, parking is abundant. Overall, Emma's Tamales provides delicious and affordable tamales that are definitely worth a visit.
