Well made and flavorful tamale, best I've had in a long time. Friendly customer service.

Hey let's start with the atmosphere... It's cold at least at this time of the year and the tables, chairs, walls are dated. But then when the food comes out... MAGIC! what an incredibly delicious vegan treat for us. We ordered three different options and each equally incredible.Vegetarian options: If you're vegan or vegetarian then you owe it to yourself to try this out. I give it a 9 out of 10 on the quality and fun of this place.

We loved this place. We're vegetarian so my husband and I shared 3 veg tamales for like $12.50. More than enough food.Great tamales and great setting.. Must warn you. This is not a sit down setting. Think of a food truck with a small indoor seating area.We will definitely be back.. Sorry no pics; we devoured the food before we were able to take any pics

Excellent beef tamale. I'd say this was the best tamale I've ever had. Service was good and the shop was clean. Will try the enchiladas next time.

Tamales are phenomenal but last time I went the girl working forgot the sour cream I paid for and was just generally cold & stand-offish. Usually the owner is there a lot of times working and she's incredibly friendly and communicative but I'm not sure if the employee today was just having a bad day or generally hates life/her job but it seemed like she could not wait to be done helping me with my order and get me out of there.

Our Sacramento Roller Derby league sold Tamales for our league fundraiser. It was a yummy success.

This restaurant is located in a strip full of mechanics and other trade shops. On the day of my visit, parking was abundant.I ordered two pork tamales which came with a side of rice and beans and a canned drink. The service I received was great, the lady servicing the store at the time was sweet.The food was packaged very well. The tamales themselves were good, though the wrapping they're placed in tends to stick to the tamale and makes taking it off kind of annoying. Unfortunately, I didn't much enjoy the rice and beans as I found them kind of flavorless. The spicy salsa provided helped a bit but not much.All in all, they make pretty good tamales. I will probably be back sometime to try the other varieties!Vegetarian options: Jalapeno and cheese tamale is an option, though lard is inherently unvegetarian.

Decided to try a new spot. Interesting shop as set up in industrial building. Vegan, vegetarian, and meat options for bother tamles and enchiladas. Vegan for me and meat for the coworker. Located this place via vegan search on yelp. Not a fan of either of the vegan options. Coworker got beef, chicken, and Chile rellano, not very impressed either. Salsa was lacking flavor as well. Per research they have another location I. Old sac, and sell their salsa at many local grocery stores, and tamales at many as well. Was hoping for a home run....

Super friendly staff and the jalapeño and cheese tamales are the best!
I am not vegan, but I bought the refrigerated began/veggie tamales and they were delicious! ALso, I was treated by a young man and he was so nice, great customer service! Can't wait to try their other plates and food.

I don't like tamales but my wife does. So, I decided to grab a few for her to sample. I ended up eating half of them. Also, good tea!
