I always grab tamales from here for my Godmother. She loves them. They put a smile on her face, and whenever I'm in the area, he's always available with many delicious options.

I came here with high expectations due to people saying that these were the best tamales in SD (I’m spoiled because my GMA back home makes bomb tamales) & I was excited to try these. The Tamal is mostly MASA & for $4 each you’d think there would be more meat inside, so be prepared for that. The pork tamal was okay, nothing special. The strawberry was nasty & didn’t really taste like strawberry at all. Worst of all, I asked the guy for 5 tamales which would equate to $20 .. i gave him $20 and he only gave me 4 tamales (i noticed while pulling off) he didn’t think to say here’s your change or here i forgot a tamale. No! He tried to run off with my $4 & it’s not about the $4 it’s the principle & that’s bad business! So I returned and said hey I’m missing a tamale & he tries to play it off like oh yeah that’s right, as if i didn’t ask him for 5 from the beginning. Do not recommend. Will not be returning

Tamales aren’t as cheap as they once were but they are still worth every penny! So so so good. Get the ones in the banana leaf if you can. Only drawback is he’s been out of salsa the last several times. So bring your Tapatio! (Recent review stated she couldn’t find it…. It’s outside the Chevron)

Its a stand outside the Cheveron. Best tamales I have ever had! Recommend the peppers con queso, but everything was good. Also, the guy working the stall was also super nice.

Best tamales in San Diego!!! The platano ones are my favorite but they're all delicious. The pineapple one is also delicious!
