Best tamales I've ate and I'm super picky!! The tamales go hard. I have not found anything close to them. I found the new address on DoorDash. I haven't been able to go but I wonder if they moved to the location in the attached picture. Update: I went and false alarm they aren't there.

It looks like this food truck has moved from the outside of Walgreens across from the Sprouts location. I'm so bummed! This was so delicious. My favorite was their carnitas tacos, super simple super tasty. I also love their burritos and of course their tamales. Huge portions, and my 6 year old also enjoyed the tastiness. I'll have to see whether the San Jose address is actually current, but it's a bit too far out for a regular drive by.

I stopped by this food truck last week after an early morning Sprouts shopping trip. I was glad I got there early because other people have said they could never get the mole tamale, but I lucked out. (I ate it for breakfast as soon as I got home.) The mole is obviously homemade, and I would drink it if I could. I didn't love the chicken in the tamale, but the mole sauce made up for it a million times over. This will be my go-to after shopping breakfast

This truck is parked over by Walgreens on El Camino and the women there (sisters?) have some of the best tamales ever! I have tried most of the flavors and most are fantastic -- my favorite is the chicken (in a green sauce) and the dessert tamales (one is chocolate and the other is pineapple/coconut). The masa is just the right texture and so moist -- and there is plenty of filling.A little pricey, but very worth it!

I've had this food truck in the past and recall the food being amazing. Recently decide to revisit, yet the hours on Yelp maybe off, because the truck is nowhere to be found lately!Like I was confused and thought I had woke up in a different world, cus the truck hasn't been around for over a week!

Erica is such a sweet lady and her food is bomb af! If you have a SWEET TOOTH such as mine I recommend her pineapple tamales. They are sooo good. However, my favorite one was the chocolate tamales. They were yummy! . It is literally a brownie but with the sweet taste and texture of a tamales! Seriously recommended it!

Yum! These are some of the best tamales I have had in the Bay Area honestly, but they're also on the expensive side. $5 for tamal is pretty crazy.I stumbled upon this bright green food truck while at Target. I ordered the Cheese & Jalapeño Mild Tamales and they were delicious! The masa wasn't too dense and it was very flavorful. There was a good amount of cheese in there too. I would definitely come back if they weren't so pricey.

Just ate a very good vegetarian burrito from here. All the other items looked really good as well. I feel bad for anyone that eats at chipotle when this is on the other side of the parking lot.
This is reviewing Mexi Tamalli's catering service for 60, although I'm certain we'll be back to get their food from their normal days. Erica was super friendly. Our guests really liked her, and service was quick. But more than that, the tamales were amazing. They clearly make everything from scratch. Everything, even the rice, was perfect (even the leftovers). Thank you making it such a great event! And we're dying to come by for some dessert tamales soon, but we are taking a short break from Mexican food after that!

Very good flavor of the tamales. We liked everything that we tried. They don't seem to always be open even though yelp says they should be.
