Was in Torrance yesterday and had the opportunity to come by this place and try the Super Duper Tamale. This was one of those places I have heard so much about and always see on food review channels so I felt like it was a must try. The man at the front desk was really friendly to my friends and I. He greeted us warmly when we walked in and basically explained that we should get the super duper tamale. He made a very strong case as I do not know any other businesses that sell...

The Tamale Man makes some of the best tamales I’ve ever had! The flavor is outstanding, packed with tender chicken and rich sauce—definitely not your average tamale. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and you can really taste that they’re made with love. Truly unique and delicious. The Tamale Man outdid himself, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
