Absolute best tamales and mole I’ve ever had. Lorena is also the sweetest human I have ever met.

These are the best tamales I’ve ever eaten. Seriously tasted very gourmet. The corn was so moist it was like bread. And the salsas were so fresh! Topped my tinga chicken with salsas and Forager sour cream. Got them at the farmers market in Woodland Park. Thank you for the extraordinary taste journey!

I reached out to Lorena in a pinch and she delivered and then some! I am a part of the Vegan COS FB page and often see her posts and others' posts about her amazing tamales. So, I ordered a dozen assortment of the vegan tamales for my work potluck. Although I am the only vegan on my team, everyone loved them! She was able to accommodate my order within 48 hours, in which I was very grateful. When I came by to pick up, one of the employees there was kind enough to carry it out to my car since the aluminum tin was still pretty hot. Let's keep supporting family, local, POC owned businesses! ❤️

Fantastic vegetarian and vegan tamales. These are some of the best I’ve had. The masa has fantastic flavor and consistency and I love all the flavor options available!

Amazing, flavorful, filling gourmet food. The mole is truly a culinary work of art. Chef Lorena and the staff are welcoming and warm.

The tamales were outstanding! The flavors and spices in the red chili pork and green chili chicken were amazing! We also enjoyed the vegetarian poblano sweet corn tamales as well. We greatly appreciate the healthier version without lard from this establishment. We will return for more!

These were probably the most flavorful tamales I've ever had. Will definitely pick up more!

I love Oaxaca, I love that Lorena is just in my neighborhood too! She is such a special person as vibrant as the colores de Oaxaca ?

I wasn't much of a tamale fan or a fan of black beans until I had lunch here. Tried the chicken green chile tamale and it was very good. Came with a side of beans and rice, both of which were very flavorful. The owner is very nice. I will going more often. Warning: they are not open every day and inside dining is very small. Only a few tables.
