Amazing. It's probably the only place that has sanitizers around 3, paper towels, napkins. The service is great. We didn't know what exactly to order so the guy gave as one tamales for free just to try it. :) He was very kind and patient since we wasted a lot of his time with questions Very good place! Highly recommend it :)

They have probably THE BEST tamales I’ve ever had in my entire life! The red pepper, the mole, the chicken - you seriously have to get one of every flavor. SO glad they’re opened a restaurant here!

How has this place not blown up and why isn’t there a line out the door!? Their tamales are amazing!!!! Literally the best Tamales I have ever had and I came from Pilsen! The carne puerco in salsa verde tamales were fire!! The mole tamales were super super tasty. The rajas were delicious— but the salsa verde were just perfection. Such s hole in the wall so glad to find this place.

I am so happy I found this place! We ordered burritos, chips and salsa/guacamole with a side of beans and rice. It was authentic, delicious and fresh! After two years of living in the area we have finally found a place we will keep ordering from regularly.

The food is as authentic as it gets! Everything is right on. No words would give a fair explanation of the sensation to your palate. You would just have to taste and find out for yourself. I’ve traveled around broadly in Mexico, and I cook based on my true experience and memory of palate instead of recipe books. I consider myself a picky Mexican food eater as most of the Mexican food in America do not meet my standards for true Mexican cuisine, but this place! It is nothing BUT AUTHENTIC! Excellent service. Limited dine in capacity. They are all about the food!

Great food, Tamales are unique unlike the street tamales you find in Chicago. They are filled with alot more flavor and wrapped in a banana leaf which offers an even more unique flavor. A++ would buy from again.

I ordered a pork tamale with red sauce (salsa roja), chicken tamale with green sauce (salsa verde), chicken with mole Oaxaqueno, and a steak (asada) taco. If you like banana leaf wrapped tamales, you will like these tamales. Of the three tamales we ordered, we liked the mole tamale the most. There is one long table by the window.

Food was delicious, but service was amazing. I ordered online and walked in to pick up. There was quite a line, however they moved as quickly as possible and apologized for the wait. I got home only to find that half of my order was missing. When I called the restaurant, he quickly apologized and realized the mistake that was mde and went out of their way to make it right! Truly appreciate the customer service and look forward to supporting them again!

Tiny Mexican place with amazing food . We got Torta de Asada and Torta de Pollo . It was amazing . Good fries, personal is welcoming. They try to expand and have more space. First time and not last in here. Thank you for great food and service.
