Rosa's Tamales #1 is renowned for its delicious Oaxaqueño tamales, as praised by customers. The masa has the perfect texture, with lots of flavor, and the chicken is shredded and generous. The green salsa is not too spicy and has a lot of flavor. The tamal Oaxaqueño has a delicious flavor, and the regular tamales de frijoles con queso are also delicious. Customers enjoy the Champurrado de Nuez and the atole. The restaurant was able to fulfill a large order of three dozen tamales for Thanksgiving, satisfying the customer's family. Totally worth the price, and highly recommended.
The restaurant offers a variety of tamale options, including both pork and chicken, which is appreciated by customers. The green tamales and pink tamales are particularly popular, and the Champurado is described as "so bomb." The atmosphere is welcoming, despite the restaurant being packed every day. Customers have been supporting the restaurant for years and are generally satisfied with the quality of the tamales, especially the cheese and pepper tamales, as well as the corn tamales. The chicken tamales, however, have been criticized for being too dry.
