I’m sorry, but I will be brutally honest and say that the tamales here are NOT worth it. They’re 2.99 a piece, and they lacked flavor. The green salsa didn’t help either because it didn’t taste like anything and wasn’t spicy. For a small cup of rice that also was flavorless, 5 dollars?!
To top it all off, the person who took our order and served us was making racist remarks. Assumed we were Chinese and kept using his fingers to pull his eyes outward to mimic “asian eyes”. It was extremely off-putting and disappointing. Won’t ever be coming back.

Not sure why this place is not packed. Best tamales I’ve had. My first time here and Alex was so polite. Tamales came out quick, hot and extra yummy, had to order more to go.

I've passed this restaurant multiple times to and from work for weeks. I'm so so glad I finally stopped in. Tamales were delicious. Jalapeno and cheese ones are my all time favorite. So many options to choose from. The owner was so wonderful and made you feel at home. Amazing artwork for sale as well!

Y'all! Do NOT sleep on this place!! The vegan Tamales are all delicious! We had all of them! The atole was hot, but also yummy! Alex (I think was his name) is amazing. Great service, quaint spot. Our friend had non-vegan Tamales with el lote and loved everything as well. Definitely will be back here when we're in town.
