Amazing tamales! My mom and I went as soon as they opened, and they were still rolling/preparing them. They are always fresh and full of flavor. My favorite is the beef, while my mom loves the jalapeño and pork. I always buy too bags because I eat one packet in the car. Bring cash!

I got the pork tamales, with the salsa on the side. Chefs kiss ? ?Was going to take a pic of the tamales but they were gone to fast, gave some to my babys teacher, my grandmother, my kids, me and my husband lol. Everybody was licking they fingers. I came here after searching the city for homemade tamales I got a couple months back. I couldn't find them for nothing, so I'm so happy that I found this place instead!!! I met two wonderful ladies who put they foot in them tamales. I ate one to test it, because I was trying to find the place I had previously bought them from. All's I can say, is forget the last ones, these ones are the GOAT. Mrs. Susie and Mrs. Maria have gained a little family of clientele messing with me. ❤️ These ladies are funny, inviting, honest, and have a real passion for the food they make and serve. Today was a great day already but got 10x better after stopping here.

Ok, not amazing tamales. Thought they were small for the price. Cash only is a Challenge too

The tamales were great just a Lil small for the price can go around the corner n get a dozen for less but I've wanted to try this place for a while not sure if it was completely worth the wait.

The tamales were very delicious. Los tamales están bien deliciosos. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because they were very small tamales. They should easily be double the size for the price. La Unica razón que no let the cinco estrellas esporclos tamales estan muy chiquitos para al precio. Deberian de ser doble el tamanio. Not really much for atmosphere, it's just a little window where you pick up your tamales.

I’ve seen this place time, and time again and decided to stop by today. The beef tamales were very “okay” nothing special whatsoever. Chicken tamales had more flavor but also very average at best. Service was great and quick.Vegetarian options: Jalapeno/cheese or bean tamales (weekends only)
