I never post reviews but I had to for this. I’m from California and find it hard to come by good tamales in nyc. These were SO GOOD, and such an amazing deal. And he made my day with his kindness. I only regret not being a regular sooner.
Had the pork tamale and it was just really delicious flavor wise, I had it early in the morning, nice and steamy! The guys is also just a very sweet person! Hope more people gets to try his 🫔
What a wonderful find! Came across this by chance and so glad I did. I got the pork tamales with green sauce (a special!) and the chicken mole. The green sauce was incredible and so flavorful. And the guy running this is so kind and easy to chat with. Please support him!
