The tamales are bomb hope this spot sticks around
Good spot! Check it out.
I ordered take out from here in NYC. I i'm always on the lookout for a great tamale... And these guys did not disappoint. I ordered two types of tamales, both delicious. I ordered their street corn on the cob, delicious. And I had their rice and beans, which we're also great. The food was fresh, delivered hot, and so so good. Look forward to my next business trip so I can order from them again!!

Tamaleria La Madrina is a tamale specialty restaurant in Crown Heights, described as a little gem and a tiny tamale counter from a husband-wife team using family recipes from Hidalgo, Mexico. The tamales are very good with excellent masa and tasty fillings, and the price is right. Specific meals mentioned include the tamal oaxaqueno, pollo verde, tamal oaxqueno con queso, tamal de mole, and rajas con queso. The tamal oaxaqueno is noted as absolutely delicious with generous, super moist portions and high-quality ingredients. The green sauce tasted like it was made 15 minutes ago, and the Jamaica drink is so good. The hot chocolate and champurrado are also mentioned. Service is efficient and friendly, with one delivery order arriving steaming hot, carefully wrapped, and extremely fast. However, there are concerns about delivery orders: tamales are not labeled, leading to wrong items being sent. The music inside the location is a bit loud. Other menu items include a tamale sandwich, taquitos, quesadillas, horchata, and PAN dulce. The restaurant has a few stools and a cash vibe with big flavor.
