I finally found good Mexican food that’s authentic in federal way. I found them while it was walking with Siri and I got their tamales that are Rajas with queso OMG They were so incredibly good. I give up buying tamales quite a while ago because I couldn’t find any good ones. They have great ones and they Agua is awesome. I can’t wait to go back for a torta ahogada!! I haven’t had one since I was in GDL!! Check them out they close a little early. She said 7 PM. They are so good.!!

The atmosphere is so loving welcoming and accepting. The customer service is always amazing cheerful and quick, their food is pretty good and cheap too. They always got new things on display. They are so polite and accepting I will definitely be coming back, this is my new favorite place to eat?Kid-friendliness: They have a lot of really nice variety of kid options and the music is respectful and mostly cultural so nothing vulgar is playing in the store, no one cusses and there are plenty of seats. Coming from a kid myself this is a really nice place to go ?
I've only had the tamales each time I've gone, and they are good baby. My understanding is that traditionally, tamales are reserved for holidays and occasions. So it's nice to find a place that puts all that work in regularly.The spicy chicken, pork and rajas are my go-to options. The masa is seasoned well, and thick. The filling is great too. I hope they add chicharrones to the tamales hehe. They sell horchata, but it wasn't my favorite. Menudo and Pozole are on the menu as well.They also sell flan and other desert items. They have rancheritos and other specialty snacks you would expect to find in Mexico.

Tamales Tamales Tamales!! If you are a tamale connoisseur, like I am, you will LOVE it! They have many savory flavors like pork (spicy or not) chicken, jalapeño cheese, chicken mole… and many sweet flavors like pineapple, blueberry… They also sell tacos and burritos, flan and other sweet treats!I haven’t tried everything on the menu yet but what I did try was amazing so I cannot wait to come back already!

I went there today for some pork tamales. I ordered 2 and ate one. The tamales were not very good. I'm sorry to report. What little meat in the tamale was dry. The tamale looked big but that's because it's mostly masa which a bit on the salty side. My quest for good authentic tamales continues.

The jalapeño cheese tamales are my favorite. So delicious.

We ordered tamales for our Christmas dinner and they were delicious. We were sure to have all the kinds and each tasted authentically Mexican. The sauces are fabulous! We are so happy to have this restaurant in our neighborhood.
These tamales taste like the ones my mom makes the masa is really flavorful and moist. Will definitely come back for more ?????

Fantastic. I could stop there. I had a spicy chicken tamale which was perfectly spiced. Beans were 100% homemade and you can tell. Excellent quality. This was the first time I tried a sweet tamale. I had the pineapple and it was a pleasant surprise. Overall, you need to try this place

My abuela would be upset with me, but these are the best tamales I have ever had. Tried the sweet corn, spicy pork, and normal chicken. All delicious, need to go back soon. 10/10 would recommend!

Wow! Que ricos tamales! Casi igualitos a los de mi mamá.These tamales are the bomb, dude. Almost exactly like my mom's.Vegetarian options: I don't know if they make their masa w lard or not, but they have jalapeño and cheese tamales.Kid-friendliness: This place is for everyone. There are candies and chips from Mexico for the kids to try.
