“ The best tamales that I have ever eaten, always fresh and the meat to masa ratio is fantastic. Good eating ”
“ A coworker brought tamales in today and I have to say they are the BEST I have ever had. I ate the one with red sauce (not spicy) and loved it. I can't do spicy and appreciate the facet that they carry some tat aren't spicy. Will be order some very soon. YUMMY ”
“ Favorite place for tamales! I've been getting tamales from them well over 6 years now. The best in the city. You won't regret it! ”
“ Best tamales I've ever had. I've been coming here since they opened shop and regularly bring some to share with coworkers. My favorite are rajas con epazote (pepper slices, cheese and green sauce). ”
“ THE. BEST. TAMALES!!! The green chicken is my absolute favorite. Will definitely order from here again. ”
“ Awesome fresh tamales ! Chicken with green sauce are absolute best ! Definitely will be ordering more ! ”
“ This is an impromptu review. A coworker came to work with some tamales, a dish I don't care for at all. However, I had a spicy chicken tamale. When I tell You it was sooo good...I've been trying to get there since then. The only thing is, the close super early. I raved about them do much, my boyfriend who loves tamales wants pork ones but they are always closed. They get 4 stars out of 5 because of their hours. ”
