This place has the best tamales I have ever had in my life! I would go here as soon as they open and buy enough tamales to last me all day! Highly recommend!

Astounding!! The picture shows all the gigantic pots of homemade Mexican specialities. My mama makes tamales 3 times a year and I love them. No lie these may be better. Sorry mom! I recently brought my mom and family in. They got asada tacos and enjoyed them very much. The carnitas tamales with the verde salsa are delicious with my Horchata or Atole. The red sauce with chicken ones are perfect for those that can't handle spice. This place opens very early and the people here work VERY hard. It's an absolute must to stop in and take some carnitas y tamales home! I have to come in once a week now. Love it!
