Affordable and generously filled tamales that do not skimp on flavor. Their verde especially was excellent: bright, savory, and delightfully garlicky.

I walked in. It was very clean. The guy who took my order was super friendly answer questions great customer service. Menu very straightforward. I really wanted a Champurrado but I got my tamales so fast (I picked up a dozen )and it was super hot. I forgot all about it, but I will be back to try. It seemed to be a very family friendly place. Monday Through Friday it opens at 5AM this is to 6 pm 6 am- 6pm Saturday and Sunday according to the Internet

Great place with great service. Clean and tidy interior with fair, reasonable prices. Their food is delicious. I tried the pollo verde and rojo and the puerco verde and rojo. All were absolutely delightful. Come on over and grab some hot and freshly made tamales. Cheers!

Called ahead to place an order late morning on a weekday, worker proved to be fast and efficient. They get VERY busy on the weekends may have to wait a few minutes. Champurrado was pretty good. Personal favorite tamales GREEN CHICKEN & RAJAS Nice local taste of home!

I want to start by saying I was really excited when this place opened because it’s so close to home, and we don’t have tamales nearby. I also try my best to support small—and especially very small—businesses. I’m also a very non-confrontational person, which makes situations like this uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, I’ve had pricing issues here twice.
The first time was toward the end of October. I ordered half a dozen tamales, which should be $10, but my card was charged $20. They were busy, so I figured it was an honest mistake. They also don’t provide receipts, which made it harder to catch at the moment.
Today (December 22nd around 9:05–9:10 a.m.), I went again and ordered half a dozen tamales. I was told the total was $11 and some change. I paid with a $50 bill and was given back $31. I hesitated at the door and did the math twice on my phone—even if the total was $12, I should have received $38 back, not $31. Again, no receipt was given.
It really sucks, because I genuinely want to support small businesses. I truly hope both situations were honest mistakes, but since this happened again when they weren’t busy, it doesn’t sit well with me.
I realize I should have counted my money right there and asked for a receipt, but I didn’t. I’m sharing this just to make others aware: please count your change before leaving. Because this has happened twice, I won’t be returning.

Was a proud fanatic of this place until I was given raw tamales. The young man gave me options I grabbed 24 total . He unravels a green one and tells me “this one is cooked. Maybe they didn’t all cook right. I can cook them for longer.” Mind you I lost two tamales at home already checking to see if they’re raw plus now the one the young man unraveled. Couldn’t replace them because after I came they sold out apparently which is odd because I just grabbed them less than maybe ten minutes ago.
I did get my money back but I’m super disappointed on receiving raw food. Unacceptable.

UPDATED REVIEW 10/10/25 – AFTER messaging the owners – they reassured me about the situation and gave me 24 tamales ON THE HOUSE FREE – I’m changing my bad review because this is how you get your customers on your side. They were firm on how they can make it better for me. This batch they made for my family and I were out of this world seriously. They’re moist, enough meat and enough salsa inside.
I’m content and will continue to come to this establishment. It didn’t take long for the owners to reach back and I truly appreciate that.

Absolutely unbeatable and legend worthy tamales. It’s hard to describe how good these are compared to the hundreds of others I’ve had in my life. Just incredible.
There’s not a bad one on the menu. The love and care in the food is evident. This isn’t just another tamale business, this is an extremely high quality and extremely good value meal.

The tamales are amazing, flavorful, and the masa to filling ratio is balanced. I can’t choose a favorite tamale because they are all delicious and fresh. The staff is very friendly. This is my favorite tamale spot !

Best tamales I’ve had in a long time. Piping hot, very fresh. Nice garlic flavor. This will be my new go to spot. Very affordable also!

First time going there this morning simple setup inside easy in and out. Street parking all around. Ordered 2 dozen and had them within 5 mins super hot and packed up tight. Very good flavor and well packed hefty tamale very filling. If you stay on the north side this is definitely a place you’d want to hit up Great prices as well.
