All around amazing. The tamales are 100% best ever. They felt like a pound each with a great amount of filling. Bakery items are great, too!

Oh boy!!! Their tamales are the best in town! I heard about this place through a community in my town on facebook. I ordered 30 tamales for my family on NYE, and my Mexican niece who is a great cook loved them too. It is so easy not to notice this place as I have parked in front of it many times and never knew. I will order from them again, and again!! Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Secret’s out, kids. Best tamales anywhere. Lots of meat vs masa. Grab some Mexican sour cream while you are there. We’ve been doing this nearly every trip for years. You won’t be disappointed. Will run out on heavy tourist days, so get them 1PM or so.

I went in late in the day to get some tamales. I love their tamales!!! However, I went too late in the day to get the ones that I wanted. However, they had substitutes.. Next time, I will hopefully remember to go earlier in the day.
They also have Mexican pastries and bread. The bread and tamales are made fresh daily. They also carry Mexican herbs and spices that are less expensive than some places.
If you are looking for a pinata– this is a great place to go!
If you don’t have the time or money to go to a foreign country, and you have never been to a Mexican store or country–this might be great fun for you!

What a find! We had Tamales and fruit empanadas. The tamales are definitely best I have ever had since Mama Mesa’s homemade ones. They are ready at 7 am and a perfect breakfast. Chicken and green chili, Yum! The fruit empanadas were the perfect ending with coffee. Yes I am stuffed, my belly is full and on fire! Perfect!

This Bakery makes the best tamales in Santa Cruz County. The sweet corn tamales make for a good dessert. Price points are in line for the quality they make.

Came here to try the pan dulce – what a selection! Will definitely be back to try a filled sweet bread and a tamale. The sweet bread I tried was so satisfying and fluffy, just the right amount of sweetness. Note they have a $10 credit card limit and the sweet bread I got was only $1.
