This restaurant located in the city of Pacoima is amazing, once I walked in I was surprised, nice Friday Kaloh painting on the main entrance, high ceiling, a nice bar, very friendly and helpful staff, I feel that the restaurant has a very old fashioned romantic ambience, just lovely, and what makes the place even better is the roof top, where anyone can enjoy a meal, specially if it’s evening time, there are 3 tables where you could take a date or even yourself to enjoy the sunset but it’ll be way better to have someone, the string lights makes it more romantic. There is also a kind of private room , where you could easily enjoy the street view while enjoying the food. The food is absolutely delicious, last week I saw this place and I have been going 4 times already, they even make the tamales, no frozen food. I had a house special I believe it is, comes with 2 eggsany style ,2 slices of bread and a tamale of your choice. Personally I loved their food and I highly recommend this place, don’t get me wrong if someone doesn’t like the taste but let’s be fair, we all have a different taste, but for me the food is delicious, and very affordable price. If I’m ever around I’ll definitely have to try a new dish

This place has lost its taste in the food and customer care I guess it’s time to head down the street 4 buildings away to abuelas231 north Maclay ave I don’t mind the wait it’s worth it also prices are better not 30 $ for a plate of chilaquiles

It seems I may have had a bit of a mixed experience at this restaurant. As a huge fan of homemade tamales, I was really looking forward to trying the Tamale Bowl. However, it didn’t quite match my expectations. I had envisioned something similar to a Chipotle-style bowl, but instead received a dish that felt more like a fresh, health-inspired bowl filled with an abundance of veggies.
On the positive side, my sisters Chili Relleno looked absolutely delicious and definitely caught my eye! In hindsight, I might have been better off choosing that or sticking with the classic tamales. Overall, while I didn’t find what I was hoping for, I can appreciate the emphasis on fresh ingredients. I may give this place another shot to explore more of the menu!

I use to live it here. For a while it was pricey to go here but it was worth it. I went today and it wasn’t very expensive but seems like the quality of the food also went down. I was given severely undercooked hash browns. Felt like they weren’t cooked at all. The horchata iced coffee use to my fav treat, but today it tasted like medicine. Not sure if they changed their coffee or horchata recipe but I’m pretty bummed out.

Going here is a nightmare! Never go here on Saturday for pick up. I thought picking up an order would be faster but have to wait 45 minutes for one dozen tamales and an order of pancakes and after the longest wait one of the staff members followed me outside to ask if I paid… why would I wait 45 minutes if it wasn’t paid! Next time go to gourmet tamales!

If you’re craving authentic Mexican cuisine, look no further than this hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious, with generous portions and prices that won’t break the bank. I highly recommend the sopes, tortas, and menudo.
While the food is undoubtedly the star of the show, there are a couple of areas where the restaurant could improve. During peak hours, the wait for your food can be a bit long, so be sure to factor that in when planning your visit. Additionally, the music selection is limited to reggaeton and bachata, which doesn’t quite capture the full breadth of Mexican music.
Overall, the delectable food and reasonable prices make this restaurant a must-try for Mexican food lovers. Just be prepared for a potential wait and a soundtrack that might not be entirely in sync with the cuisine.

Wow, this place is everything!!! So fresh, we came at a great time to see them make the Tamales on the spot. Ordered the Ribeye Steak cooked to perfection. Tamales are so soft and fluffy, and they don’t skip on the filling. Also, iced coffee was better than Starbucks.

Another little gem in the East valley. Very nice atmosphere Friendly staff. Little fruit & Vegetable stand inside as well witch is pretty convenient. Called in my order and it was ready when I arrived so that’s another plus. Got a dozen tamales mixed pork, Chili cheese, Mixed vegetable and Sweet corn & Pineapple. I have to say Not bad at all! The tamales are a good size and prices are fair. If your ever in Sanfernando Give this place a try.

Magaly’s is my go-to lunch place! I regularly enjoy the tamale bowel that consists of a choice of rice and beans as a base, lettuce and pico topping with a tamal of your choice. This time I decided to add some avocado.
